[PATCH 3.14 077/140] Revert "net: sctp: Fix a_rwnd/rwnd management to reflect real state of the receivers buffer"

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 362d52040c71f6e8d8158be48c812d7729cb8df1 ]

This reverts commit ef2820a735f7 ("net: sctp: Fix a_rwnd/rwnd management
to reflect real state of the receiver's buffer") as it introduced a
serious performance regression on SCTP over IPv4 and IPv6, though a not
as dramatic on the latter. Measurements are on 10Gbit/s with ixgbe NICs.

Current state:

With the reverted patch applied, the SCTP/IPv4 performance is back
to normal on latest upstream for IPv4 and IPv6 and has same throughput
as 3.4.2 test kernel, steady and interval reports are smooth again.
