I mean: what happesn when there are 2 tcp_v4_send_reset() on the same
CPU (with different sk argument)?

It looks like that after the first call to xfrm_sk_clone_policy(),
sk_ctl->sk_policy will be set to the newly allocated (cloned) policy.

The next call will first clear the sk_ctl->sk_policy - without freeing
the old value - and later set it again. 

It looks like a memory leak. Am I missing something?

Thanks!
