Add code to poll the channel since we process only one message at a time and the host may not interrupt us.

commit 9bd2d0dfe4714dd5d7c09a93a5c9ea9e14ceb3fc upstream.

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.

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. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

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. This patch has been backported to apply against the 3.12 stable tree. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Don't timeout during the initial connection with host 2014-02-22T21:32:27+00:00 K. Y.

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. Signed-off-by: K. Y.
