Hi all,

I found that In 3.x kernel, the sctp states are defined differently
between kernel and uapi header. This makes our application fails to
work.

Is that a mismatch or am I missing something?

You are correct, and that's not good ... can you try out the below
kernel patch?

Note, the problem is that we cannot just redefine the sctp_state_t
enum back to as it was as it's accessing a function pointer lookup
table, so I think it's better to just add this offset for user space
now. It's read-only anyway.
