Hi Vlad and Neil, I found a sk_ack_backlog wrap-around problem during handling received COOKIE_ECHO.
Consider the scenario: For a TCP-style socket, while processing the COOKIE_ECHO chunk in sctp_sf_do_5_1D_ce(), after it has passed a series of sanity check, a new association would be created in sctp_unpack_cookie(), but afterwards, some processing maybe failed, and sctp_association_free() will be called to free the previously allocated association, in sctp_association_free(), sk_ack_backlog value is decremented for this socket, since the initial value for sk_ack_backlog is 0, after the decrement, it will be 65535, a wrap-around problem happens, and if we want to establish new associations afterward in the same socket, ABORT would be triggered since sctp deem the accept queue as full. Do you have any idea to fix such kind of issue? Thanks a lot!
