And what next? The caller does not expect a failure and continues as if the packet has been set up and sent and waiting for a response. This will likely hang somewhere or just do nothing regarding sending/receiving user packets. Failures of alloc_ctrl_packet are handled elsewhere, even during the setup phase so this could be handled more gracefully.
