commit 396e287fa2ff46e83ae016cdcb300c3faa3b02f6 upstream.

vmbus_teardown_gpadl() can result in infinite wait when it is called on 5
second timeout in vmbus_open(). The issue is caused by the fact that gpadl
teardown operation won't ever succeed for an opened channel and the timeout
isn't always enough. As a guest, we can always trust the host to respond to
our request (and there is nothing we can do if it doesn't).

commit 7cc80c98070ccc7940fc28811c92cca0a681015d upstream.

In some cases create_gpadl_header() allocates submessages but we never
free them.

[sumits] Note for stable:
Upstream commit 4d63763296ab7865a98bc29cc7d77145815ef89f:
(Drivers: hv: get rid of redundant messagecount in create_gpadl_header())
changes the list usage to initialize list header in all cases; that patch
isn't added to stable, so the current patch is modified a little bit from
the upstream commit to check if the list is valid or not.

commit 77c0c9735bc0ba5898e637a3a20d6bcb50e3f67d upstream.

When we iterate through all HA regions in handle_pg_range() we have an
assumption that all these regions are sorted in the list and the
'start_pfn &gt;= has-&gt;end_pfn' check is enough to find the proper region.
Unfortunately it's not the case with WS2016 where host can hot-add regions
in a different order. We end up modifying the wrong HA region and crashing
later on pages online. Modify the check to make sure we found the region
we were searching for while iterating. Fix the same check in pfn_covered()
as well.

commit a9f61ca793becabdefab03b77568d6c6f8c1bc79 upstream.

When we crash from NMI context (e.g. after NMI injection from host when
'sysctl -w kernel.unknown_nmi_panic=1' is set) we hit

    kernel BUG at mm/vmalloc.c:1530!

as vfree() is denied. While the issue could be solved with in_nmi() check
instead I opted for skipping vfree on all sorts of crashes to reduce the
amount of work which can cause consequent crashes. We don't really need to
free anything on crash.

[js] no tsc and kexec in 3.12 yet

commit 407a3aee6ee2d2cb46d9ba3fc380bc29f35d020c upstream.

The host keeps sending heartbeat packets independent of the
guest responding to them.  Even though we respond to the heartbeat messages at
interrupt level, we can have situations where there maybe multiple heartbeat
messages pending that have not been responded to. For instance this occurs when the
VM is paused and the host continues to send the heartbeat messages.
Address this issue by draining and responding to all
the heartbeat messages that maybe pending.

commit e513229b4c386e6c9f66298c13fde92f73e6e1ac upstream.

When an SMP Hyper-V guest is running on top of 2012R2 Server and secondary
cpus are sent offline (with echo 0 &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$cpu/online)
the system freeze is observed. This happens due to the fact that on newer
hypervisors (Win8, WS2012R2, ...) vmbus channel handlers are distributed
across all cpus (see init_vp_index() function in drivers/hv/channel_mgmt.c)
and on cpu offlining nobody reassigns them to CPU0. Prevent cpu offlining
when vmbus is loaded until the issue is fixed host-side.

This patch also disables hibernation but it is OK as it is also broken (MCE
error is hit on resume). Suspend still works.

Tested with WS2008R2 and WS2012R2.

commit 84672369ffb98a51d4ddf74c20a23636da3ad615 upstream.

Whenever a device is unregistered in vmbus_device_unregister (drivers/hv/vmbus_drv.c), the device name in the log message may contain garbage as the memory has already been freed by the time pr_info is called. Log example:
 [ 3149.170475] hv_vmbus: child device àõsèè0_5 unregistered

By logging the message just before calling device_unregister, the correct device name is printed:
[ 3145.034652] hv_vmbus: child device vmbus_0_5 unregistered

Also changing register &amp; unregister messages to debug to avoid unnecessarily cluttering the kernel log.

Also changing register &amp; unregister messages to debug to avoid unnecessarily cluttering the kernel log.
