From: lucien <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx>
commit f648f807f61e64d247d26611e34cc97e4ed03401 upstream.
Commit f8d960524328 ("sctp: Enforce retransmission limit during shutdown")
fixed a problem with excessive retransmissions in the SHUTDOWN_PENDING by not
resetting the association overall_error_count. This allowed the association
to better enforce assoc.max_retrans limit.
However, the same issue still exists when the association is in SHUTDOWN_RECEIVED
state. In this state, HB-ACKs will continue to reset the overall_error_count
for the association would extend the lifetime of association unnecessarily.
This patch solves this by resetting the overall_error_count whenever the current
state is small then SCTP_STATE_SHUTDOWN_PENDING. As a small side-effect, we
end up also handling SCTP_STATE_SHUTDOWN_ACK_SENT and SCTP_STATE_SHUTDOWN_SENT
states, but they are not really impacted because we disable Heartbeats in those
states.
