I think, bisection is wrong this time :)

It should be e0e4b8fa533858532f1b9ea9c6a4660d09beb37a ("net/smc: Add SMC
statistics support")


Some debug results:

syzkaller repro just opens the socket and calls sendmsg. Ftrace log:


 0)               |  smc_create() {
 0)               |    smc_sock_alloc() {
 0) + 88.493 us   |      smc_hash_sk();
 0) ! 131.487 us  |    }
 0) ! 189.912 us  |  }
 0)               |  smc_sendmsg() {
 0)   2.808 us    |    smc_tx_sendmsg();
 0) ! 148.484 us  |  }


That means, that smc_buf_create() wasn't called at all, so we need to
check sndbuf_desc before dereferencing

Something like this should work

diff --git a/net/smc/smc_tx.c b/net/smc/smc_tx.c
index 075c4f4b4..e24071b12 100644
--- a/net/smc/smc_tx.c
+++ b/net/smc/smc_tx.c
@@ -154,7 +154,7 @@ int smc_tx_sendmsg(struct smc_sock *smc, struct msghdr *msg, size_t len)

Thoughts?
