I believe the important part is that sctp_do_peeloff() eventually
calls security_sctp_sk_clone() via way of sctp_copy_sock().  Assuming
we have security_sctp_sk_clone() working properly I would expect that
the new socket would be setup properly when sctp_do_peeloff() returns
on success.

... and yes, that SECSID_WILD approach is *not* something we want to do.

In my mind, selinux_sctp_sk_clone() should end up looking like this.

  void selinux_sctp_sk_clone(asoc, sk, newsk)
  {
    struct sk_security_struct sksec = sk->sk_security;
    struct sk_security_struct newsksec = newsk->sk_security;

    if (!selinux_policycap_extsockclass())
        return selinux_sk_clone_security(sk, newsk);

    newsksec->sid = sksec->secid;
    newsksec->peer_sid = asoc->peer_secid;
    newsksec->sclass = sksec->sclass;
    selinux_netlbl_sctp_sk_clone(sk, newsk);
  }

Also, to be clear, the "assoc->secid = SECSID_WILD;" line should be
removed from selinux_sctp_assoc_established().  If we are treating
SCTP associations similarly to TCP connections, the association's
label/secid should be set once and not changed during the life of the
association.

While I tend to try to avoid reverts as much as possible, I think the
right thing to do is to get these patches reverted out of DaveM's tree
while we continue to sort this out and do all of the necessary testing
and verification.

Xin Long, please work with the netdev folks to get your patchset
reverted and then respin this patchset using the feedback provided.
