I've corrected this, yet:

"Sorry! Of course should be:
I think your diagnose is correct (all "return -1" should be
changed to "return 0" in xfrm6_rcv_spi())."

It's just like Eric diagnosed:

xfrm6_rcv() calls tunnel6_rcv(), which calls handlers->handler()
and if handler() returns anything but 0, skb is kfreed. But
handler: xfrm6_tunnel_rcv() calls xfrm6_rcv_spi() and returns its
return without changing, which is only 1 and -1. It seems, in
every -1 case skb is kfreed by xfrm6_rcv_spi() or by functions
called by it, probably meaning skb was handled (delivered or
kfreed). The only path where skb is not kfreed returns 1.

tunnel6_rcv() treats both returns the same way - so some skbs
are kfreed 2 times.
