f4ad85ca3e [SCTP]: Fix protocol violation when receiving an error lenght INIT-ACK
When receiving an error length INIT-ACK during COOKIE-WAIT,
a 0-vtag ABORT will be responsed. This action violates the
protocol apparently. This patch achieves the following things.
1 If the INIT-ACK contains all the fixed parameters, use init-tag
  recorded from INIT-ACK as vtag.
2 If the INIT-ACK doesn't contain all the fixed parameters,
  just reflect its vtag.

bc09dff198 [SCTP]: Remove sctp_add_cmd_sf wrapper bloat
With a was number of callsites sctp_add_cmd_sf wrapper bloats
kernel by some amount. Due to unlikely tracking allyesconfig,
with the initial result were around ~7kB (thus caught my
attention) while a non-debug config produced only ~2.3kB effect.

I (ij) proposed first a patch to uninline it but Vlad responded
with a patch that removed the only sctp_add_cmd call which is
wrapped by sctp_add_cmd_sf (I wasn't sure if I could do that).
I did minor cleanup to Vlad's patch.

270637abff [SCTP]: Fix a race between module load and protosw access
There is a race is SCTP between the loading of the module
and the access by the socket layer to the protocol functions.
In particular, a list of addresss that SCTP maintains is
not initialized prior to the registration with the protosw.
Thus it is possible for a user application to gain access
to SCTP functions before everything has been initialized.
The problem shows up as odd crashes during connection
initializtion when we try to access the SCTP address list.

The solution is to refactor how we do registration and
initialize the lists prior to registering with the protosw.
Care must be taken since the address list initialization
depends on some other pieces of SCTP initialization.  Also
the clean-up in case of failure now also needs to be refactored.

3ab224be6d [NET] CORE: Introducing new memory accounting interface.
This patch introduces new memory accounting functions for each network
protocol. Most of them are renamed from memory accounting functions
for stream protocols. At the same time, some stream memory accounting
functions are removed since other functions do same thing.

Renaming:
	sk_stream_free_skb()		->	sk_wmem_free_skb()
	__sk_stream_mem_reclaim()	->	__sk_mem_reclaim()
	sk_stream_mem_reclaim()		->	sk_mem_reclaim()
	sk_stream_mem_schedule 		->    	__sk_mem_schedule()
	sk_stream_pages()      		->	sk_mem_pages()
	sk_stream_rmem_schedule()	->	sk_rmem_schedule()
	sk_stream_wmem_schedule()	->	sk_wmem_schedule()
	sk_charge_skb()			->	sk_mem_charge()

Removeing
	sk_stream_rfree():	consolidates into sock_rfree()
	sk_stream_set_owner_r(): consolidates into skb_set_owner_r()
	sk_stream_mem_schedule()

The following functions are added.
    	sk_has_account(): check if the protocol supports accounting
	sk_mem_uncharge(): do the opposite of sk_mem_charge()

In addition, to achieve consolidation, updating sk_wmem_queued is
removed from sk_mem_charge().

Next, to consolidate memory accounting functions, this patch adds
memory accounting calls to network core functions. Moreover, present
memory accounting call is renamed to new accounting call.

Finally we replace present memory accounting calls with new interface
in TCP and SCTP.

b6157d8e03 SCTP: Fix difference cases of retransmit.
Commit d0ce92910b broke several retransmit
cases including fast retransmit.  The reason is that we should
only delay by rto while doing retranmists as a result of a timeout.
Retransmit as a result of path mtu discover, fast retransmit, or
other evernts that should trigger immidiate retransmissions got broken.

Also, since rto is doubled prior to marking of packets elegable for
retransmission, we never marked correct chunks anyway.

The fix is provide a reason for a given retransmission so that we
can mark chunks appropriately and to save the old rto value to do
comparisons against.

All regressions tests passed with this code.

   To send chunks in an authenticated way, the sender MUST include these

   chunks in order to authenticate them.

   If the endpoint has no endpoint pair shared key for the peer, it MUST
   use Shared Key Identifier 0 with an empty endpoint pair shared key.
   If there are multiple endpoint shared keys the sender selects one and

6f4c618ddb SCTP : Add paramters validity check for ASCONF chunk
If ADDIP is enabled, when an ASCONF chunk is received with ASCONF
paramter length set to zero, this will cause infinite loop.
By the way, if an malformed ASCONF chunk is received, will cause
processing to access memory without verifying.

This is because of not check the validity of parameters in ASCONF chunk.
This patch fixed this.

ece25dfa09 SCTP: Clean up OOTB handling and fix infinite loop processing
While processing OOTB chunks as well as chunks with an invalid
length of 0, it was possible to SCTP to get wedged inside an
infinite loop because we didn't catch the condition correctly,
or didn't mark the packet for discard correctly.
This work is based on original findings and work by

559cf710b0 [SCTP]: Convert bind_addr_list locking to RCU
Since the sctp_sockaddr_entry is now RCU enabled as part of
the patch to synchronize sctp_localaddr_list, it makes sense to
change all handling of these entries to RCU.  This includes the
sctp_bind_addrs structure and it's list of bound addresses.

This list is currently protected by an external rw_lock and that
looks like an overkill.  There are only 2 writers to the list:
bind()/bindx() calls, and BH processing of ASCONF-ACK chunks.
These are already seriealized via the socket lock, so they will
not step on each other.  These are also relatively rare, so we
should be good with RCU.

The readers are varied and they are easily converted to RCU.

2930354799 [SCTP]: Add RCU synchronization around sctp_localaddr_list
sctp_localaddr_list is modified dynamically via NETDEV_UP
and NETDEV_DOWN events, but there is not synchronization
between writer (even handler) and readers.  As a result,
the readers can access an entry that has been freed and
crash the sytem.
