Yes, my fix is wrong.

The issue is triggered as this:

xfrm_add_policy
    -->verify_newpolicy_info  //here check the index provided by user with XFRM_POLICY_MAX
			      //In my case, the index is 0x6E6BB6, so it pass the check.
    -->xfrm_policy_construct  //copy the user's policy and set xfrm_policy_timer
    -->xfrm_policy_insert
	--> __xfrm_policy_link //use the orgin dir, in my case is 2
	--> xfrm_gen_index   //generate policy index, there is 0x6E6BB6

then xfrm_policy_timer be fired

xfrm_policy_timer
   --> xfrm_policy_id2dir  //get dir from policy index & 7, in my case is 6
   --> xfrm_policy_delete
      --> __xfrm_policy_unlink //There access policy_count[dir], it trigger out of range access

So maybe the fix is like this:

diff --git a/net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c b/net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c
index 8d1a898..b27eb742 100644
--- a/net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c
