Subject: [PATCH] ipsec: Fix aborted xfrm policy dump crash

[ Upstream commit 1137b5e2529a8f5ca8ee709288ecba3e68044df2 ]

An independent security researcher, Mohamed Ghannam, has reported this vulnerability to Beyond Security's SecuriTeam Secure Disclosure program.

The xfrm_dump_policy_done function expects xfrm_dump_policy to have been called at least once or it will crash. This can be triggered if a dump fails because the target socket's receive buffer is full.

This patch fixes it by using the cb->start mechanism to ensure that the initialisation is always done regardless of the buffer situation.

Fixes 12a169e7d8f4 ("ipsec: Put dumpers on the dump list")

It is in the 'net' tree from David Miller. It was merged to 'net' today from the ipsec tree.

But it fails in 4.4 due to api changes. If you think it is needed there, and you are able to, could you provide a backported patch?
