Merge branch 'sctp-rfc7496-support'
Xin Long says: ==================== sctp: implement rfc7496 in sctp This patchset implements "Additional Policies for the Partially Reliable Stream Control Transmission Protocol Extension" described on RFC7496. The Partially Reliable SCTP (PR-SCTP) extension defined in [RFC3758] provides a generic method for senders to abandon user messages. The decision to abandon a user message is sender side only, and the exact condition is called a "PR-SCTP policy". This patchset implements 3 policies: 1. Timed Reliability: This allows the sender to specify a timeout for a user message after which the SCTP stack abandons the user message. 2. Limited Retransmission Policy: Allows limitation of the number of retransmissions. 3. Priority Policy: Allows removal of lower-priority messages if space for higher-priority messages is needed in the send buffer. Patch 1-3 add some sockopts in sctp to set/get pr_sctp policy status. Patch 4-6 implement these 3 policies one by one. ==================== Acked-by: Marcelo Ricardo Leitner <marcelo.leitner@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
