At this point, a timer interrupt come, and call the run_timer_softirq to execute the xfrm_policy_timer to remove the expired policy node; because this policy node had already removed from list. this remove will cause the node double unlinked.

Good catch!

I wonder why I've never seen this. Do you have a reproducer for this bug?

Looks like it is sufficient to reinitialize the bydst hlist in
__xfrm_policy_unlink(). Then hlist_unhashed() will notice that
this policy is not linked.

Does the patch below help?
