RFC 4960: Section 9.2
The sender of the SHUTDOWN MAY also start an overall guard timer
'T5-shutdown-guard' to bound the overall time for the shutdown
sequence.  At the expiration of this timer, the sender SHOULD abort
the association by sending an ABORT chunk.  If the 'T5-shutdown-
guard' timer is used, it SHOULD be set to the recommended value of 5
times 'RTO.Max'.

The timer 'T5-shutdown-guard' is used to counter the overall time
for shutdown sequence, and it's start by the sender of the SHUTDOWN.
So timer 'T5-shutdown-guard' should be start when we send the first
SHUTDOWN chunk and enter the SHUTDOWN-SENT state, not start when we
receipt of the SHUTDOWN primitive and enter SHUTDOWN-PENDING state.

If 'T5-shutdown-guard' timer is start at SHUTDOWN-PENDING state, the
association may be ABORT while data is still transmitting.

Hi Wei

You missed the autoclose case which would have been very easy to test
had you run the regressions test from the lksctp-tools package.

In the future please run those tests and feel free to add tests there
to enhance our test matrix.

I'll fix it up this time.  Thanks
Sorry for my stupid mistake. I'll do the regressions test next time when I make patchs.

I had a look at all the place used SCTP_EVENT_TIMEOUT_T5_SHUTDOWN_GUARD, may be following lines in sctp_sf_shutdown_pending_abort() and sctp_sf_shutdown_pending_prm_abort() become useless after this patch:(T5 time is invalid and not start in SHUTDOWN_PENDING state)
------------------------------------------------------
2080         sctp_add_cmd_sf(commands, SCTP_CMD_TIMER_STOP,
2081                         SCTP_TO(SCTP_EVENT_TIMEOUT_T5_SHUTDOWN_GUARD));
------------------------------------------------------
So, If you want to fix this patch, you may also need to delete those useless codes.

Thanks.
