net: sched: Fix a possible null-pointer dereference in dequeue_func()
[ Upstream commit 051c7b39be4a91f6b7d8c4548444e4b850f1f56c ] 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.
