Till recently the expected length of bytes read by the
daemon did depend on the context. It was either hv_start_fcopy or
hv_do_fcopy. The daemon had a buffer size of two pages, which was much
larger than needed.

Now the expected length of bytes read by the
daemon changed slightly. For START_FILE_COPY it is still the size of
hv_start_fcopy.  But for WRITE_TO_FILE and the other operations it is as
large as the buffer that arrived via vmbus. In case of WRITE_TO_FILE
that is slightly larger than a struct hv_do_fcopy. Since the buffer in
the daemon was still larger everything was fine.

Currently, the daemon reads only what is actually needed.
The new buffer layout is as large as a struct hv_do_fcopy, for the
WRITE_TO_FILE operation. Since the kernel expects a slightly larger
size, hvt_op_read will return -EINVAL because the daemon will read
slightly less than expected. Address this by restoring the expected
buffer size in case of WRITE_TO_FILE.

Fixes: 'c7e490fc23eb ("Drivers: hv: fcopy: convert to hv_utils_transport")'
Fixes: '3f2baa8a7d2e ("Tools: hv: update buffer handling in hv_fcopy_daemon")'

<title>vmbus: don't acquire the mutex in vmbus_hvsock_device_unregister()</title>

<content type='text'>
Due to commit 54a66265d675 ("Drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix rescind handling"),
we need this patch to resolve the below deadlock:

after we get the mutex in vmbus_hvsock_device_unregister() and call
vmbus_device_unregister() -&gt; device_unregister() -&gt; ... -&gt; device_release()
-&gt; vmbus_device_release(), we'll get a deadlock, because
vmbus_device_release() tries to get the same mutex.

This patch handles the following issues that were observed when we are
handling racing channel offer message and rescind message for the same
offer:

1. Since the host does not respond to messages on a rescinded channel,
in the current code, we could be indefinitely blocked on the vmbus_open() call.

2. When a rescinded channel is being closed, if there is a pending interrupt on the
channel, we could end up freeing the channel that the interrupt handler would run on.

<title>Drivers: hv: kvp: Use MAX_ADAPTER_ID_SIZE for translating adapter id</title>

<content type='text'>
There's a bug which passes the output buffer size as MAX_IP_ADDR_SIZE,
when converting the adapter_id field to UTF16. This is much larger than
the actual size (MAX_ADAPTER_ID_SIZE). Fix this by passing the proper
size.

Fortunately, the translation is limited by the length of the input. This
explains why we haven't seen output buffer overflow conditions.

When left uninitialized, this sometimes fails the following check in
post_status():

	if (!time_after(now, (last_post_time + HZ))) {
		return;
        }

This causes unnecessary delays in reporting memory pressure to host after
booting up.
