commit2dcab59848("sctp: avoid BUG_ON on sctp_wait_for_sndbuf") attempted to avoid a BUG_ON call when the association being used for a sendmsg() is blocked waiting for more sndbuf and another thread did a peeloff operation on such asoc, moving it to another socket. As Ben Hutchings noticed, then in such case it would return without locking back the socket and would cause two unlocks in a row. Further analysis also revealed that it could allow a double free if the application managed to peeloff the asoc that is created during the sendmsg call, because then sctp_sendmsg() would try to free the asoc that was created only for that call. This patch takes another approach. It will deny the peeloff operation if there is a thread sleeping on the asoc, so this situation doesn't exist anymore. This avoids the issues described above and also honors the syscalls that are already being handled (it can be multiple sendmsg calls). Joint work with Xin Long.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
