commit 372b1e91343e657a7cc5e2e2bcecd5140ac28119 upstream.

The hypercall page only needs to be executable but currently it is setup to
be writable as well. Fix the issue.

commit 421b8f20d3c381b215f988b42428f56fc3b82405 upstream.

It may happen that not all CPUs are online when we do hv_synic_alloc() and
in case more CPUs come online later we may try accessing these allocated
structures.

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 73cffdb65e679b98893f484063462c045adcf212 upstream.

Don't wait after sending request for offers to the host. This wait is
unnecessary and simply adds 5 seconds to the boot time.

commit 04a258c162a85c0f4ae56be67634dc43c9a4fa9b upstream.

When build with Debug the following crash is sometimes observed:
Call Trace:
 [&lt;ffffffff812b9600&gt;] string+0x40/0x100
 [&lt;ffffffff812bb038&gt;] vsnprintf+0x218/0x5e0
 [&lt;ffffffff810baf7d&gt;] ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xd/0x10
 [&lt;ffffffff812bb4c1&gt;] vscnprintf+0x11/0x30
 [&lt;ffffffff8107a2f0&gt;] vprintk+0xd0/0x5c0
 [&lt;ffffffffa0051ea0&gt;] ? vmbus_process_rescind_offer+0x0/0x110 [hv_vmbus]

 [&lt;ffffffffa004ebac&gt;] vmbus_device_unregister+0x2c/0x40 [hv_vmbus]
 [&lt;ffffffffa0051ecb&gt;] vmbus_process_rescind_offer+0x2b/0x110 [hv_vmbus]
...

This happens due to the following race: between 'if (channel-&gt;device_obj)' check
in vmbus_process_rescind_offer() and pr_debug() in vmbus_device_unregister() the
device can disappear. Fix the issue by taking an additional reference to the
device before proceeding to vmbus_device_unregister().

commit 98d731bb064a9d1817a6ca9bf8b97051334a7cfe upstream.

Eliminate calls to BUG_ON() in vmbus_close_internal().
We have chosen to potentially leak memory, than crash the guest
in case of failures.

In this version of the patch I have addressed comments from
Dan Carpenter (dan.carpenter@oracle.com).
