So this is the part i am missing i think. If i look at:

int ip_forward(struct sk_buff *skb)
{
.....
        if (!xfrm4_policy_check(NULL, XFRM_POLICY_FWD, skb))
                goto drop;
....
........later forwarding happens here ...
        if (!xfrm4_route_forward(skb))
                goto drop;
...
}

On entry we have a legit skb->skb_iif.
The validity check is before forwarding decision (where the interface
the packet is being forwarded to is recognized).

I agree if what you say earlier is true.

cheers,
