The patch titled Subject: net: fix iteration for sctp transport seq_files has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was net-fix-iteration-for-sctp-transport-seq_files.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------ From: NeilBrown neilb@suse.de Subject: net: fix iteration for sctp transport seq_files

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.
