If the allocation of the requestor fails during runtime, vmbus_open()
fails too and therefore,
the channel and the requestor will not be created. So, the 2 functions
(next_id, requestor_addr)
will never get called, right? The only case in which we hit this edge
case is if a driver is using this
mechanism with a size of 0 (i.e. rqstor_size is not set to a non-zero
value before calling vmbus_open()),
but that would be more like a coding bug. So, I think it would be
better to return VMBUS_RQST_ERROR
as a way to assert that there is a bug in the code. I don't know if
I'm missing something here.
