With support of SCTP_SNDINFO/SCTP_RCVINFO as described in RFC6458, 5.3.4/5.3.5, we can now deprecate SCTP_SNDRCV. The RFC already declares it as deprecated: This structure mixes the send and receive path. SCTP_SNDINFO (described in Section 5.3.4) and SCTP_RCVINFO (described in Section 5.3.5) split this information. These structures should be used, when possible, since SCTP_SNDRCV is deprecated. So whenever a user tries to subscribe to sctp_data_io_event via setsockopt(2) which triggers inclusion of SCTP_SNDRCV cmsg_type, issue a warning in the log.
