Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam
3ecdda3e9a
When adding a stream with stream reconf, the new stream firstly is in
CLOSED state but new out chunks can still be enqueued. Then once gets
the confirmation from the peer, the state will change to OPEN.
However, if the peer denies, it needs to roll back the stream. But when
doing that, it only sets the stream outcnt back, and the chunks already
in the new stream don't get purged. It caused these chunks can still be
dequeued in sctp_outq_dequeue_data().
As its stream is still in CLOSE, the chunk will be enqueued to the head
again by sctp_outq_head_data(). This chunk will never be sent out, and
the chunks after it can never be dequeued. The assoc will be 'hung' in
a dead loop of sending this chunk.
To fix it, this patch is to purge these chunks already in the new
stream by calling sctp_stream_shrink_out() when failing to do the
addstream reconf.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
