    Daniel Borkmann authored
    This reverts commit ef2820a7 ("net: sctp: Fix a_rwnd/rwnd management
    to reflect real state of the receiver's buffer") as it introduced a
    serious performance regression on SCTP over IPv4 and IPv6, though a not
    as dramatic on the latter. Measurements are on 10Gbit/s with ixgbe NICs.
    
    Current state:

    With the reverted patch applied, the SCTP/IPv4 performance is back
    to normal on latest upstream for IPv4 and IPv6 and has same throughput
    as 3.4.2 test kernel, steady and interval reports are smooth again.
