With exception, you mean if tun_get_user returns an error that
propagates to the sendmsg call in vhost handle_tx, correct?

I think the right approach is to address this in the error paths,
rather than complicate the normal datapath.

Is it sufficient to suppress the call to vhost_net_ubuf_put in the
handle_tx sendmsg error path, given that vhost_zerocopy_callback
will be called on kfree_skb?

Or alternatively clear the destructor in drop:
