This one looks good to me.

But for the patch 1/2 (somehow it doesn't show up in my mailbox):

  default:
  pr_err("impossible disposition %d in state %d, event_type %d, event_id %d\n",
        status, state, event_type, subtype.chunk);
- BUG();
+ error = status;
+ if (error >= 0)
+ error = -EINVAL;
+ WARN_ON_ONCE(1);

I think from the sctp_do_sm() perspective, it expects the state_fn
status only from
enum sctp_disposition. It is a BUG to receive any other values and
must be fixed,
as you did in 2/2. It does the same thing as other functions in SCTP code, like
sctp_sf_eat_data_*(), sctp_retransmit() etc.

It is a bug, sure.  And after my patch is applied it will still trigger
a stack trace.  But we should only call the actual BUG() function
in order to prevent filesystem corruption or a privilege escalation or
something along those lines.

Calling BUG() makes the system unusable so it makes bugs harder to
debug.  This is even mentioned in checkpatch.pl "Do not crash the kernel
unless it is absolutely unavoidable--use WARN_ON_ONCE() plus recovery
code (if feasible) instead of BUG() or variants".
