net: sctp: fix ABI mismatch through sctp_assoc_to_state helper
Since SCTP day 1, that is, 19b55a2af145 ("Initial commit") from lksctp tree, the official <netinet/sctp.h> header carries a copy of enum sctp_sstat_state that looks like (compared to the current in-kernel enumeration): User definition: Kernel definition: enum sctp_sstat_state { typedef enum { SCTP_EMPTY = 0, <removed> SCTP_CLOSED = 1, SCTP_STATE_CLOSED = 0, SCTP_COOKIE_WAIT = 2, SCTP_STATE_COOKIE_WAIT = 1, SCTP_COOKIE_ECHOED = 3, SCTP_STATE_COOKIE_ECHOED = 2, SCTP_ESTABLISHED = 4, SCTP_STATE_ESTABLISHED = 3, SCTP_SHUTDOWN_PENDING = 5, SCTP_STATE_SHUTDOWN_PENDING = 4, SCTP_SHUTDOWN_SENT = 6, SCTP_STATE_SHUTDOWN_SENT = 5, SCTP_SHUTDOWN_RECEIVED = 7, SCTP_STATE_SHUTDOWN_RECEIVED = 6, SCTP_SHUTDOWN_ACK_SENT = 8, SCTP_STATE_SHUTDOWN_ACK_SENT = 7, }; } sctp_state_t; This header was later on also placed into the uapi, so that user space programs can compile without having <netinet/sctp.h>, but the shipped with <linux/sctp.h> instead. While RFC6458 under 8.2.1.Association Status (SCTP_STATUS) says that sstat_state can range from SCTP_CLOSED to SCTP_SHUTDOWN_ACK_SENT, we nevertheless have a what it appears to be dummy SCTP_EMPTY state from the very early days. While it seems to do just nothing, commit 0b8f9e25 ("sctp: remove completely unsed EMPTY state") did the right thing and removed this dead code. That however, causes an off-by-one when the user asks the SCTP stack via SCTP_STATUS API and checks for the current socket state thus yielding possibly undefined behaviour in applications as they expect the kernel to tell the right thing. The enumeration had to be changed however as based on the current socket state, we access a function pointer lookup-table through this. Therefore, I think the best way to deal with this is just to add a helper function sctp_assoc_to_state() to encapsulate the off-by-one quirk.
