Thanks for the report.

I believe that is due to
commit 08c2182cf0b4 ("xfrm: policy: use recently added helper in more places")

I will work on a fix to initialise dir in the loop where it is used.
Patch is here:
- [PATCH ipsec-next] xfrm: Initialise dir in xfrm_hash_rebuild()
  https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240830-xfrm_hash_rebuild-dir-v1-1-f75092d07e1b@kernel.org/T/#u (local)
I sent the same patch as a v1 but Florian pointed out that dir needs to
be initialized in the other loop too. I sent my v2 for it yesterday, it
just needs to be merged.

Cheers,
Nathan
