This patch adds a test case to reproduce the SCTP DATA chunk retransmission timeout issue caused by the improper SCTP collision processing in netfilter nf_conntrack_proto_sctp. In this test, client sends a INIT chunk, but the INIT_ACK replied from server is delayed until the server sends a INIT chunk to start a new connection from its side. After the connection is complete from server side, the delayed INIT_ACK arrives in nf_conntrack_proto_sctp. The delayed INIT_ACK should be dropped in nf_conntrack_proto_sctp instead of updating the vtag with the out-of-date init_tag, otherwise, the vtag in DATA chunks later sent by client don't match the vtag in the conntrack entry and the DATA chunks get dropped.

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.
