I was initially under the impression that with Kent's repost, the radixtree
(which is what I think you meant by rhashtables) updates would be merged
imminently, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I'd really like to know
what the hold up there is, as that patch seems to have been stalled for
months. I hate the notion of breaking the radixtree patch, but if it's
status is indeterminate, then, yes, we probably need to go with xins patch
for the short term, and let Kent fix it up in due course.

Now when using stream reconfig to add out streams, stream->out

So without stream->out_curr updated, next time when trying to
send from stream->out_curr stream, a panic would be caused.
This patch is to check and update stream->out_curr when
allocating stream_out.
v1->v2:
- define fa_index() to get elem index from stream->out_curr.

We are sort of mixing things up here. We have a bug on SCTP stack that
triggers panics. As good practices recommends, the code should be as
generic as possible and the SCTP-only was dropped in favor of a more
generic one, fixing rhashtables instead. Okay. But then we discovered
rhashtables are going away and we are now waiting on a restructing
to fix the panic. That's not good, especially because it cannot and
should not be backported into -stable trees.
That said, we should not wait for the restructuring to _implicitly_
fix the bug. We should pursuit both fixes here:
- Apply this patch, to fix SCTP stack and allow it to be easily
backportable.
- Apply the generic fix, which is the restructuring, whenever it
actually lands.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Marcelo
