9abed245a6 Fix memory leak in discard case of sctp_sf_abort_violation()
In net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c::sctp_sf_abort_violation() we may leak
the storage allocated for 'abort' by returning from the function
without using or freeing it. This happens in case
"sctp_auth_recv_cid(SCTP_CID_ABORT, asoc)" is true and we jump to
the 'discard' label.
Spotted by the Coverity checker.

The simple fix is to simply move the creation of the "abort chunk"
to after the possible jump to the 'discard' label. This way we don't
even have to allocate the memory at all in the problem case.

b6157d8e03 SCTP: Fix difference cases of retransmit.
Commit d0ce92910b broke several retransmit
cases including fast retransmit.  The reason is that we should
only delay by rto while doing retranmists as a result of a timeout.
Retransmit as a result of path mtu discover, fast retransmit, or
other evernts that should trigger immidiate retransmissions got broken.

Also, since rto is doubled prior to marking of packets elegable for
retransmission, we never marked correct chunks anyway.

The fix is provide a reason for a given retransmission so that we
can mark chunks appropriately and to save the old rto value to do
comparisons against.

All regressions tests passed with this code.

4d93df0abd [SCTP]: Rewrite of sctp buffer management code
This patch introduces autotuning to the sctp buffer management code
similar to the TCP.  The buffer space can be grown if the advertised
receive window still has room.  This might happen if small message
sizes are used, which is common in telecom environmens.
New tunables are introduced that provide limits to buffer growth
and memory pressure is entered if to much buffer spaces is used.

6f4c618ddb SCTP : Add paramters validity check for ASCONF chunk
If ADDIP is enabled, when an ASCONF chunk is received with ASCONF
paramter length set to zero, this will cause infinite loop.
By the way, if an malformed ASCONF chunk is received, will cause
processing to access memory without verifying.

This is because of not check the validity of parameters in ASCONF chunk.
This patch fixed this.

When SCTP client received an INIT ACK chunk with missing mandatory

This is because before we accept this INIT ACK chunk, we do not know

00f1c2df2a SCTP: Fix to encode PROTOCOL VIOLATION error cause correctly
PROTOCOL VIOLATION error cause in ABORT is bad encode when make abort
chunk. When SCTP encode ABORT chunk with PROTOCOL VIOLATION error cause,
it just add the error messages to PROTOCOL VIOLATION error cause, the
rest four bytes(struct sctp_paramhdr) is just add to the chunk, not
change the length of error cause. This cause the ABORT chunk to be a bad
format. The chunk is like this:

ABORT chunk
  Chunk type: ABORT (6)
  Chunk flags: 0x00
  Chunk length: 72 (*1)
  Protocol violation cause
    Cause code: Protocol violation (0x000d)
    Cause length: 62 (*2)
    Cause information: 5468652063756D756C61746976652074736E2061636B2062...
    Cause padding: 0000
[Needless] 00030010
Chunk Length(*1) = 72 but Cause length(*2) only 62, not include the
extend 4 bytes.
((72 - sizeof(chunk_hdr)) = 68) != (62 +3) / 4 * 4

07d9396771 [SCTP]: Set assoc_id correctly during INIT collision.
During the INIT/COOKIE-ACK collision cases, it's possible to get
into a situation where the association id is not yet set at the time
of the user event generation.  As a result, user events have an
association id set to 0 which will confuse applications.

This happens if we hit case B of duplicate cookie processing.
In the particular example found and provided by Oscar Isaula
<Oscar.Isaula@motorola.com>, flow looks like this:
A				B
---- INIT------->  (lost)
	    <---------INIT------
---- INIT-ACK--->
	    <------ Cookie ECHO

When the Cookie Echo is received, we end up trying to update the
association that was created on A as a result of the (lost) INIT,
but that association doesn't have the ID set yet.

Later in the series we'll eliminate uses of host-endian variants

Other embedded host-endian sctp_addr will be easier to switch

c164a9ba0a Fix sctp privilege elevation (CVE-2006-3745)
sctp_make_abort_user() now takes the msg_len along with the msg
so that we don't have to recalculate the bytes in iovec.
It also uses memcpy_fromiovec() so that we don't go beyond the
length allocated.

It is good to have this fix even if verify_iovec() is fixed to
return error on overflow.

9faa730f1c [SCTP]: Set chunk->data_accepted only if we are going to accept it.
Currently there is a code path in sctp_eat_data() where it is possible
to set this flag even when we are dropping this chunk.

d5b9f4c083 [SCTP]: Fix persistent slowdown in sctp when a gap ack consumes rx buffer.
In the event that our entire receive buffer is full with a series of
chunks that represent a single gap-ack, and then we accept a chunk
(or chunks) that fill in the gap between the ctsn and the first gap,
we renege chunks from the end of the buffer, which effectively does
nothing but move our gap to the end of our received tsn stream. This
does little but move our missing tsns down stream a little, and, if the
sender is sending sufficiently large retransmit frames, the result is a
perpetual slowdown which can never be recovered from, since the only
chunk that can be accepted to allow progress in the tsn stream necessitates
that a new gap be created to make room for it. This leads to a constant
need for retransmits, and subsequent receiver stalls. The fix I've come up
with is to deliver the frame without reneging if we have a full receive
buffer and the receiving sockets sk_receive_queue is empty(indicating that
the receive buffer is being blocked by a missing tsn).

a601266e4f [SCTP]: Validate the parameter length in HB-ACK chunk.
If SCTP receives a badly formatted HB-ACK chunk, it is possible
that we may access invalid memory and potentially have a buffer
overflow.  We should really make sure that the chunk format is
what we expect, before attempting to touch the data.
