While sctp handling a duplicate COOKIE-ECHO and the action is
'Association restart', sctp_sf_do_dupcook_a() will processing
the unexpected COOKIE-ECHO for peer restart, but it does not set
the association state to SCTP_STATE_ESTABLISHED, so the association
could stuck in SCTP_STATE_SHUTDOWN_PENDING state forever.
This violates the sctp specification:
  RFC 4960 5.2.4. Handle a COOKIE ECHO when a TCB Exists
  Action
  A) In this case, the peer may have restarted. .....
     After this, the endpoint shall enter the ESTABLISHED state.

Fix this problem by adding a SCTP_CMD_NEW_STATE cmd to the command
list so as to set the restart association to SCTP_STATE_ESTABLISHED
state properly.

Looks reasonable to me, thanks

nit: The RFC indicate the association should enter the ESTABLISHED state
after
preforming all other actions, so it seems that the state change should
occur
after the ULP event is sent

Good catch! I'll do what vlad suggested.
Thanks for your review!


Thanks,
