It allocates the extended area for outbound streams only on sendmsg calls, if they are not yet allocated. When using the priority stream scheduler, this initialization may imply into a subsequent allocation, which may fail. In this case, it was aborting the stream scheduler initialization but leaving the ->ext pointer (allocated) in there, thus in a partially initialized state. On a subsequent call to sendmsg, it would notice the ->ext pointer in there, and trip on uninitialized stuff when trying to schedule the data chunk. The fix is undo the ->ext initialization if the stream scheduler initialization fails and avoid the partially initialized state. Although syzkaller bisected this to commit 4ff40b86262b ("sctp: set chunk transport correctly when it's a new asoc"), this bug was actually introduced on the commit I marked below.
