[patch 21/59] IPSEC: Policy list disorder

From: Chris Wright
Date: Fri Feb 02 2007 - 21:38:52 EST


-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The recent hashing introduced an off-by-one bug in policy list insertion.
Instead of adding after the last entry with a lesser or equal priority,
we're adding after the successor of that entry.

This patch fixes this and also adds a warning if we detect a duplicate
entry in the policy list. This should never happen due to this if clause.
