4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ [ Upstream commit 04c03114be82194d4a4858d41dba8e286ad1787c ] soukjin bae reported a crash in tcp_v4_err() handling ICMP_DEST_UNREACH after tcp_write_queue_head(sk) returned a NULL pointer. Current logic should have prevented this : if (seq != tp->snd_una || !icsk->icsk_retransmits || !icsk->icsk_backoff || fastopen) break; Problem is the write queue might have been purged and icsk_backoff has not been cleared.
