Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux

It allocates the extended area for outbound streams only on sendmsg calls, if they are not yet allocated. When using the priority stream scheduler, this initialization may imply into a subsequent allocation, which may fail. In this case, it was aborting the stream scheduler initialization but leaving the ->ext pointer (allocated) in there, thus in a partially initialized state. On a subsequent call to sendmsg, it would notice the ->ext pointer in there, and trip on uninitialized stuff when trying to schedule the data chunk. The fix is undo the ->ext initialization if the stream scheduler initialization fails and avoid the partially initialized state. Although syzkaller bisected this to commit |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
