1.0.16 sctp_connectx() in 32 bit

[Dong Liu <dliu.cn@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I think I found a problem in the new sctp_connectx() code.

in sctp_connectx3() there are,

    struct sctp_getaddrs_old param;
    socklen_t opt_len = sizeof(param);
    status getsockopt(fd, SOL_SCTP, SCTP_SOCKOPT_CONNECTX3, &param, 
&opt_len);

And in kernel net/sctp/socket.c sctp_getsockopt_connectx3(), there is a 
check,

            if (len < sizeof(param)) |
                return 
-EINVAL;                                                         |

But struct sctp_getaddrs_old contains a pointer . When compiled in 32 
bit or 64 bit, the size of sctp_getaddrs_old is different. So if the 
kernel is in 64 bit mode but the libsctp is in 32 bit mode. 
sctp_connectx() will fail with EINVAL.

Thanks,

Dong
