When adding IPsec SA with PF_KEY (pfkey_add()), xfrm_probe_algs() is called to make all algorithms valid. However, it is missing to call it with netlink (xfrm_user) case and it causes xfrm_aalg_get_byname() return NULL even if the name of algorithm seems to be correct.Looks ok, but odd that this has not been picked up before.
As discovered, this never got picked up before mostly because the most popular user of xfrm_user (Openswan) is still using PF_KEY to probe the algorithms. Patch applied, arigato Masahide-san.
