Hi Bobby,

Smatch that err may not be initialised in the out label below.

Just above this context the following appears:

	if (info->vsk && !skb_set_owner_sk_safe(skb, sk_vsock(info->vsk))) {
		WARN_ONCE(1, "failed to allocate skb on vsock socket with sk_refcnt == 0\n");
		goto out;
	}

So I wonder if in that case err may not be initialised.
