Drivers: hv: Fix a bug in get_vp_index()

2013-05-21T16:56:55Z

Linux' notion of cpuid is different from the Host's notion of CPUID. In the call to bind the channel interrupts, we should use the host's notion of CPU Ids. Fix this bug. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Cc: Stable (V3.9) Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix a bug in hv_need_to_signal()

2013-04-01T19:29:52Z

As part of updating the vmbus protocol, the function hv_need_to_signal() was introduced. This functions helps optimize signalling from guest to host. The newly added memory barrier is needed to ensure that we correctly decide when to signal the host. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

Drivers: hv: Notify the host of permanent hot-add failures

2013-03-29T16:03:21Z

If memory hot-add fails with the error -EEXIST, then this is a permanent failure. Notify the host of this information, so the host will not attempt hot-add again. If the failure were a transient failure, host will attempt a hot-add after some delay. In this version of the patch, I have added some additional comments to clarify how the host treats different failure conditions. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Drivers: hv: balloon: Support 2M page allocations for ballooning

2013-03-29T16:03:21Z

On Hyper-V it will be very efficient to use 2M allocations in the guest as this makes the ballooning protocol with the host that much more efficient. Hyper-V uses page ranges (start pfn : number of pages) to specify memory being moved around and with 2M pages this encoding can be very efficient. However, when memory is returned to the guest, the host does not guarantee any granularity. To deal with this issue, split the page soon after a successful 2M allocation so that this memory can potentially be freed as 4K pages. If 2M allocations fail, we revert to 4K allocations. In this version of the patch, based on the feedback from Michal Hocko , I have added some additional commentary to the patch description. Cc: Michal Hocko Signed-off-by: K. Y.

Drivers: hv: balloon: Permit Linux to specify hot-add alignment requirements

2013-03-29T15:53:12Z

Some Windows hosts permit the guest to specify memory hot-add alignment requirements (if any). Linux currently requires a 128MB alignment on memory segments that can be hot-added. Specify this alignment requirement to the host. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Drivers: hv: Add a new driver to support host initiated backup

2013-03-15T19:12:36Z

This driver supports host initiated backup of the guest. On Windows guests, the host can generate application consistent backups using the Windows VSS framework. On Linux, we ensure that the backup will be file system consistent. This driver allows the host to initiate a "Freeze" operation on all the mounted file systems in the guest. Once the mounted file systems in the guest are frozen, the host snapshots the guest's file systems. Once this is done, the guest's file systems are "thawed". This driver has a user-level component (daemon) that invokes the appropriate operation on all the mounted file systems in response to the requests from the host. The duration for which the guest is frozen is very short - a few seconds. During this interval, the diff disk is comitted. In this version of the patch I have addressed the feedback from Olaf Herring. Also, some of the connector related issues have been fixed. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Handle channel rescind message correctly

2013-03-15T19:11:51Z

Properly cleanup the channel state on receipt of the "offer rescind" message. Starting with ws2012, the host requires that the channel "relid" be properly cleaned up when the offer is rescinded. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Reviewed-by: Haiyang Zhang Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Drivers: hv: balloon: Implement hot-add functionality

2013-03-15T19:11:51Z

Implement the memory hot-add functionality. With this, Linux guests can fully participate in the Dynamic Memory protocol implemented in the Windows hosts. In this version of the patch, based Olaf Herring's feedback, I have gotten rid of the module level dependency on MEMORY_HOTPLUG. Instead the code within the driver that depends on MEMORY_HOTPLUG has the appropriate compilation switches. This would allow this driver to support pure ballooning in cases where the kernel does not support memory hotplug. Signed-off-by: K. Y.
