CCing Arseny, author of commit ced7b713711f ("vhost/vsock: support
SEQPACKET for transport").
Looks like a genuine bug in the commit. vhost_vsock_set_features() sets
seqpacket_allow to true when the feature is negotiated. The assumption
is that the field defaults to false.
The rest of the vhost_vsock.ko code is written to initialize the
vhost_vsock fields, so you could argue seqpacket_allow should just be
explicitly initialized to false.
However, eliminating this class of errors by zeroing seems reasonable in
this code path. vhost_vsock_dev_open() is not performance-critical.
