This patch is to add SCTP_AUTH_FREE_KEY type for AUTHENTICATION_EVENT,
as described in section 6.1.8 of RFC6458.
SCTP_AUTH_FREE_KEY: This report indicates that the SCTP
implementation will no longer use the key identifier specified
in auth_keynumber.
After deactivating a key, it would never be used again, which means
it's refcnt can't be held/increased by new chunks. But there may be
some chunks in out queue still using it. So only when refcnt is 1,
which means no chunk in outqueue is using/holding this key either,
this EVENT would be sent.
When users receive this notification, they could do DEL_KEY sockopt to
remove this shkey, and also tell the peer that this key won't be used
in any chunk thoroughly from now on, then the peer can remove it as
well safely.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
