Drivers: hv: hv_fcopy: fix a race condition for SMP guest

2014-07-18T01:43:10Z

We should schedule the 5s "timer work" before starting the data transfer, otherwise, the data transfer code may finish so fast on another virtual cpu that when the code(fcopy_write()) trying to cancel the 5s "timer work" can occasionally fail because the "timer work" may haven't been scheduled yet and as a result the fcopy process will be aborted wrongly by fcopy_work_func() in 5s. Thank Liz Zhang for the initial investigation on the bug.

Drivers: hv: util: Fix a bug in the KVP code

2014-07-09T21:34:35Z

Add code to poll the channel since we process only one message at a time and the host may not interrupt us. Also increase the receive buffer size since some KVP messages are close to 8K bytes in size. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Cc: Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix a bug in the channel callback dispatch code

2014-07-09T21:34:35Z

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. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

hv: use correct order when freeing monitor_pages

2014-05-28T20:45:15Z

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.

Drivers: hv: balloon: Ensure pressure reports are posted regularly

2014-05-03T23:25:17Z

The current code posts periodic memory pressure status from a dedicated thread. Under some conditions, especially when we are releasing a lot of memory into the guest, we may not send timely pressure reports back to the host. Fix this issue by reporting pressure in all contexts that can be active in this driver. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Implement per-CPU mapping of relid to channel

2014-05-03T23:24:26Z

Currently the mapping of the relID to channel is done under the protection of a single spin lock. Starting with ws2012, each channel is bound to a specific VCPU in the guest. Use this binding to eliminate the spin lock by setting up per-cpu state for mapping relId to the channel. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Reviewed-by: Haiyang Zhang Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Drivers: hv: Eliminate the channel spinlock in the callback path

2014-05-03T23:24:26Z

By ensuring that we set the callback handler to NULL in the channel close path on the same CPU that the channel is bound to, we can eliminate this lock acquisition and release in a performance critical path. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Reviewed-by: Haiyang Zhang Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
