Pointers to ring-buffer packets sent by Hyper-V are used within the
guest VM. Hyper-V can send packets with erroneous values or modify
packet fields after they are processed by the guest. To defend
against these scenarios, return a copy of the incoming VMBus packet
after validating its length and offset fields in hv_pkt_iter_first().
In this way, the packet can no longer be modified by the host.

Running out of request IDs on a channel essentially produces the same
effect as running out of space in the ring buffer, in that -EAGAIN is
returned. The error message in hv_ringbuffer_write() should either be
dropped (since we don't output a message when the ring buffer is full)
or be made conditional/debug-only.

Currently, VMbus drivers use pointers into guest memory as request IDs
for interactions with Hyper-V. To be more robust in the face of errors
or malicious behavior from a compromised Hyper-V, avoid exposing
guest memory addresses to Hyper-V. Also avoid Hyper-V giving back a
bad request ID that is then treated as the address of a guest data
structure with no validation. Instead, encapsulate these memory
addresses and provide small integers as request IDs.

Fix a race condition that can result in a ring buffer pointer being set
to null while a "_show" function is reading the ring buffer's data. This
problem was discussed here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/18/779
To fix the race condition, add a new mutex lock to the
"hv_ring_buffer_info" struct. Add a new function,
"hv_ringbuffer_pre_init()", where a channel's inbound and outbound
ring_buffer_info mutex locks are initialized.
Acquire/release the locks in the "hv_ringbuffer_cleanup()" function,
which is where the ring buffer pointers are set to null.
Acquire/release the locks in the four channel-level "_show" functions
that access ring buffer data. Remove the "const" qualifier from the
"vmbus_channel" parameter and the "rbi" variable of the channel-level
"_show" functions so that the locks can be acquired/released in these
functions.

Counter values for per-channel interrupts and ring buffer full
conditions are useful for investigating performance.
Expose counters in sysfs for 2 types of guest to host interrupts:
1) Interrupts caused by the channel's outbound ring buffer transitioning
from empty to not empty
2) Interrupts caused by the channel's inbound ring buffer transitioning
from full to not full while a packet is waiting for enough buffer space to
become available
Expose 2 counters in sysfs for the number of times that write operations
encountered a full outbound ring buffer:
1) The total number of write operations that encountered a full
condition
2) The number of write operations that were the first to encounter a
full condition
Increment the outbound full condition counters in the
hv_ringbuffer_write() function because, for most drivers, a full
outbound ring buffer is detected in that function. Also increment the
outbound full condition counters in the set_channel_pending_send_size()
function. In the hv_sock driver, a full outbound ring buffer is detected
and set_channel_pending_send_size() is called before
hv_ringbuffer_write() is called.
I tested this patch by confirming that the sysfs files were created and
observing the counter values. The values seemed to increase by a
reasonable amount when the Hyper-v related drivers were in use.

1. The interrupt_mask must not be used to determine whether to signal
on the host->guest ring buffer
2. The ring buffer write_index must be read (via hv_get_bytes_to_write)
*after* pending_send_sz is read in order to avoid a race condition
3. Comparisons with pending_send_sz must treat the "equals" case as
not-enough-space
4. Don't signal if the pending_send_sz feature is not present. Older

added the proper mb(), but removed the test "prev_write_sz < 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

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 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
Arseney Romanenko <arseneyr@microsoft.com> for pointing out this issue.
Also, issue a full memory barrier before making the signaling descision
to correctly deal with potential reordering of the write (read index)
