commit 433e19cf33d34bb6751c874a9c00980552fe508c upstream.

Commit a389fcfd2cb5 ("Drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix signaling logic in
hv_need_to_signal_on_read()")
added the proper mb(), but removed the test "prev_write_sz &lt; pending_sz"
when making the signal decision.

As a result, the guest can signal the host unnecessarily,
and then the host can throttle the guest because the host
thinks the guest is buggy or malicious; finally the user
running stress test can perceive intermittent freeze of
the guest.

This patch brings back the test, and properly handles the
in-place consumption APIs used by NetVSC (see get_next_pkt_raw(),
put_pkt_raw() and commit_rd_index()).

commit 3372592a140db69fd63837e81f048ab4abf8111e upstream.

Signal the host when we determine the host is to be signaled -
on th read path. The currrent code determines the need to signal in the
ringbuffer code and actually issues the signal elsewhere. This can result
in the host viewing this interrupt as spurious since the host may also
poll the channel. Make the necessary adjustments.

commit 74198eb4a42c4a3c4fbef08fa01a291a282f7c2e upstream.

One of the factors that can result in the host concluding that a given
guest in mounting a DOS attack is if the guest generates interrupts
to the host when the host is not expecting it. If these "spurious"
interrupts reach a certain rate, the host can throttle the guest to
minimize the impact. The host computation of the "expected number
of interrupts" is strictly based on the ring transitions. Until
the host logic is fixed, base the guest logic to interrupt solely
on the ring state.

"kernel BUG at drivers/hv/channel_mgmt.c:350!" is observed when hv_vmbus
module is unloaded. BUG_ON() was introduced in commit 85d9aa705184
("Drivers: hv: vmbus: add an API vmbus_hvsock_device_unregister()") as
vmbus_free_channels() codepath was apparently forgotten.

<title>vmbus: make sysfs names consistent with PCI</title>

<content type='text'>
In commit 9a56e5d6a0ba ("Drivers: hv: make VMBus bus ids persistent")
the name of vmbus devices in sysfs changed to be (in 4.9-rc1):
  /sys/bus/vmbus/vmbus-6aebe374-9ba0-11e6-933c-00259086b36b

The prefix ("vmbus-") is redundant and differs from how PCI is
represented in sysfs. Therefore simplify to:
  /sys/bus/vmbus/6aebe374-9ba0-11e6-933c-00259086b36b

Please merge this before 4.9 is released and the old format
has to live forever.

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.

Some tools use bus ids to identify devices and they count on the fact
that these ids are persistent across reboot. This may be not true for
VMBus as we use auto incremented counter from alloc_channel() as such
id. Switch to using if_instance from channel offer, this id is supposed
to be persistent.
