4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 988c7322116970696211e902b468aefec95b6ec4 ] In sctp_for_each_transport, pos is used to save how many objs it has dumped. Now it gets the last obj by sctp_transport_get_idx, then gets the next obj by sctp_transport_get_next. The issue is that in the meanwhile if some objs in transport hashtable are removed and the objs nums are less than pos, sctp_transport_get_idx would return NULL and hti.walker.tbl is NULL as well. At this moment it should stop hti, instead of continue getting the next obj. Or it would cause a NULL pointer dereference in sctp_transport_get_next. This patch is to pass pos + 1 into sctp_transport_get_idx to get the next obj directly, even if pos > objs nums, it would return NULL and stop hti.
