Thank you for reporting this! However, I might need some help checking
what is going on there. Your kernel is enabled to panic on warn, which is great
since it gives us understanding that this is a different issue than previous one
(otherwise we would see a panic earlier when failing to increment from zero somewhere).
The code that causes the warning here is this:

@@ -7684,7 +7684,7 @@ static void sctp_wfree(struct sk_buff *skb)
sizeof(struct sk_buff) +
sizeof(struct sctp_chunk);

- atomic_sub(sizeof(struct sctp_chunk), &sk->sk_wmem_alloc);
+ WARN_ON(refcount_sub_and_test(sizeof(struct sctp_chunk), &sk->sk_wmem_alloc));

As you can see previously it would just do a atomic_sub() and not care of
end result, but now it issues a warning if result underflows.
Is it possible that it just uncovered the existing bug or was it supposed to underflow in
certain conditions?

Best Regards,
Elena.
