Thanks for pointing this out.

Non-blocking has a meaning dependant upon the xfrm_larval_drop sysctl
setting, and this is across the board. If xfrm_larval_drop is zero,
non-blocking semantics do not extend to IPSEC route resolution,
otherwise it does.

If he sets this sysctl to "1" as I detailed in my reply, he'll
get the behavior he wants.

Does anybody actually need the 0 setting? What would we break if
the default became 1?

Cheers,
