Drivers: hv: util: Fix a bug in the KVP code

2014-07-28T15:00:02+00:00

commit 9bd2d0dfe4714dd5d7c09a93a5c9ea9e14ceb3fc upstream.

Add code to poll the channel since we process only one message
at a time and the host may not interrupt us. Also increase the
receive buffer size since some KVP messages are close to 8K bytes in size.

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix a bug in the channel callback dispatch code

2014-07-17T22:58:02+00:00

commit affb1aff300ddee54df307812b38f166e8a865ef upstream.

Starting with Win8, we have implemented several optimizations to improve the
scalability and performance of the VMBUS transport between the Host and the
Guest. Some of the non-performance critical services cannot leverage these
optimization since they only read and process one message at a time.
Make adjustments to the callback dispatch code to account for the way
non-performance critical drivers handle reading of the channel.

Drivers: hv: balloon: Ensure pressure reports are posted regularly

2014-06-26T19:12:40+00:00

commit ae339336dc950b9b05e7ccd3565dd3e8781c06d9 upstream.

The current code posts periodic memory pressure status from a dedicated thread.
Under some conditions, especially when we are releasing a lot of memory into
the guest, we may not send timely pressure reports back to the host. Fix this
issue by reporting pressure in all contexts that can be active in this driver.

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Negotiate version 3.0 when running on ws2012r2 hosts

2014-06-07T20:25:35+00:00

commit 03367ef5ea811475187a0732aada068919e14d61 upstream.

Only ws2012r2 hosts support the ability to reconnect to the host on VMBUS. This functionality
is needed by kexec in Linux. To use this functionality we need to negotiate version 3.0 of the
VMBUS protocol.

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Don't timeout during the initial connection with host

2014-02-22T20:41:28+00:00

commit 269f979467cf49f2ea8132316c1f00f8c9678f7c upstream.

When the guest attempts to connect with the host when there may already be a
connection with the host (as would be the case during the kdump/kexec path),
it is difficult to guarantee timely response from the host. Starting with
WS2012 R2, the host supports this ability to re-connect with the host
(explicitly to support kexec). Prior to responding to the guest, the host
needs to ensure that device states based on the previous connection to
the host have been properly torn down. This may introduce unbounded delays.
To deal with this issue, don't do a timed wait during the initial connect
with the host.

Drivers: hv: balloon: Do not post pressure status if interrupted

2013-08-04T08:50:58+00:00

commit c5e2254f8d63a6654149aa32ac5f2b7dd66a976d upstream.

When we are posting pressure status, we may get interrupted and handle
the un-balloon operation. In this case just don't post the status as we
know the pressure status is stale.

Drivers: hv: balloon: Fix a bug in the hot-add code

2013-08-04T08:50:58+00:00

commit ed07ec93e83ec471d365ce084e43ad90fd205903 upstream.

As we hot-add 128 MB chunks of memory, we wait to ensure that the memory
is onlined before attempting to hot-add the next chunk. If the udev rule for
memory hot-add is not executed within the allowed time, we would rollback the
state and abort further hot-add. Since the hot-add has succeeded and the only
failure is that the memory is not onlined within the allowed time, we should not
be rolling back the state. Fix this bug.

drivers: hv: switch to use mb() instead of smp_mb()

2013-07-22T01:21:25+00:00

commit 35848f68b07df3f917cb13fc3c134718669f569b upstream.

Even if guest were compiled without SMP support, it could not assume that host
wasn't. So switch to use mb() instead of smp_mb() to force memory barriers for
UP guest.

Drivers: hv: Fix a bug in get_vp_index()

2013-05-21T16:56:55+00:00

Linux' notion of cpuid is different from the Host's notion of CPUID. In the
call to bind the channel interrupts, we should use the host's notion of
CPU Ids. Fix this bug.
