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.

I'm observing the following hot add requests from the WS2012 host:
hot_add_req: start_pfn = 0x108200 count = 330752
hot_add_req: start_pfn = 0x158e00 count = 193536
hot_add_req: start_pfn = 0x188400 count = 239616
As the host doesn't specify hot add regions we're trying to create
128Mb-aligned region covering the first request, we create the 0x108000 -
0x160000 region and we add 0x108000 - 0x158e00 memory. The second request
passes the pfn_covered() check, we enlarge the region to 0x108000 -
0x190000 and add 0x158e00 - 0x188200 memory. The problem emerges with the
third request as it starts at 0x188400 so there is a 0x200 gap which is
not covered. As the end of our region is 0x190000 now it again passes the
pfn_covered() check were we just adjust the covered_end_pfn and make it
0x188400 instead of 0x188200 which means that we'll try to online
0x188200-0x188400 pages but these pages were never assigned to us and we
crash.
We can't react to such requests by creating new hot add regions as it may
happen that the whole suggested range falls into the previously identified
128Mb-aligned area so we'll end up adding nothing or create intersecting
regions and our current logic doesn't allow that. Instead, create a list of
such 'gaps' and check for them in the page online callback.

Windows 2012 (non-R2) does not specify hot add region in hot add requests
and the logic in hot_add_req() is trying to find a 128Mb-aligned region
covering the request. It may also happen that host's requests are not 128Mb
aligned and the created ha_region will start before the first specified
PFN. We can't online these non-present pages but we don't remember the real
start of the region.
This is a regression introduced by the commit 5abbbb75d7 ("Drivers: hv:
hv_balloon: don't lose memory when onlining order is not natural"). While
the idea of keeping the 'moving window' was wrong (as there is no guarantee
that hot add requests come ordered) we should still keep track of

Background: userspace daemons registration protocol for Hyper-V utilities
drivers has two steps:
1) daemon writes its own version to kernel
2) kernel reads it and replies with module version
at this point we consider the handshake procedure being completed and we
do hv_poll_channel() transitioning the utility device to HVUTIL_READY
state. At this point we're ready to handle messages from kernel.
When hvutil_transport is in HVUTIL_TRANSPORT_CHARDEV mode we have a
single buffer for outgoing message. hvutil_transport_send() puts to this
buffer and till the buffer is cleared with hvt_op_read() returns -EFAULT
to all consequent calls. Host<->guest protocol guarantees there is no more
than one request at a time and we will not get new requests till we reply
to the previous one so this single message buffer is enough.
Now to the race. When we finish negotiation procedure and send kernel
module version to userspace with hvutil_transport_send() it goes into the
above mentioned buffer and if the daemon is slow enough to read it from
there we can get a collision when a request from the host comes, we won't
be able to put anything to the buffer so the request will be lost. To
solve the issue we need to know when the negotiation is really done (when
the version message is read by the daemon) and transition to HVUTIL_READY
state after this happens. Implement a callback on read to support this.
Old style netlink communication is not affected by the change, we don't
really know when these messages are delivered but we don't have a single
message buffer there.

Kdump keeps biting. Turns out CHANNELMSG_UNLOAD_RESPONSE is always

the fact that in case we're crashing on some other CPU we won't get the
CHANNELMSG_UNLOAD_RESPONSE message and our wait on the current CPU will
never end.
Do the following:
1) Check for completion_done() in the loop. In case interrupt handler is
still alive we'll get the confirmation we need.
2) Read message pages for all CPUs message page as we're unsure where
CHANNELMSG_UNLOAD_RESPONSE is going to be delivered to. We can race with
still-alive interrupt handler doing the same, add cmpxchg() to
vmbus_signal_eom() to not lose CHANNELMSG_UNLOAD_RESPONSE message.
3) Cleanup message pages on all CPUs. This is required (at least for the
current CPU as we're clearing CPU0 messages now but we may want to bring
up additional CPUs on crash) as new messages won't be delivered till we
consume what's pending. On boot we'll place message pages somewhere else

Hyper-V VMs can be replicated to another hosts and there is a feature to
set different IP for replicas, it is called 'Failover TCP/IP'. When
such guest starts Hyper-V host sends it KVP_OP_SET_IP_INFO message as soon
as we finish negotiation procedure. The problem is that it can happen (and
it actually happens) before userspace daemon connects and we reply with
HV_E_FAIL to the message. As there are no repetitions we fail to set the
requested IP.
Solve the issue by postponing our reply to the negotiation message till
userspace daemon is connected. We can't wait too long as there is a
host-side timeout (cca. 75 seconds) and if we fail to reply in this time
frame the whole KVP service will become inactive. The solution is not
ideal - if it takes userspace daemon more than 60 seconds to connect
IP Failover will still fail but I don't see a solution with our current

This patch changes vmbus_allocate_mmio() and vmbus_free_mmio() so
that when child paravirtual devices allocate memory-mapped I/O
space, they allocate it privately from a resource tree pointed
at by hyperv_mmio and also by the public resource tree
iomem_resource. This allows the region to be marked as "busy"
in the private tree, but a "bridge window" in the public tree,
guaranteeing that no two bridge windows will overlap each other
but while also allowing the PCI device children of the bridge
windows to overlap that window.
One might conclude that this belongs in the pnp layer, rather
than in this driver. Rafael Wysocki, the maintainter of the

On the consumer side, we have interrupt driven flow management of the
producer. It is sufficient to base the signaling decision on the
amount of space that is available to write after the read is complete.
The current code samples the previous available space and uses this
in making the signaling decision. This state can be stale and is
unnecessary. Since the state can be stale, we end up not signaling
the host (when we should) and this can result in a hang. Fix this
problem by removing the unnecessary check. I would like to thank
