[PATCH] sctp: Fix error handling for switch statement case in the function sctp_cmd_interprete

Show all headers | View raw

This fixes error handling for the switch statement case
SCTP_CMD_SEND_PKT by making the error value of the call
to sctp_packet_transmit equal the variable error due to
this function being able to fail with a error code. In
addition allow the call to sctp_ootb_pkt_free afterwards
to free up the no longer in use sctp packet even if the
call to the function sctp_packet_transmit fails in order
to avoid a memory leak here for not freeing the sctp
