    Subject[PATCH 3.16 050/306] sctp: do not return the transmit err back to sctp_sendmsg
    3.16.40-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Xin Long <lucien.xin@gmail.com>

    commit 66388f2c08dfa38071f9eceae7bb29060d9be9aa upstream.

    Once a chunk is enqueued successfully, sctp queues can take care of it.
    Even if it is failed to transmit (like because of nomem), it should be
    put into retransmit queue.

    If sctp report this error to users, it confuses them, they may resend
    that msg, but actually in kernel sctp stack is in charge of retransmit
    it already.

    Besides, this error probably is not from the failure of transmitting
    current msg, but transmitting or retransmitting another msg's chunks,
    as sctp_outq_flush just tries to send out all transports' chunks.

    This patch is to make sctp_cmd_send_msg return avoid, and not return the
    transmit err back to sctp_sendmsg

    Fixes: 8b570dc9f7b6 ("sctp: only drop the reference on the datamsg after sending a msg")
