Hi, Aaron

1)
I talked with Marcelo about this one.
He said it might be related with cacheline.  the  new field distroyed
the prior cacheline. So on top of commit 826d253d57b1, pls only add
+       unsigned long prsctp_param;

to the end of struct sctp_chunk, then try.


2)
if 1) still doesn't work, I may think about to drop prsctp_param in
sctp_chunk, and reuse msg->expire_at. as for sent_count, I will
put it to the mem hole of sctp_chunk.

So pls also try the attachment patch,  on top of commit a6c2f792873a

Thanks.
