Subject: [PATCH 2/4] sctp: fix association hangs due to reneging packets
 below the cumulative TSN ACK point

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 reassembly and/or lobby
(ordering) queues.  Close examination of reassembly queue shows
missing packets.

In sctp_ulpq_renege_list(), do not renege packets below the
cumulative TSN ACK point.

Patch applies to linux-3.8 kernel.
