Hey Lee, did you try running lksctp-tools [1] func tests with this patch?
I'm getting failures here.

[root@vm1 func_tests]# make v4test
./test_assoc_abort
test_assoc_abort.c  1 PASS : ABORT an association using SCTP_ABORT
test_assoc_abort passes

./test_assoc_shutdown
test_assoc_shutdown.c  1 BROK : bind: Address already in use
DUMP_CORE ../../src/testlib/sctputil.h: 145
/bin/sh: line 1:  3727 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) ./$a
test_assoc_shutdown fails
make: *** [Makefile:1648: v4test] Error 1

I didn't check it closely but it would seem that the ep is beind held
forever. If I simply retry after a few seconds, it's still there (now the 1st
test fails):

[root@vm1 func_tests]# make v4test
./test_assoc_abort
test_assoc_abort.c  1 BROK : bind: Address already in use
DUMP_CORE ../../src/testlib/sctputil.h: 145
/bin/sh: line 1:  3751 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) ./$a
test_assoc_abort fails
