4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit c863850ce22e1b0bb365d49cadf51f4765153ae4 ] When sctp_wait_for_connect is called to wait for connect ready for sp->strm_interleave in sctp_sendmsg_to_asoc, a panic could be triggered if cpu is scheduled out and the new asoc is freed elsewhere, as it will return err and later the asoc gets freed again in sctp_sendmsg.

But this one can't be fixed by returning -ESRCH for the dead asoc in sctp_wait_for_connect, as it will break sctp_connect's return value to users. This patch is to simply set err to -ESRCH before it returns to sctp_sendmsg when any err is returned by sctp_wait_for_connect for sp->strm_interleave, so that no asoc would be freed due to this. When users see this error, they will know the packet hasn't been sent. And it also makes sense to not free asoc because waiting connect fails, like the second call for sctp_wait_for_connect in sctp_sendmsg_to_asoc.
