[PATCH 4.20 17/32] tcp: clear icsk_backoff in tcp_write_queue_purge()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Feb 21 2019 - 09:42:55 EST


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.
