Hyper-V allows a guest to notify the Hyper-V host that a panic
condition occured. This notification can include up to five 64
bit values. These 64 bit values are written into crash MSRs.
Once the data has been written into the crash MSRs, the host is
then notified by writing into a Crash Control MSR. On the Hyper-V
host, the panic notification data is captured in the Windows Event
log as a 18590 event.
Crash MSRs are defined in appendix H of the Hypervisor Top Level
Functional Specification. At the time of this patch, v4.0 is the
current functional spec. The URL for the v4.0 document is:

When many memory regions are being added and automatically onlined the

...
When several memory blocks are going online simultaneously we got several
hv_memory_notifier() trying to acquire the ha_region_mutex. When this mutex is
being held by hot_add_req() all these competing acquire_region_mutex() do
mutex_trylock, fail, and queue themselves into wait_for_completion(..). However
when we do complete() from release_region_mutex() only one of them wakes up.
This could be solved by changing complete() -> complete_all() memory onlining
can be delayed as well, in that case we can still get several
hv_memory_notifier() runners at the same time trying to grab the mutex.
Only one of them will succeed and the others will hang for forever as
complete() is not being called. We don't see this issue often because we have
5sec onlining timeout in hv_mem_hot_add() and usually all udev events arrive
in this time frame.
Get rid of the trylock path, waiting on the mutex is supposed to provide the

Newly introduced clockevent devices made it impossible to unload hv_vmbus
module as clockevents_config_and_register() takes additional reverence to
the module. To make it possible again we do the following:
- avoid setting dev->owner for clockevent devices;
- implement hv_synic_clockevents_cleanup() doing clockevents_unbind_device();
- call it from vmbus_exit().
In theory hv_synic_clockevents_cleanup() can be merged with hv_synic_cleanup(),
however, we call hv_synic_cleanup() from smp_call_function_single() and this
doesn't work for clockevents_unbind_device() as it does such call on its own. I
opted for a separate function.

To avoid memory leaks we need to free monitor_pages and int_page for
vmbus_connection. Implement vmbus_disconnect() function by separating cleanup
path from vmbus_connect().
As we use hv_vmbus_con to release channels (see free_channel() in channel_mgmt.c)
we need to make sure the work was done before we remove the queue, do that with
drain_workqueue(). We also need to avoid handling messages which can (potentially)
create new channels, so set vmbus_connection.conn_state = DISCONNECTED at the very
beginning of vmbus_exit() and check for that in vmbus_onmessage_work().

When an SMP Hyper-V guest is running on top of 2012R2 Server and secondary
cpus are sent offline (with echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$cpu/online)
the system freeze is observed. This happens due to the fact that on newer
hypervisors (Win8, WS2012R2, ...) vmbus channel handlers are distributed
across all cpus (see init_vp_index() function in drivers/hv/channel_mgmt.c)
and on cpu offlining nobody reassigns them to CPU0. Prevent cpu offlining
when vmbus is loaded until the issue is fixed host-side.
This patch also disables hibernation but it is OK as it is also broken (MCE

Big surprise.
But "Hurr durr I'ma sheep" trounced "I like online polls" by a 62-to-38%
margin, in a poll that people weren't even supposed to participate in.
Who can argue with solid numbers like that? 5,796 votes from people who
can't even follow the most basic directions?
In contrast, "v4.0" beat out "v3.20" by a slimmer margin of 56-to-44%,
but with a total of 29,110 votes right now.
Now, arguably, that vote spread is only about 3,200 votes, which is less
than the almost six thousand votes that the "please ignore" poll got, so
it could be considered noise.
But hey, I asked, so I'll honor the votes.

Merge tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4
Pull ext4 fixes from Ted Ts'o:
"Ext4 bug fixes.
We also reserved code points for encryption and read-only images (for
which the implementation is mostly just the reserved code point for a
read-only feature :-)"
* tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4:
ext4: fix indirect punch hole corruption
ext4: ignore journal checksum on remount; don't fail
ext4: remove duplicate remount check for JOURNAL_CHECKSUM change
ext4: fix mmap data corruption in nodelalloc mode when blocksize < pagesize
ext4: support read-only images
ext4: change to use setup_timer() instead of init_timer()
ext4: reserve codepoints used by the ext4 encryption feature
jbd2: complain about descriptor block checksum errors
Pull more vfs updates from Al Viro:
"Assorted stuff from this cycle. The big ones here are multilayer
overlayfs from Miklos and beginning of sorting ->d_inode accesses out
from David"
* 'for-linus-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (51 commits)
autofs4 copy_dev_ioctl(): keep the value of ->size we'd used for allocation
procfs: fix race between symlink removals and traversals
debugfs: leave freeing a symlink body until inode eviction
Documentation/filesystems/Locking: ->get_sb() is long gone
trylock_super(): replacement for grab_super_passive()
fanotify: Fix up scripted S_ISDIR/S_ISREG/S_ISLNK conversions
Cachefiles: Fix up scripted S_ISDIR/S_ISREG/S_ISLNK conversions
VFS: (Scripted) Convert S_ISLNK/DIR/REG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_*(dentry)
SELinux: Use d_is_positive() rather than testing dentry->d_inode
Smack: Use d_is_positive() rather than testing dentry->d_inode
TOMOYO: Use d_is_dir() rather than d_inode and S_ISDIR()
Apparmor: Use d_is_positive/negative() rather than testing dentry->d_inode
Apparmor: mediated_filesystem() should use dentry->d_sb not inode->i_sb
VFS: Split DCACHE_FILE_TYPE into regular and special types
VFS: Add a fallthrough flag for marking virtual dentries
VFS: Add a whiteout dentry type
VFS: Introduce inode-getting helpers for layered/unioned fs environments
Infiniband: Fix potential NULL d_inode dereference
posix_acl: fix reference leaks in posix_acl_create
autofs4: Wrong format for printing dentry
...
Pull ARM fix from Russell King:
"Just one fix this time around. __iommu_alloc_buffer() can cause a
BUG() if dma_alloc_coherent() is called with either __GFP_DMA32 or
__GFP_HIGHMEM set. The patch from Alexandre addresses this"
* 'fixes' of git://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm:
ARM: 8305/1: DMA: Fix kzalloc flags in __iommu_alloc_buffer()
