Subject: [PATCH 3/4] sctp: fix association hangs due to errors when reneging
 events from the ordering queue

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(), events being reneged from the
ordering queue may correspond to multiple TSNs.  Identify
all affected packets; sum freed space and renege from the
tsnmap.

Patch applies to linux-3.8 kernel.
