Currently, there is only one user for hv_ringbuffer_read()/
hv_ringbuffer_peak() functions and the usage of these functions is:
- insecure as we drop ring_lock between them, someone else (in theory
  only) can acquire it in between;
- non-optimal as we do a number of things (acquire/release the above
  mentioned lock, calculate available space on the ring, ...) twice and
  this path is performance-critical.

Remove hv_ringbuffer_peek() moving the logic from __vmbus_recvpacket() to
hv_ringbuffer_read().

<title>Drivers: hv: remove code duplication between vmbus_recvpacket()/vmbus_recvpacket_raw()</title>

vmbus_recvpacket() and vmbus_recvpacket_raw() are almost identical but
there are two discrepancies:
1) vmbus_recvpacket() doesn't propagate errors from hv_ringbuffer_read()
   which looks like it is not desired.
2) There is an error message printed in packetlen &gt; bufferlen case in
   vmbus_recvpacket(). I'm removing it as it is usless for users to see
   such messages and /vmbus_recvpacket_raw() doesn't have it.

<title>Drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix a Host signaling bug</title>

Currently we have two policies for deciding when to signal the host:
One based on the ring buffer state and the other based on what the
VMBUS client driver wants to do. Consider the case when the client
wants to explicitly control when to signal the host. In this case,
if the client were to defer signaling, we will not be able to signal
the host subsequently when the client does want to signal since the
ring buffer state will prevent the signaling. Implement logic to
have only one signaling policy in force for a given channel.

<title>Drivers: hv: vmbus: fix rescind-offer handling for device without a driver</title>

<id>34c6801e3310ad286c7bb42bc88d42926b8f99bf</id>
<content type='text'>
In the path vmbus_onoffer_rescind() -&gt; vmbus_device_unregister()  -&gt;
device_unregister() -&gt; ... -&gt; __device_release_driver(), we can see for a
device without a driver loaded: dev-&gt;driver is NULL, so
dev-&gt;bus-&gt;remove(dev), namely vmbus_remove(), isn't invoked.

As a result, vmbus_remove() -&gt; hv_process_channel_removal() isn't invoked
and some cleanups(like sending a CHANNELMSG_RELID_RELEASED message to the
host) aren't done.

We can demo the issue this way:
1. rmmod hv_utils;
2. disable the Heartbeat Integration Service in Hyper-V Manager and lsvmbus
shows the device disappears.
3. re-enable the Heartbeat in Hyper-V Manager and modprobe hv_utils, but
lsvmbus shows the device can't appear again.
This is because, the host thinks the VM hasn't released the relid, so can't
re-offer the device to the VM.

We can fix the issue by moving hv_process_channel_removal()
from vmbus_close_internal() to vmbus_device_release(), since the latter is
always invoked on device_unregister(), whether or not the dev has a driver
loaded.

process_chn_event(), running in the tasklet, can race with
vmbus_close_internal() in the case of SMP guest, e.g., when the former is
accessing channel-&gt;inbound.ring_buffer, the latter could be freeing the
ring_buffer pages.

To resolve the race, we can serialize them by disabling the tasklet when
the latter is running here.

In case there was an error reported in the response to the CHANNELMSG_OPENCHANNEL
call we need to do the cleanup as a vmbus_open() user won't be doing it after
receiving an error. The cleanup should be done on all failure paths. We also need
to avoid returning open_info-&gt;response.open_result.status as the return value as
all other errors we return from vmbus_open() are -EXXX and vmbus_open() callers
are not supposed to analyze host error codes.

the host based on the kick_q parameter, signalling the host
unconditionally in this case deals with the issue.
