[PATCH] xfrm: check bundle policy existance before dereferencing it

From: Timo TerÃs
Date: Thu Jun 24 2010 - 01:45:56 EST


Fix the bundle validation code to not assume having a valid policy.
When we have multiple transformations for a xfrm policy, the bundle
instance will be a chain of bundles with only the first one having
the policy reference. When policy_genid is bumped it will expire the
first bundle in the chain which is equivalent of expiring the whole
chain.
