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 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 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 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.

commit b29ef3546aecb253a5552b198cef23750d56e1e4 upstream.

Minimize failures in this function by pre-allocating the buffer
for posting messages. The hypercall for posting the message can fail
for a number of reasons:

        1. Transient resource related issues
        2. Buffer alignment
        3. Buffer cannot span a page boundry

We address issues 2 and 3 by preallocating a per-cpu page for the buffer.
Transient resource related failures are handled by retrying by the callers
of this function.

This patch is based on the investigation
done by Dexuan Cui &lt;decui@microsoft.com&gt;.

I would like to thank Sitsofe Wheeler &lt;sitsofe@yahoo.com&gt;
for reporting the issue and helping in debuggging.

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).
