Linux kernel source tree
A null pointer reference issue can be triggered when the response of a
stream reconf request arrives after the timer is triggered, such as:
send Incoming SSN Reset Request --->
CPU0:
reconf timer is triggered,
go to the handler code before hold sk lock
<--- reply with Outgoing SSN Reset Request
CPU1:
process Outgoing SSN Reset Request,
and set asoc->strreset_chunk to NULL
CPU0:
continue the handler code, hold sk lock,
and try to hold asoc->strreset_chunk, crash!
In Ying Xu's testing, the call trace is:
[ ] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000010
[ ] RIP: 0010:sctp_chunk_hold+0xe/0x40 [sctp]
[ ] Call Trace:
[ ] <IRQ>
[ ] sctp_sf_send_reconf+0x2c/0x100 [sctp]
[ ] sctp_do_sm+0xa4/0x220 [sctp]
[ ] sctp_generate_reconf_event+0xbd/0xe0 [sctp]
[ ] call_timer_fn+0x26/0x130
This patch is to fix it by returning from the timer handler if asoc
strreset_chunk is already set to NULL.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
