Would that save all the config trouble?
Yes, it would fix it as Florian has noted, but at the cost of
silently modifying
what the default hmac config vaule is. If you've expressly disabled
SCTP_COOKIE_HMAC_MD5, and then blindly take the default choice in the
SCTP_DEFAULT_COOKIE selection option (the default default as it
were), using the
approach your suggesting, then that will silently enable
SCTP_COOKIE_HMAC_MD5
again, which may not be expected by users. If you expressly have a
config
option disabled in an old configuration, we should leave it there.
GACK. Just reproduced this and I really don't like this infinite loop
of choice prompts. That's a horrible bug and we need to fix this.
I don't think overriding the value is that big of a deal, especially
considering that this is exactly what 'make menuconfig' and other
graphical configs will do.
If I start with:
CONFIG_IP_SCTP=m
CONFIG_NET_SCTPPROBE=m
# CONFIG_SCTP_DBG_MSG is not set
# CONFIG_SCTP_DBG_OBJCNT is not set
# CONFIG_SCTP_HMAC_NONE is not set
CONFIG_SCTP_HMAC_SHA1=y
# CONFIG_SCTP_HMAC_MD5 is not set
then run:
yes "" | make oldconfig
I get an infinite loop.
If I run "make menuconfig", I get:
CONFIG_IP_SCTP=m
CONFIG_NET_SCTPPROBE=m
# CONFIG_SCTP_DBG_MSG is not set
# CONFIG_SCTP_DBG_OBJCNT is not set
CONFIG_SCTP_DEFAULT_COOKIE_HMAC_MD5=y
# CONFIG_SCTP_DEFAULT_COOKIE_HMAC_SHA1 is not set
# CONFIG_SCTP_DEFAULT_COOKIE_HMAC_NONE is not set
CONFIG_SCTP_COOKIE_HMAC_MD5=y
# CONFIG_SCTP_COOKIE_HMAC_SHA1 is not set
Note, that SHA1 is now overridden with MD5.
If I change the value of the default choice in Kconfig, the behavior
between oldconfig and menuconfig is the same.
Right, the issue is as simple as there is no default *valid* config
symbol being proposed. In any case Neil's patch changes both config
symbol names such that they are non-existent when transitionning from a
pre-3.8-rc config and a 3.8-rc config. The following patch fixes this
for me:

Subject: [PATCH] sctp: fix typo in default SCTP cookie choice
Commit 0d0863b0 (sctp: Change defaults on cookie hmac selection)
introduced a choice configuration option to select the default SCTP
cookie hashing algorithm, a typo was introduced for the default choice.
This is an issue when running make oldconfig because an explicit choice
number must be entered since no default is available. This patch fixes
the typo, thus providing a valid default choice.
