Subject: net: sched: Fix a possible null-pointer dereference in dequeue_func()
Git-commit: 051c7b39be4a91f6b7d8c4548444e4b850f1f56c
Patch-mainline: 5.3-rc4
References: networking-stable-19_08_08
In dequeue_func(), there is an if statement on line 74 to check whether
skb is NULL:
if (skb)
When skb is NULL, it is used on line 77:
prefetch(&skb->end);
Thus, a possible null-pointer dereference may occur.
To fix this bug, skb->end is used when skb is not NULL.
This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
Fixes: 76e3cc126bb2 ("codel: Controlled Delay AQM")
