1.walker init: its only a list head, no policy
xfrm_dump_policy_start
	xfrm_policy_walk_init(walk, XFRM_POLICY_TYPE_ANY);
		INIT_LIST_HEAD(&walk->walk.all);
		walk->walk.dead = 1;

2.add the walk head to net->xfrm.policy_all
xfrm_policy_walk
    list_for_each_entry_from(x, &net->xfrm.policy_all, all)
	if (error) {
		list_move_tail(&walk->walk.all, &x->all);
		//add the walk to list tail

3.traverse the walk list
xfrm_policy_flush
list_for_each_entry(pol, &net->xfrm.policy_all, walk.all)
	 dir = xfrm_policy_id2dir(pol->index);

it gets policy by &net->xfrm.policy_all-0x130(offset of walk in policy)
but when walk is head, we will read others memory by the calculated policy.
such as:
  walk addr  		policy addr
0xffff0000d7f3b530    0xffff0000d7f3b400 (non-existent) 

head walker of net->xfrm.policy_all can be skipped by  list_for_each_entry().
but the walker created by socket is located list tail. so we should skip it.
