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 4ff40b86262b ("sctp: set
chunk transport correctly when it's a new asoc"), this bug was actually
introduced on the commit I marked below.

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.
