Florian Westphal 862591bf4f xfrm: skip policies marked as dead while rehashing
syzkaller triggered following KASAN splat:

BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in xfrm_hash_rebuild+0xdbe/0xf00 net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c:618
read of size 2 at addr ffff8801c8e92fe4 by task kworker/1:1/23 [..]

 process_one_work+0xbbf/0x1b10 kernel/workqueue.c:2112
 worker_thread+0x223/0x1990 kernel/workqueue.c:2246 [..]

The reproducer triggers:
1016                 if (error) {
1017                         list_move_tail(&walk->walk.all, &x->all);
1018                         goto out;
1019                 }

in xfrm_policy_walk() via pfkey (it sets tiny rcv space, dump
callback returns -ENOBUFS).

In this case, *walk is located the pfkey socket struct, so this socket
becomes visible in the global policy list.

It looks like this is intentional -- phony walker has walk.dead set to 1
and all other places skip such "policies".

Ccing original authors of the two commits that seem to expose this
issue (first patch missed ->dead check, second patch adds pfkey
sockets to policies dumper list).

Fixes: 880a6fab8f ("xfrm: configure policy hash table thresholds by netlink")
Fixes: 12a169e7d8 ("ipsec: Put dumpers on the dump list")

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
