The root cause is:

cpu 0 cpu1
xfrm_dump_policy
xfrm_policy_walk
list_move_tail
xfrm_add_policy
... ...
xfrm_policy_inexact_list_reinsert
list_for_each_entry_reverse
if (!policy->bydst_reinsert)
//read non-existent policy
xfrm_dump_policy_done
xfrm_policy_walk_done
list_del(&walk->walk.all);

If dump_one_policy() returns err (triggered by netlink socket),
xfrm_policy_walk() will move walk initialized by socket to list
net->xfrm.policy_all. so this socket becomes visible in the global
policy list. The head *walk can be traversed when users add policies
with different prefixlen and trigger xfrm_policy node merge.

It can be fixed by skip such "policies" with walk.dead set to 1.

Fixes: 9cf545ebd591 ("xfrm: policy: store inexact policies in a tree ordered by destination address")
Fixes: 12a169e7d8f4 ("ipsec: Put dumpers on the dump list")
