"""
 The initial SCTP client association would
need to take it's label from the parent process so perhaps that is the
right answer for all SCTP client associations[2].

[2] I'm guessing the client associations might also want to follow the
setsockcreatecon(3) behavior, see selinux_sockcreate_sid() for more
info.
"""
What I got is to take it's label from the parent process, which means
we get it from socket_sockcreate_sid(), not directly copy from parent
socket. It seems I misunderstood that, Sorry, maybe we should just
use the v1 patchset.

Right, that's what it currently does in this patchset, no *socket* sid
is changed, and only *socket*'s peer label.

{
        struct sk_security_struct *sksec = asoc->base.sk->sk_security;

        selinux_inet_conn_established(asoc->base.sk, skb);
        asoc->peer_secid = sksec->peer_sid;
        asoc->secid = SECSID_WILD;
}

here, SCTP is one-to-many socket, and it means one socket can have
multiple associations or connections, so for sksec->sid in one socket
it can only save the latest cid, if we peel off an old one, it will get the
wrong cid on server side.
