Maybe those > things should be done in two patch sets. I have thought about going the other direction. Just make it one patch and update the whole logic atomically in the git tree. So we won't have any partial logic updates in the tree. Please also rebase your series onto net from today, because Daniel's patch regarding updating sk->sk_err in sctp went in yesterday. > > Moreover, just looking at the SCTP part (sctp_err_lookup() function) ... > > > > /* RFC 4960, Appendix C.

We already accept redirects (and also change routes) for sctp connections where the redirect packet does not contain any tag. Also it is debatable if redirects are counted as icmp packets or merely just belong to the kind of neighbour discovery packets which just use icmp framing (and so the sctp rfc would not say anything about them). As Daniel already said, it would be better to update the commit message to clarify the reasons why this is ok (with some pointers to RFCs).
