My vote would be to apply your virtio_transport_recv_pkt() patch *and* make it impossible-by-design to switch ->transport from non-NULL to NULL in vsock_assign_transport(). If I'm not mistaken, that would require rewriting vsock_assign_transport() so that a new transport is assigned only once fully initialized, otherwise keep the old one (still unhurt and functional) and return error. Because failing connect() should not change anything under the hood, right?
