net: sctp: stop spamming klog with rfc6458, 5.3.2. deprecation warnings
Back then when we added support for SCTP_SNDINFO/SCTP_RCVINFO from
RFC6458 5.3.4/5.3.5, we decided to add a deprecation warning for the
(as per RFC deprecated) SCTP_SNDRCV via commit bbbea41d5e53 ("net:
sctp: deprecate rfc6458, 5.3.2. SCTP_SNDRCV support"), see [1].
Imho, it was not a good idea, and we should just revert that message
for a couple of reasons:
1) It's uapi and therefore set in stone forever.
2) To be able to run on older and newer kernels, an SCTP application
would need to probe for both, SCTP_SNDRCV, but also SCTP_SNDINFO/
SCTP_RCVINFO support, so that on older kernels, it can make use
of SCTP_SNDRCV, and on newer kernels SCTP_SNDINFO/SCTP_RCVINFO.
In my (limited) experience, a lot of SCTP appliances are migrating
to newer kernels only ve(ee)ry slowly.
3) Some people don't have the chance to change their applications,
f.e. due to proprietary legacy stuff. So, they'll hit this warning
in fast path and are stuck with older kernels.
But i.e. due to point 1) I really fail to see the benefit of a warning.
So just revert that for now, the issue was reported up Jamal.
