Hi Xin,

Thank you for the patch! Yet something to improve:
I wonder how are you planning to fix this. It is quite entangled.
This is not performance critical. Maybe the cleanest way out is to
move it to a .c file.

Adding a
#if defined(CONFIG_IP_SCTP) || defined(CONFIG_IP_SCTP_MODULE)
in there doesn't seem good.

Here is actually another problem, I'm still thinking how to fix it.

Now sctp_mtu_payload() returns different value depending on
net->sctp.udp_port. but net->sctp.udp_port can be changed by
"sysctl -w" anytime. so:
Good point.

In sctp_packet_config() it gets overhead/headroom by calling
sctp_mtu_payload(). When 'udp_port' is 0, it's IP+MAC header
size. Then if 'udp_port' is changed to 9899 by 'sysctl -w',
udphdr will also be added to the packet in sctp_v4_xmit(),
and later the headroom may not be enough for IP+MAC headers.

I'm thinking to add sctp_sock->udp_port, and it'll be set when
the sock is created with net->udp_port. but not sure if we should
update sctp_sock->udp_port with  net->udp_port when sending packets?
I don't think so,

RFC6951 has:

      (SCTP_REMOTE_UDP_ENCAPS_PORT)
...
   sue_assoc_id:  This parameter is ignored for one-to-one style
      sockets.  For one-to-many style sockets, the application may fill
      in an association identifier or SCTP_FUTURE_ASSOC for this query.
      It is an error to use SCTP_{CURRENT|ALL}_ASSOC in sue_assoc_id.

   sue_address:  This specifies which address is of interest.  If a
      wildcard address is provided, it applies only to future paths.

So I'm not seeing a reason to have a system wide knob that takes
effect in run time like this.
Enable, start apps, and they keep behaving as initially configured.
Need to disable? Restart the apps/sockets.

Thoughts?
Right, not to update it on tx path makes more sense. Thanks.
