not always true:

both sctp_init_cause_fixed() and sctp_addto_chunk_fixed() get
passesd WORD_ROUND(ntohs(param.p->length) as the paylen/len
parameter.

sctp_init_cause_fixed() does:
	len = sizeof(sctp_errhdr_t) + paylen;
        if (skb_tailroom(chunk->skb) < len)
	                return -ENOSPC;

if paylen is only slightly smaller than the tailroom (by less
than sizeof(sctp_errhdr_t) bytes), -ENOSPEC will be returned and
the header will not be appended to the error chunk.

But later sctp_addto_chunk_fixed() does this check:
	if (skb_tailroom(chunk->skb) >= len)
which will pass and the unknown parameter value will be appended
to the error chunk without the error header.

The logic of not reporting unknown parameters for which we don't
have space in the pre-allocated buffer remains unchanged.
