I agree with the root cause, but I'm not sure I agree with just moving the
wait_for_sndbuf call back above the call to associate. I'm not sure I like
relying on placing a call in a spcific order solely to avoid an error condition
that might legitimately occur. I think would rather check the return code at
the call site for the complete set of conditions for which we should not free
the association. Something like this:

diff --git a/net/sctp/socket.c b/net/sctp/socket.c
index 7d3476a4860d..a68846d2b0ef 100644
--- a/net/sctp/socket.c
+++ b/net/sctp/socket.c
@@ -2071,8 +2071,9 @@ static int sctp_sendmsg(struct sock *sk, struct msghdr *msg, size_t msg_len)

/* Send msg to the asoc */
err = sctp_sendmsg_to_asoc(asoc, msg, msg_len, transport, sinfo);
- if (err < 0 && err != -ESRCH && new)
- sctp_association_free(asoc);
+ if ((err != -ESRCH) && (err != -EPIPE))
+ if (err < 0 && new)
+ sctp_association_free(asoc);

out_unlock:
release_sock(sk);

Which I think also avoids the noted conflict.

Thoughts?
