tcp_rtx_queue_tail() (called by tcp_fragment()) can call tcp_write_queue_prev() on the first packet in the queue, which will trigger the BUG in tcp_write_queue_prev(), because there is no previous packet.
This happens when the retransmit queue is empty, for example in case of a zero window.
Patch is needed for 4.4, 4.9 and 4.14 stable branches.
