Now sctp uses inet_dgram_connect as its proto_ops .connect, and the flags param can't be passed into its proto .connect where this flags is really needed. sctp works around it by getting flags from socket file in __sctp_connect. It works for connecting from userspace, as inherently the user sock has socket file and it passes f_flags as the flags param into the proto_ops .connect. However, the sock created by sock_create_kern doesn't have a socket file, and it passes the flags (like O_NONBLOCK) by using the flags param in kernel_connect, which calls proto_ops .connect later. So to fix it, this patch defines a new proto_ops .connect for sctp, sctp_inet_connect, which calls __sctp_connect() directly with this flags param. After this, the sctp's proto .connect can be removed. Note that sctp_inet_connect doesn't need to do some checks that are not needed for sctp, which makes thing better than with inet_dgram_connect.

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 Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
