timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree
over and remove the historical wrapper inlines.

Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary.

<title>sctp: handle invalid error codes without calling BUG()</title>

<content type='text'>
The sctp_sf_eat_auth() function is supposed to return enum sctp_disposition
values but if the call to sctp_ulpevent_make_authkey() fails, it returns
-ENOMEM.

This results in calling BUG() inside the sctp_side_effects() function.
Calling BUG() is an over reaction and not helpful.  Call WARN_ON_ONCE()
instead.

This code predates git.

This patch deletes the flexible-array variable[] from the structure
sctp_sackhdr and sctp_errhdr to avoid some sparse warnings:

<title>sctp: check asoc strreset_chunk in sctp_generate_reconf_event</title>

<id>urn:sha1:165e3e17fe8fe6a8aab319bc6e631a2e23b9a857</id>
<content type='text'>
A null pointer reference issue can be triggered when the response of a
stream reconf request arrives after the timer is triggered, such as:

  send Incoming SSN Reset Request ---&gt;
  CPU0:
   reconf timer is triggered,
   go to the handler code before hold sk lock
                            &lt;--- reply with Outgoing SSN Reset Request
  CPU1:
   process Outgoing SSN Reset Request,
   and set asoc-&gt;strreset_chunk to NULL
  CPU0:
   continue the handler code, hold sk lock,
   and try to hold asoc-&gt;strreset_chunk, crash!

In Ying Xu's testing, the call trace is:

  [ ] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000010
  [ ] RIP: 0010:sctp_chunk_hold+0xe/0x40 [sctp]

  [ ]  sctp_generate_reconf_event+0xbd/0xe0 [sctp]
  [ ]  call_timer_fn+0x26/0x130

This patch is to fix it by returning from the timer handler if asoc
strreset_chunk is already set to NULL.

<title>sctp: add the probe timer in transport for PLPMTUD</title>

<id>urn:sha1:92548ec2f1f92d0c0b60ce59592b645571672568</id>
<content type='text'>
There are 3 timers described in rfc8899#section-5.1.1:

  PROBE_TIMER, PMTU_RAISE_TIMER, CONFIRMATION_TIMER

This patches adds a 'probe_timer' in transport, and it works as either
PROBE_TIMER or PMTU_RAISE_TIMER. At most time, it works as PROBE_TIMER
and expires every a 'probe_interval' time to send the HB probe packet.
When transport pl enters COMPLETE state, it works as PMTU_RAISE_TIMER
and expires in 'probe_interval * 30' time to go back to SEARCH state
and do searching again.

SCTP HB is an acknowledged packet, CONFIRMATION_TIMER is not needed.

The timer will start when transport pl enters BASE state and stop
when it enters DISABLED state.

The same thing should be done for sctp_sf_do_dupcook_b().
Meanwhile, SCTP_CMD_UPDATE_ASSOC cmd can be removed.

v1-&gt;v2:
  - Fix the return value in sctp_sf_do_assoc_update().

A call trace was found in Hangbin's Codenomicon testing with debug kernel:

  [ 2615.981988] ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object type: timer_list hint: sctp_generate_proto_unreach_event+0x0/0x3a0 [sctp]

  [ 2616.269138]  apic_timer_interrupt+0xf/0x20
  [ 2616.273711]  &lt;/IRQ&gt;

This is because it holds asoc when transport-&gt;proto_unreach_timer starts
and puts asoc when the timer stops, and without holding transport the
transport could be freed when the timer is still running.

So fix it by holding/putting transport instead for proto_unreach_timer
in transport, just like other timers in transport.

v1-&gt;v2:
  - Also use sctp_transport_put() for the "out_unlock:" path in
    sctp_generate_proto_unreach_event(), as Marcelo noticed.

Commit 978aa0474115 ("sctp: fix some type cast warnings introduced since
very beginning")' broke err reading from sctp_arg, because it reads the
value as 32-bit integer, although the value is stored as 16-bit integer.
Later this value is passed to the userspace in 16-bit variable, thus the
user always gets 0 on big-endian platforms. Fix it by reading the __u16
field of sctp_arg union, as reading err field would produce a sparse
warning.
