This one may sher some light on that other socket leak one, because the
association shouldn't have been freed at that point.
Now, how it managed to unbalance that refcnt, hmm...

The free may be a result of implicit close when the program ends.  If the thread
is still waiting for connect to finish when the program ends, we may end up
in a situation when the association has been freed, but the ref held by wait_for_connect
prevents the destruction.  When wait_for_connect finishes in puts the ref and
causes the destruction.

What I am guessing is happing is the wait_for_connect doesn't catch the error condition
correctly and thus __sctp_connect() doesn't think there was and error and references
the assoc which was just destroyed.

That could be it, yes.

Perfect. There is another thing that this program exploits that, in this
case, leads to this. It's creating a tcp-style socket, calling connect()
on it in one thread and sendto() to a different peer in the main thread
probably while the connect is still in progress. Seems that can lead to
one having two assocs on a tcp-style socket, because we don't check if
we the socket has associations but if it's in established state. I don't
see the checks on sctp_sendmsg() protecting from this case.

128) = 112 <0.001601>
 - sendto() to an IPv6 addr while connect() is still running.
 - socket is not in established state.
 - assoc is not a peeled off, as we can't find a transport using this
 tuple
 - so this new assoc ends up being allowed under a tcp-style socket
 - nobody is listening on 13276. An ABORT is sent back

2512  14:55:14 <... connect resumed> )  = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection
refused) <4.003595>
 - And suddenly the connect() is confused and thinks the error was for
 it, exact after sendto() auto-association noticed the error.
 - Funny thing is, as sendto() thinks it succeeded, as connect() already
 consumed the error via sctp_error().

If the program was ending and if the threads awakening were the other
way around, e.g. if connect() had started a bit after sendto(),
connect() probably would have thought it succeeded, and referenced the
freed memory.

I'm thinking we should add a function to better identify busy sockets
such as this. Like in __sctp_connect(), issuing connect()s in parallel
will also fool current checks. Thoughts?

Hmm connect() doesn't have to start after sendto(), no, as they are
waiting on different wq. Seems it has to wake the connect thread via
sctp_write_space() or sctp_wake_up_waiters(), via sctp_wfree(), which is
set as destructor upon sctp_sendmsg(). So when that chunk is freed, the
connect() returns, seems to make sense to me.
