The test result shows they are almost same:

You can also review the commit a6c2f79287 if you have time:
It just added some 'if()' in the sending path if we don't use
any policy . In our test, no policy was used, I even added
log in kernel to check if some unexpected policy is enabled.
But still no.
If you can reproduce this issue stably, I suggest you can reverse
some code of that patch (it's a really a small patch) and re-build
the kernel, then try.
With that, you can locate which line exactly triggered this issue.
Thanks.
