You're right, it explains another call trace happened once in our testing.

The way to changing inet_accept() will also have to change all protocols'
.accept(). Given that this issue is only triggered in a very small moment,
can we just silently discard this asconf chunk if sk->sk_socket is NULL?
and let peer's T4-timer retransmit it.

@@ -3709,6 +3709,9 @@ enum sctp_disposition sctp_sf_do_asconf(struct net *net,
        struct sctp_addiphdr *hdr;
        __u32 serial;

+       if (asoc->base.sk->sk_socket)
+               return sctp_sf_pdiscard(net, ep, asoc, type, arg, commands);
+

Note we can't do this in sctp_process_asconf_param(), as an asconf_ack
will be sent back.
