The code is OK, but the change log could use some help.

How is this for the explanation:

Commit f8d960524 ("sctp: Enforce retransmission limit during shutdown") fixed a
problem with excessive retransmissions in the SHUTDOWN_PENDING by not resetting
the association overall_error_count.  This allowed the association to better
enforce assoc.max_retrans limit.

However, the same issue still exists when the association is in SHUTDOWN_RECEIVED
state.  In this state, HB-ACKs will continue to reset the overall_error_count
for the association would extend the lifetime of association unnecessarily.

This patch solves this by resetting the overall_error_count whenever the current
state is small then SCTP_STATE_SHUTDOWN_PENDING.  As a small side-effect, we
end up also handling SCTP_STATE_SHUTDOWN_ACK_SENT and SCTP_STATE_SHUTDOWN_SENT
states, but they are not really impacted because we disable Heartbeats in those
states.


Thanks
