+Origin: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git/commit?id=dfcb9f4f99f1e9a49e43398a7bfbf56927544af1

+
+commit 2dcab5984841 ("sctp: avoid BUG_ON on sctp_wait_for_sndbuf")
+attempted to avoid a BUG_ON call when the association being used for a
+sendmsg() is blocked waiting for more sndbuf and another thread did a
+peeloff operation on such asoc, moving it to another socket.
+
+As Ben Hutchings noticed, then in such case it would return without
+locking back the socket and would cause two unlocks in a row.
+
+Further analysis also revealed that it could allow a double free if the
+application managed to peeloff the asoc that is created during the
+sendmsg call, because then sctp_sendmsg() would try to free the asoc
+that was created only for that call.
+
+This patch takes another approach. It will deny the peeloff operation
+if there is a thread sleeping on the asoc, so this situation doesn't
+exist anymore. This avoids the issues described above and also honors
+the syscalls that are already being handled (it can be multiple sendmsg
+calls).
+
+Joint work with Xin Long.
+
