This happens when the retransmit queue is empty, for example in case of a zero window. Commit 8c3088f895a0 ("tcp: be more careful in tcp_fragment()") was not a simple cherry-pick of the original one from master (b617158dc096) because there is a specific TCP rtx queue only since v4.15. For more details, please see the commit message of b617158dc096 ("tcp: be more careful in tcp_fragment()"). The BUG() is hit due to the specific code added to versions older than v4.15. The comment in skb_queue_prev() (include/linux/skbuff.h:1406), just before the BUG_ON() somehow suggests to add a check before using it, what Tim did. In master, this code path causing the issue will not be taken because the implementation of tcp_rtx_queue_tail() is different: tcp_fragment() → tcp_rtx_queue_tail() → tcp_write_queue_prev() → skb_queue_prev() → BUG_ON() Fixes: 8c3088f895a0 ("tcp: be more careful in tcp_fragment()") Signed-off-by: Tim Froidcoeur Signed-off-by: Matthieu Baerts Reviewed-by: Christoph Paasch Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin --- include/net/tcp.h | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/include/net/tcp.h b/include/net/tcp.h index 7994e569644e..785c4ef4e1bf 100644 --- a/include/net/tcp.h +++ b/include/net/tcp.h @@ -1702,6 +1702,10 @@ static inline struct sk_buff *tcp_rtx_queue_tail(const struct sock *sk) { struct sk_buff *skb = tcp_send_head(sk); + /* empty retransmit queue, for example due to zero window */ + if (skb == tcp_write_queue_head(sk)) + return NULL; + return skb ? tcp_write_queue_prev(sk, skb) : tcp_write_queue_tail(sk); } -- 2.20.1
