Re: [PATCH net] sctp: update dst pmtu with the correct daddr

When processing pmtu update from an icmp packet, it calls .update_pmtu
with sk instead of skb in sctp_transport_update_pmtu.

However for sctp, the daddr in the transport might be different from
inet_sock->inet_daddr or sk->sk_v6_daddr, which is used to update or
create the route cache. The incorrect daddr will cause a different
route cache created for the path.

So before calling .update_pmtu, inet_sock->inet_daddr/sk->sk_v6_daddr
should be updated with the daddr in the transport, and update it back
after it's done.

The issue has existed since route exceptions introduction.

Applied and queued up for -stable.

Although are you sure it's OK to temporarily change the sockets address
like this?  What if an asynchronous context looks at the socket state
and sees the temporarily set address?

Thanks.
