The old code always starts from fixed port for VMADDR_PORT_ANY. Sometimes when VMM crashed, there is still orphaned vsock which is waiting for close timer, then it could cause connection time out for new started VM if they are trying to connect to same port with same guest cid since the new packets could hit that orphaned vsock. We could also fix this by doing more in vhost_vsock_reset_orphans, but any way, it should be better to start from a random local port instead of a fixed one.

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the stable kernel tree. Please read: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html for how to do this properly.
