hb_timer might not start at all for a particular transport because its
start is conditional. In a result a node is not sending heartbeats.
Function sctp_transport_reset_hb_timer has two roles:
- initial start of hb_timer for a given transport,
- update expire date of hb_timer for a given transport.
The function is optimized to update timer's expire only if it is before
a new calculated one but this comparison is invalid for a timer which
has not yet started. Such a timer has expire == 0 and if a new expire
value is bigger than (MAX_JIFFIES / 2 + 2) then "time_before" macro will
fail and timer will not start resulting in no heartbeat packets send by
the node.
This was found when association was initialized within first 5 mins
after system boot due to jiffies init value which is near to MAX_JIFFIES.
Test kernel version: 4.9.154 (ARCH=arm)
hb_timer.expire = 0; //initialized, not started timer
new_expire = MAX_JIFFIES / 2 + 2; //or more
time_before(hb_timer.expire, new_expire) == false

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
