Yes, apologize for missing the NULL check (Actually I realized some
further check is need to correctly identify the first in flight
packet, as outstanding_bytes has already been increased by this first
in flight packet itself before getting into sctp_packet_transmit).

Anyway, I think I do not need further action, as the patch is anyway
not going to be merged, the 0day robot picks up the patch from the
mail list directly instead of git repo, right?

Thanks a lot,
