The faulting address is the address of the old chain head,
free'd by xfrm_hash_resize().

In xfrm_hash_rehash(), chain heads get re-initialized without
any hlist_del_rcu:

 for (i = hmask; i >= 0; i--)
    INIT_HLIST_HEAD(odst + i);

Then, hlist_del_rcu() gets called on the about to-be-reinserted policy
when iterating the per-net list of policies.

hlist_del_rcu() will then make chain->first be nonzero again:

static inline void __hlist_del(struct hlist_node *n)
{
   struct hlist_node *next = n->next;   // address of next element in list
   struct hlist_node **pprev = n->pprev;// location of previous elem, this
                                        // can point at chain->first
        WRITE_ONCE(*pprev, next);       // chain->first points to next elem
        if (next)
                next->pprev = pprev;

Then, when we walk chainlist to find insertion point, we may find a
non-empty list even though we're supposedly reinserting the first
policy to an empty chain.

To fix this first unlink all exact and inexact policies instead of
zeroing the list heads.

Add the commands equivalent to the syzbot reproducer to xfrm_policy.sh,
without fix KASAN catches the corruption as it happens, SLUB poisoning
detects it a bit later.

README

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
