    Ying triggered a call trace when doing an asconf testing:

    As it shows, the first sctp_do_sm() running under atomic context (NET_RX
    softirq) invoked sctp_primitive_ASCONF() that uses GFP_KERNEL flag later,
    and this flag is supposed to be used in non-atomic context only. Besides,
    sctp_do_sm() was called recursively, which is not expected.
    
    Vlad tried to fix this recursive call in Commit c0786693
    
     ("sctp: Fix
    oops when sending queued ASCONF chunks") by introducing a new command
    SCTP_CMD_SEND_NEXT_ASCONF. But it didn't work as this command is still
    used in the first sctp_do_sm() call, and sctp_primitive_ASCONF() will
    be called in this command again.
    
    To avoid calling sctp_do_sm() recursively, we send the next queued ASCONF
    not by sctp_primitive_ASCONF(), but by sctp_sf_do_prm_asconf() in the 1st
    sctp_do_sm() directly.
