[PATCH net v2 1/5] vsock/virtio: discard packets if the transport changes

From: Stefano Garzarella
Date: Fri Jan 10 2025 - 03:36:19 EST


If the socket has been de-assigned or assigned to another transport,
we must discard any packets received because they are not expected
and would cause issues when we access vsk->transport.

A possible scenario is described by Hyunwoo Kim in the attached link,
where after a first connect() interrupted by a signal, and a second
connect() failed, we can find `vsk->transport` at NULL, leading to a
NULL pointer dereference.
