<content type='text'>
vmbus_process_offer() mustn't call channel-&gt;sc_creation_callback()
directly for sub-channels, because sc_creation_callback() -&gt;
vmbus_open() may never get the host's response to the
OPEN_CHANNEL message (the host may rescind a channel at any time,
e.g. in the case of hot removing a NIC), and vmbus_onoffer_rescind()
may not wake up the vmbus_open() as it's blocked due to a non-zero
vmbus_connection.offer_in_progress, and finally we have a deadlock.

The above is also true for primary channels, if the related device
drivers use sync probing mode by default.

And, usually the handling of primary channels and sub-channels can
depend on each other, so we should offload them to different
workqueues to avoid possible deadlock, e.g. in sync-probing mode,
NIC1's netvsc_subchan_work() can race with NIC2's netvsc_probe() -&gt;
rtnl_lock(), and causes deadlock: the former gets the rtnl_lock
and waits for all the sub-channels to appear, but the latter
can't get the rtnl_lock and this blocks the handling of sub-channels.

The patch can fix the multiple-NIC deadlock described above for
v3.x kernels (e.g. RHEL 7.x) which don't support async-probing
of devices, and v4.4, v4.9, v4.14 and v4.18 which support async-probing
but don't enable async-probing for Hyper-V drivers (yet).

The patch can also fix the hang issue in sub-channel's handling described
above for all versions of kernels, including v4.19 and v4.20-rc4.

So actually the patch should be applied to all the existing kernels,
not only the kernels that have 8195b1396ec8.

With CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y, I always see this warning:
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000]

Fix the false warning by using get/put_cpu().

Here vmbus_connect() sends a message to the host and waits for the
host's response. The host will deliver the response message and an
interrupt on CPU msg-&gt;target_vcpu, and later the interrupt handler
will wake up vmbus_connect(). vmbus_connect() doesn't really have
to run on the same cpu as CPU msg-&gt;target_vcpu, so it's safe to
call put_cpu() just here.

<id>ae20b254306a6a47054ea0eb8444e0bd8e71fe12</id>
<content type='text'>
With VMBus protocol 5.0, we're able to better support new features, e.g.
running two or more VMBus drivers simultaneously in a single VM -- note:
we can't simply load the current VMBus driver twice, instead, a secondary
VMBus driver must be implemented.

This patch adds the support for the new VMBus protocol, which is available
on new Windows hosts, by:

1) We still use SINT2 for compatibility;
2) We must use Connection ID 4 for the Initiate Contact Message, and for
subsequent messages, we must use the Message Connection ID field in
the host-returned VersionResponse Message.

Notes for developers of the secondary VMBus driver:
1) Must use VMBus protocol 5.0 as well;
2) Must use a different SINT number that is not in use.
3) Must use Connection ID 4 for the Initiate Contact Message, and for
subsequent messages, must use the Message Connection ID field in
the host-returned VersionResponse Message.
4) It's possible that the primary VMBus driver using protocol version 4.0
can work with a secondary VMBus driver using protocol version 5.0, but it's
recommended that both should use 5.0 for new Hyper-V features in the future.

hyperv.h is not part of uapi, there are no (known) users outside of kernel.
We are making changes to this file to match current Hyper-V Hypervisor
Top-Level Functional Specification (TLFS, see:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/reference/tlfs)
and we don't want to maintain backwards compatibility.

Move the file renaming to hyperv-tlfs.h to avoid confusing it with
mshyperv.h. In future, all definitions from TLFS should go to it and
all kernel objects should go to mshyperv.h or include/linux/hyperv.h.
