Hi,

I have a small consistency question. In sctp_packet_transmit of
net/sctp/output.c some parts of the method check if the asoc is valid, other
assume that there is one.

I have some questions regarding that.

The sctp_packet has a pointer to sctp_transport. Does every sctp_transport
hold a valid pointer to sctp_association? Does it hold a valid pointer if
authentication (sctp_auth) is used? Does it hold a valid pointer if chunks
were seen?

regards
