Most of the retries can be done within a millisecond successfully, so we
sleep 1ms before the first retry, then gradually increase the retry
interval to 2^n with max value of 2048ms. Doing so, we will have shorter
overall delay time, because most of the cases succeed within 1-2 attempts.

Since the 2 fucntions can safely run in vmbus_connection.work_queue without
hang, we don't need to schedule new work items into the per-channel workqueue.

Actally we can even remove the per-channel workqueue now -- we'll do it
in the next patch.

This patch is a continuation of the rescind handling cleanup work. We cannot
block in the global message handling work context especially if we are blocking
waiting for the host to wake us up. I would like to thank
Dexuan Cui &lt;decui@microsoft.com&gt; for observing this problem.

The current char-next branch is broken and this patch fixes
the bug.

Currently we log messages when either we are not able to map an ID to a
channel or when the channel does not have a callback associated
(in the channel interrupt handling path). These messages don't add
any value, get rid of them.

I got HV_STATUS_INVALID_CONNECTION_ID on Hyper-V 2008 R2 when keeping running
"rmmod hv_netvsc; modprobe hv_netvsc; rmmod hv_utils; modprobe hv_utils"
in a Linux guest. Looks the host has some kind of throttling mechanism if
some kinds of hypercalls are sent too frequently.
Without the patch, the driver can occasionally fail to load.

Also let's retry HV_STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY, though we didn't get it
before.

Removed 'case -ENOMEM', since the hypervisor doesn't return this.

<title>Drivers: hv: vmbus: teardown hv_vmbus_con workqueue and vmbus_connection pages on shutdown</title>

We need to destroy hv_vmbus_con on module shutdown, otherwise the following
crash is sometimes observed:

To avoid memory leaks we need to free monitor_pages and int_page for
vmbus_connection. Implement vmbus_disconnect() function by separating cleanup
path from vmbus_connect().

As we use hv_vmbus_con to release channels (see free_channel() in channel_mgmt.c)
we need to make sure the work was done before we remove the queue, do that with
drain_workqueue(). We also need to avoid handling messages  which can (potentially)
create new channels, so set vmbus_connection.conn_state = DISCONNECTED at the very
beginning of vmbus_exit() and check for that in vmbus_onmessage_work().

Posting messages to the host can fail because of transient resource
related failures. Correctly deal with these failures and increase the
number of attempts to post the message before giving up.

In this version of the patch, I have normalized the error code to
Linux error code.

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.

We try to free two pages when only one has been allocated.
Cleanup path is unlikely, so I haven't found any trace that would fit,
but I hope that free_pages_prepare() does catch it.
