Sorry Greg, David -- I did not fully understand all the details
of the stable kernel process earlier.

I have since checked the networking stable queue here:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/bundle/davem/stable/?state=*

to confirm this upstream commit 9839ff0d has not yet been queued.

It can be applied to kernel versions<3.0, 3.4>, and is
present in mainline for 3.8+ kernels.

I think it makes sense to queue for stable because it
fixes the SCTP association can get stuck in SCTP_STATE_SHUTDOWN_PENDING
state forever in the below test case:
1). Set SCTP parameters on A (slow detection of link failure):
net.sctp.association_max_retrans = 5
net.sctp.path_max_retrans = 5
net.sctp.hb_interval = 30000
2). Set SCTP parameters on B (fast detection of link failure):
net.sctp.association_max_retrans = 2
net.sctp.path_max_retrans = 2
net.sctp.hb_interval = 1000
3). Start sctp_darn on both sides:
A(interactive):
sctp_darn -H 192.168.100.10 -P 256 -h 192.168.100.100 -p 256 -I -s
B:
sctp_darn -H 192.168.100.100 -P 256 -h 192.168.100.10 -p 256 -l&
4). Send data on A to establish the SCTP association:
snd=5
5). Block SCTP traffic on B (simulates a network failure):
iptables -t filter -I INPUT 1 -p sctp --dport 256 -j DROP
iptables -t filter -I OUTPUT 1 -p sctp --dport 256 -j DROP
Then quickly send data on A and then shutdown (A goes into SHUTDOWN_PENDING state):
snd=5
snd=5
shutdown
6). Wait for link to drop on B (Recieved SCTP_COMM_LOST), and quickly kill the listener,
open the firewall for SCTP, then start an SCTP sender:
kill $PID
iptables -t filter -D INPUT 1
iptables -t filter -D OUTPUT 1
sctp_darn -H 192.168.100.100 -P 256 -h 192.168.100.10 -p 256 -s
Press<Enter> to send data to trigger sending INIT to A, the SHUTDOWN on A will failed and
the association on A remains in SHUTDOWN_PENDING (5) state indefinitely.


However if David doesn't think it is worth bothering with for
net stable, then that is of course fine too.


Thanks,
Xufeng
