commit af8085f3a4712c57d0dd415ad543bac85780375c upstream.
The sctp transport seq_file iterators take a reference to the transport
in the ->start and ->next functions and releases the reference in the
->show function. The preferred handling for such resources is to
release them in the subsequent ->next or ->stop function call.
Since Commit 1f4aace60b0e ("fs/seq_file.c: simplify seq_file iteration
code and interface") there is no guarantee that ->show will be called
after ->next, so this function can now leak references.
So move the sctp_transport_put() call to ->next and ->stop.
Fixes: 1f4aace60b0e ("fs/seq_file.c: simplify seq_file iteration code and interface")

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.
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.
