Your proposed solution is very nice, but it does 2 things in one
patch.
 1) It fixes the bug
 2) It refactors the code to improve the flow.

While (2) is very nice, it needs a much more careful review.
Can you please split this into 2 patches?  First patch can
make the code look like this:

	if (sctp_acked(sack, tsn)) {
		...
		if (!tchunk->tsn_gap_acked) {
			tchunk->tsn_gap_acked = 1;
			*highest_new_tsn_in_sack = tsn;
			bytes_acked += sctp_data_size(tchunk);
                        if (!tchunk->transport)
				migrate_bytes += sctp_data_size(tchunk);
			forward_progress = true;

			/*
			 * SFR-CACC algorithm:
			 * 2) If the SACK contains gap acks
			 * and the flag CHANGEOVER_ACTIVE is
			 * set the receiver of the SACK MUST
			 * take the following action:
			...
		}
	}

Then you can file a second patch to improve the flow/refactor the 
function.  You have to be very careful here though and be sure to
run through all the regression tests since you would be modifying
a very critcal part of the code.

Thanks
