[BUG] 2.6.20 Oopses in xfrm_audit_log

[Charles-Edouard Ruault]

Hi All,

i upgraded to vanilla kernel 2.6.20 and while i was using strongswan 
2.8.2 to setup an IPSEC VPN i got the following kernel Ooops.
I had successfully established the same tunnel a few times, but key 
renegotiation caused a problem ( both ends did not renegotiate at the 
same time so the tunnel was frozen ), i decided to kill the tunnel and 
start a new one ( using ipsec auto --down tunnel & ipsec auto --up 
tunnel ), while i was doing so, i got the oops.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 
00000188
printing eip:
c02fb85c
*pde = 00000000
Oops: 0000 [#1]
