From f3e6f7450861d1cc839a7d9edd0bebd2e531c9fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh Date: Sat, 14 Apr 2018 20:45:20 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] [9610] tcp: clear tp->packets_out when purging write queue Clear tp->packets_out when purging the write queue, otherwise tcp_rearm_rto() mistakenly assumes TCP write queue is not empty. This results in NULL pointer dereference. Also, remove the redundant `tp->packets_out = 0` from tcp_disconnect(), since tcp_disconnect() calls tcp_write_queue_purge().
