  * sk_set_md5_auth - add / remove MD5 security association for given socket
  * @s: socket

+ * for active sockets it may be enough to set s->password field.
  *
  * When called with passwd != NULL, the new pair is added,
  * When called with passwd == NULL, the existing pair is removed.
  *
+ * Note that while in Linux, the MD5 SAs are specific to socket, in BSD they are
+ * stored in global SA/SP database (but the behavior also must be enabled on
+ * per-socket basis). In case of multiple sockets to the same neighbor, the
+ * socket-specific state must be configured for each socket while global state
+ * just once per src-dst pair. The @setkey argument controls whether the global
+ * state (SA/SP database) is also updated.
+ *
  * Result: 0 for success, -1 for an error.
