	Without the patch, when hvs_open_connection() hasn't completely established a connection (e.g. it has changed sk->sk_state to SS_CONNECTED, but hasn't inserted the sock into the connected queue), vsock_stream_connect() may see the sk_state change and return the connection to the userspace, and next when the userspace closes the connection quickly, hvs_release() may not see the connection in the connected queue; finally hvs_open_connection() inserts the connection into the queue, but we won't be able to purge the connection for ever.

2017-08-28	hv_sock: implements Hyper-V transport for Virtual Sockets (AF_VSOCK)	Dexuan Cui
	Hyper-V Sockets (hv_sock) supplies a byte-stream based communication mechanism between the host and the guest. It uses VMBus ringbuffer as the transportation layer. With hv_sock, applications between the host (Windows 10, Windows Server 2016 or newer) and the guest can talk with each other using the traditional socket APIs. More info about Hyper-V Sockets is available here: "Make your own integration services": https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/user-guide/make-integration-service The patch implements the necessary support in Linux guest by introducing a new vsock transport for AF_VSOCK.
