The patch titled
Subject: net: fix iteration for sctp transport seq_files
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
net-fix-iteration-for-sctp-transport-seq_files.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx>
Subject: net: fix iteration for sctp transport seq_files
The sctp transport seq_file iterators take a reference to the transport in
the ->start and ->next functions and releases the reference in the ->show
function. The preferred handling for such resources is to release them in
the subsequent ->next or ->stop function call.
Since Commit 1f4aace60b0e ("fs/seq_file.c: simplify seq_file iteration
code and interface") there is no guarantee that ->show will be called
after ->next, so this function can now leak references.
So move the sctp_transport_put() call to ->next and ->stop.
