Dear Armbian ARM64 6.6.x kernel people:

Orange Pi 5 delivers incorrect larger SCTP chunks to SCTP.
from lower IP stack in kernel.  This can be seen from the computed
CRC-32 checksum below.  The packet length is right.  This CRC-32 checksum
process works correctly on OpenSuSE x86_64 Tumbleweed with kernel 6.5.4-1.
It also works correctly on Armbian ARM64 5.10.110.  Hence we believe the IP
code is faulty in the 6.6.x kernel "stable rolling release" from Armbian.

This SCTP driver is used in Telecom by companies like Nokia and Ericsson instead of Linux kernel SCTP

and we would like to get it working on the OrangePi 5.

Shorter packets like the SCTP INIT are are unaffected, and in the failing INIT_ACK and COOKIE_ECHO
the initial 20 bytes or so are correct.   This was tested on the 2023 October 9 release of the 6.6.x rolling release and previous releases..

--------------------------------------------------------------------
SCTP/T Trace showing corrupted packet after successful INIT packet
of length 60 bytes received (correctly).  NB: INIT is a short packet.
INIT_ACK and COOKIE_ECHO are 580 or 560 bytes respectively and both fail
the CRC-32 check.
The SCTP packet contains a checksum (pkt-csum) and the receiver recalculates the checksum (c-csum) and compares it to the enclosed checksum.

They re failing to match on larger >500 byte packets.

We are using the Orange PI 5 Ethernet interface. Also TCP, like in large file transfers over scp, works fine.

I am sure process works correctly on Armbian x86_64 https://www.armbian.com/uefi-x86/

You failed to see all those warnings?

- rolling images are not supported
- edge image are not supported

- CI builds are not supported

- development kernels are not supported

Why? 

https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_FAQ/

If you find a problem, invest your own time, fix it and and sent a fix to us or upstream to kernel.org
