Hi Sabrina, your recent ipcomp patches seem to trigger this issue.
At least reverting them make it go away. Can you please look
into this?

Please note that

CONFIG_INET_DIAG_DESTROY=y

has to be set to trigger the warining.

Thanks!

I haven't looked at the other reports yet, but this one seems to be a

Thanks for the ping.

syzbot has found 2 different bugs that need separate fixes (but with
the same symptoms, hitting that WARNING, and coming from the same
patch series). I fixed one (syzbot confirmed the fix), I'm working on
the other one now.
