Hi,
the attached patch fixes a bug in xfrm_send_policy_notify(). The space
allocated in skb must include 'sizeof(struct xfrm_user_polexpire)', not
'sizeof(struct xfrm_userpolicy_info)' which is shorter. On ia32 it
worked, probably because of some space gained from aligning.
Unfortunately on amd64 it didn't and finally led to BUG() & kernel hangup.
Please apply.
BTW The second patch attached does some obvious cleanup: replaces
RTA_ALIGN(RTA_LENGTH(x)) with RTA_SPACE(x) and ditto for NLMSG_*()
macros. Apply on top of the first one or drop it. It's up to you.
