[PATCH] sctp: deal with multiple COOKIE_ECHO chunks

From: Max Matveev <hidden>
Date: 2011-08-30 07:20:19

Attempt to reduce the number of IP packets emitted in response to single
SCTP packet (2e3216cd) introduced a complication - if a packet contains
two COOKIE_ECHO chunks and nothing else then SCTP state machine corks the
socket while processing first COOKIE_ECHO and then loses the association
and forgets to uncork the socket. To deal with the issue add new SCTP
command which can be used to set association explictly. Use this new
command when processing second COOKIE_ECHO chunk to restore the context
for SCTP state machine.

Attempt to reduce the number of IP packets emitted in response to single
SCTP packet (2e3216cd) introduced a complication - if a packet contains
two COOKIE_ECHO chunks and nothing else then SCTP state machine corks the
socket while processing first COOKIE_ECHO and then loses the association
and forgets to uncork the socket. To deal with the issue add new SCTP
command which can be used to set association explictly. Use this new
command when processing second COOKIE_ECHO chunk to restore the context
for SCTP state machine.

Applied, but there were a ton of whitespace errors that GIT complained
about and I had to fix up.

Sorry about it - I did check it with checkpatch.pl and it was happy:
must've been the mailer.

checkpatch doesn't look thoroughly for these things, use
something like "git apply --check --whitespace=error-all"
for validation instead.
