pkt is leaked here. This is an easy mistake to make because the code is
unclear. The pkt argument is the received packet that we must reply to.
The reply packet is allocated just before line 680 and must be free
explicitly for return -ENOTCONN.
You can avoid the leak and make the code easier to read like this:
struct virtio_vsock_pkt *reply;
...
------ avoid reusing 'pkt'
v
reply = virtio_transport_alloc_pkt(&info, 0, ...);
if (!reply)
return -ENOMEM;
t = virtio_transport_get_ops();
if (!t) {
virtio_transport_free_pkt(reply); <-- prevent memory leak
return -ENOTCONN;
}
return t->send_pkt(reply);
