sctp: handle association restarts when the socket is closed.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Currently association restarts do not take into consideration the
state of the socket.  When a restart happens, the current assocation
simply transitions into established state.  This creates a condition
where a remote system, through a the restart procedure, may create a
local association that is no way reachable by user.  The conditions
to trigger this are as follows:
  1) Remote does not acknoledge some data causing data to remain
     outstanding.
  2) Local application calls close() on the socket.  Since data
     is still outstanding, the association is placed in SHUTDOWN_PENDING
     state.  However, the socket is closed.
  3) The remote tries to create a new association, triggering a restart
     on the local system.  The association moves from SHUTDOWN_PENDING
     to ESTABLISHED.  At this point, it is no longer reachable by
     any socket on the local system.

This patch addresses the above situation by moving the newly ESTABLISHED
association into SHUTDOWN-SENT state and bundling a SHUTDOWN after
the COOKIE-ACK chunk.  This way, the restarted associate immidiately
enters the shutdown procedure and forces the termination of the
unreachable association.
