Subject: [PATCH 1/3] sctp: fix association hangs due to reassembly/ordering
 logic

From: Lee A. Roberts <lee.roberts@...com>

Resolve SCTP association hangs observed during SCTP stress
testing.  Observable symptoms include communications hangs
with data being held in the association lobby (ordering)
queue.  Close examination of reassembly/ordering queues shows
duplicated packets.

In sctp_tsnmap_grow(), correct off-by-one errors when copying
and resizing the tsnmap.  If max_tsn_seen is in the LSB of the
word, this bit can be lost, causing the corresponding packet
to be transmitted again and to be entered as a duplicate into
the SCTP reassembly/ordering queues.

Patch applies to linux-3.8 kernel.
