netfilter: conntrack: sctp: use distinct states for new SCTP connections
The netlink notifications triggered by the INIT and INIT_ACK chunks for a tracked SCTP association do not include protocol information for the corresponding connection - SCTP state and verification tags for the original and reply direction are missing. Since the connection tracking implementation allows user space programs to receive notifications about a connection and then create a new connection based on the values received in a notification, it makes sense that INIT and INIT_ACK notifications should contain the SCTP state and verification tags available at the time when a notification is sent. The missing verification tags cause a newly created netfilter connection to fail to verify the tags of SCTP packets when this connection has been created from the values previously received in an INIT or INIT_ACK notification. A PROTOINFO event is cached in sctp_packet() when the state of a connection changes. The CLOSED and COOKIE_WAIT state will be used for connections that have seen an INIT and INIT_ACK chunk, respectively. The distinct states will cause a connection state change in sctp_packet().
