Subject: Re: [PATCH] sctp: if backlog is 0, listening shall not be
 deactivated.

> However SCTP API explicitly states that when the backlog is 0, listening is
> disabled.  Here is an excerpt from the draft describing this:

POSIX is an established standard, SCTP is a draft proposal. POSIX should
win. The SCTP developers need to bring their draft API into alignment with
POSIX.

They need to fix their draft to use a sockopt or similar to
enable/disable listening.
