Hello Neil,

Recently I posted commit 3c68198e75 which made selection of the cookie hmac
algorithm selectable. This is all well and good, but Linus noted that it
changes the default config:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=135536629004808&w=2
I've modified the sctp Kconfig file to reflect the recommended way of making
this choice, using the thermal driver example specified, and brought the
defaults back into line with the way they were prior to my origional patch
Also, on Linus' suggestion, re-adding ability to select default 'none' hmac
algorithm, so we don't needlessly bloat the kernel by forcing a non-none
default. This also led me to note that we won't honor the default none
condition properly because of how sctp_net_init is encoded. Fix that up as
well.
Tested by myself (allbeit fairly quickly). All configuration combinations seems
to work soundly.

Should not this be SCTP_DEFAULT_COOKIE_HMAC_MD5? I just tried to
update to 3.8-rc2, and I usually build my kernel-headers with:
yes '' | ARCH=foo make oldconfig
and this just kept asking me for this config symbol because none
could be provided.

No, the config mechanism is setup to offer the user the ability to choose a
default cookie hmac, alg, then optionally select any other hmac algs you would
like to be made available (in the event you want to change the default at run
time). When you select the default, it eables (via the select directive), the
corresponding SCTP_COOKIE_HMAC_* config option, which is used in the build, and
then prompts for the remaining values.

Actually, I think it should be as Florian suggests. The default value
of the choice should be one of the values defined as part of the choice
(the SCTP_DEFAULT_COOKIE_*). Turning on appropriate default would turn
on appropriate cookie config (SCTP_COOKIE_HMAC_*).
Would that save all the config trouble?
