+ * struct hv_vss_msg encodes the fields that the Linux VSS
+ * driver accesses. However, FREEZE messages from Hyper-V contain
+ * additional LUN information that Linux doesn't use and are not
+ * represented in struct hv_vss_msg. A received FREEZE message may
+ * be as large as 6,260 bytes, so the driver must allocate at least
+ * that much space, not sizeof(struct hv_vss_msg). Other messages
+ * such as AUTO_RECOVER may be as large as 12,500 bytes. However,
+ * because the Linux VSS driver responds that it doesn't support
+ * auto-recovery, it should not receive such messages.
