4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 2e990dfd13974d9eae493006f42ffb48707970ef ] syzbot reported a NULL-ptr deref caused by that sched->init() in sctp_stream_init() set stream->rr_next = NULL. kasan: GPF could be caused by NULL-ptr deref or user memory access RIP: 0010:sctp_sched_rr_dequeue+0xd3/0x170 net/sctp/stream_sched_rr.c:141 Call Trace: sctp_outq_dequeue_data net/sctp/outqueue.c:90 [inline] sctp_outq_flush_data net/sctp/outqueue.c:1079 [inline] sctp_outq_flush+0xba2/0x2790 net/sctp/outqueue.c:1205 All sched info is saved in sout->ext now, in sctp_stream_init() sctp_stream_alloc_out() will not change it, there's no need to call sched->init() again, since sctp_outq_init() has already done it.
