Why do you want to keep the current implementation? We don't
use the cached bundles. I'd remove this caching with the patch
below during the next development cycle if nobody has a good
reason why we should keep it.


Subject: [PATCH RFC] xfrm: Remove caching of xfrm_policy_sk_bundles

We currently cache socket policy bundles at xfrm_policy_sk_bundles.
These cached bundles are never used. Instead we create and cache
a new one whenever xfrm_lookup() is called on a socket policy.

Most protocols cache the used routes to the socket, so let's
remove the unused caching of socket policy bundles in xfrm.
