As it says in rfc6458#section-9.2: The application uses the sctp_peeloff() call to branch off an association into a separate socket. (Note that the semantics are somewhat changed from the traditional one-to-one style accept() call.) Note also that the new socket is a one-to-one style socket. Thus, it will be confined to operations allowed for a one-to-one style socket. Prior to this patch, sctp_peeloff() returned a one-to-many type socket, on which some operations are not allowed, like shutdown, as Jere reported. This patch is to change it to return a one-to-one type socket instead.Thanks for looking into this. I like the patch, and it fixes my simple test case. But with this patch, peeled-off sockets are created by copying from a one-to-many socket to a one-to-one socket. Are you sure that that's not going to cause any problems? Is it possible that there was a reason why peeloff wasn't implemented this way in the first place?
I'm not sure, it's been there since very beginning, and I couldn't find any changelog about it. I guess it was trying to differentiate peeled-off socket from TCP style sockets.
With this patch there's no way to create UDP_HIGH_BANDWIDTH style
sockets anymore, so the remaining references should probably be
cleaned up:
./net/sctp/socket.c:1886: if (!sctp_style(sk, UDP_HIGH_BANDWIDTH) && msg->msg_name) {
./net/sctp/socket.c:8522: if (sctp_style(sk, UDP_HIGH_BANDWIDTH))
./include/net/sctp/structs.h:144: SCTP_SOCKET_UDP_HIGH_BANDWIDTH,
This patch disables those checks. The first one ignores a destination
address given to sendmsg() with a peeled-off socket - I don't know
why. The second one prevents listen() on a peeled-off socket.My understanding is: UDP_HIGH_BANDWIDTH is another kind of one-to-one socket, like TCP style. it can get asoc by its socket when sending msg, doesn't need daddr. Now I thinking to fix your issue in sctp_shutdown():
@@ -5163,7 +5163,7 @@ static void sctp_shutdown(struct sock *sk, int how) struct net *net = sock_net(sk); struct sctp_endpoint *ep; - if (!sctp_style(sk, TCP)) + if (sctp_style(sk, UDP)) return;
in this way, we actually think: one-to-many socket: UDP style socket one-to-one socket includes: UDP_HIGH_BANDWIDTH and TCP style sockets.
