====================
sctp: Avoid redundant initialisation in sctp_accept() and sctp_do_peeloff().
When sctp_accept() and sctp_do_peeloff() allocates a new socket,
somehow sk_alloc() is used, and the new socket goes through full
initialisation, but most of the fields are overwritten later.
1)
sctp_accept()
|- sctp_v[46]_create_accept_sk()
| |- sk_alloc()
| |- sock_init_data()
| |- sctp_copy_sock()
| `- newsk->sk_prot->init() / sctp_init_sock()
|
`- sctp_sock_migrate()
`- sctp_copy_descendant(newsk, oldsk)
sock_init_data() initialises struct sock, but many fields are
overwritten by sctp_copy_sock(), which inherits fields of struct
sock and inet_sock from the parent socket.
sctp_init_sock() fully initialises struct sctp_sock, but later
sctp_copy_descendant() inherits most fields from the parent's
struct sctp_sock by memcpy().
2)
sctp_do_peeloff()
|- sock_create()
| |
| ...
| |- sk_alloc()
| |- sock_init_data()
| ...
| `- newsk->sk_prot->init() / sctp_init_sock()
|
|- sctp_copy_sock()
`- sctp_sock_migrate()
`- sctp_copy_descendant(newsk, oldsk)
sock_create() creates a brand new socket, but sctp_copy_sock()
and sctp_sock_migrate() overwrite most of the fields.
So, sk_alloc(), sock_init_data(), sctp_copy_sock(), and
sctp_copy_descendant() can be replaced with a single function
like sk_clone_lock().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
