[ Upstream commit 07a756a49f4b4290b49ea46e089cbe6f79ff8d26 ]

If the KVP (or VSS) daemon starts before the VMBus channel's ringbuffer is
fully initialized, we can hit the panic below:

hv_utils: Registering HyperV Utility Driver
hv_vmbus: registering driver hv_utils
...
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
CPU: 44 UID: 0 PID: 2552 Comm: hv_kvp_daemon Tainted: G E 6.11.0-rc3+ #1
RIP: 0010:hv_pkt_iter_first+0x12/0xd0
Call Trace:

 &lt;TASK&gt;
 asm_sysvec_hyperv_stimer0
...
 kvp_register_done
 hvt_op_read
 vfs_read
 ksys_read
 __x64_sys_read

This can happen because the KVP/VSS channel callback can be invoked
even before the channel is fully opened:
1) as soon as hv_kvp_init() -&gt; hvutil_transport_init() creates
/dev/vmbus/hv_kvp, the kvp daemon can open the device file immediately and
register itself to the driver by writing a message KVP_OP_REGISTER1 to the
file (which is handled by kvp_on_msg() -&gt;kvp_handle_handshake()) and
reading the file for the driver's response, which is handled by
hvt_op_read(), which calls hvt-&gt;on_read(), i.e. kvp_register_done().

2) the problem with kvp_register_done() is that it can cause the
channel callback to be called even before the channel is fully opened,
and when the channel callback is starting to run, util_probe()-&gt;
vmbus_open() may have not initialized the ringbuffer yet, so the
callback can hit the panic of NULL pointer dereference.

To reproduce the panic consistently, we can add a "ssleep(10)" for KVP in
__vmbus_open(), just before the first hv_ringbuffer_init(), and then we
unload and reload the driver hv_utils, and run the daemon manually within
the 10 seconds.

Fix the panic by reordering the steps in util_probe() so the char dev
entry used by the KVP or VSS daemon is not created until after
vmbus_open() has completed. This reordering prevents the race condition
from happening.

[ Upstream commit ddc9d357b991838c2d975e8d7e4e9db26f37a7ff ]

When a Linux hv_sock app tries to connect to a Service GUID on which no
host app is listening, a recent host (RS3+) sends a
CHANNELMSG_TL_CONNECT_RESULT (23) message to Linux and this triggers such
a warning:

unknown msgtype=23
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 0 at drivers/hv/vmbus_drv.c:1031 vmbus_on_msg_dpc

Actually Linux can safely ignore the message because the Linux app's
connect() will time out in 2 seconds: see VSOCK_DEFAULT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT
and vsock_stream_connect(). We don't bother to make use of the message
because: 1) it's only supported on recent hosts; 2) a non-trivial effort
is required to use the message in Linux, but the benefit is small.

So, let's not see the warning by silently ignoring the message.

<title>Drivers: hv: vmbus: Resume after fixing up old primary channels</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d8bd2d442bb2688b428ac7164e5dc6d95d4fa65b</id>
<content type='text'>
When the host re-offers the primary channels upon resume, the host only
guarantees the Instance GUID  doesn't change, so vmbus_bus_suspend()
should invalidate channel-&gt;offermsg.child_relid and figure out the
number of primary channels that need to be fixed up upon resume.

Upon resume, vmbus_onoffer() finds the old channel structs, and maps
the new offers to the old channels, and fixes up the old structs,
and finally the resume callbacks of the VSC drivers will re-open
the channels.

The existing method of telling if a channel is sub-channel in
vmbus_process_offer() is cumbersome. This new simple helper function
is preferred in future.

<title>PCI: hv: Add a paravirtual backchannel in software</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e5d2f910cfeca852f6e2dc19dfa8dab264ce0cde</id>
<content type='text'>
Windows SR-IOV provides a backchannel mechanism in software for communication
between a VF driver and a PF driver.  These "configuration blocks" are
similar in concept to PCI configuration space, but instead of doing reads and
writes in 32-bit chunks through a very slow path, packets of up to 128 bytes
can be sent or received asynchronously.

Nearly every SR-IOV device contains just such a communications channel in
hardware, so using this one in software is usually optional.  Using the
software channel, however, allows driver implementers to leverage software
tools that fuzz the communications channel looking for vulnerabilities.

The usage model for these packets puts the responsibility for reading or
writing on the VF driver.  The VF driver sends a read or a write packet,
indicating which "block" is being referred to by number.

If the PF driver wishes to initiate communication, it can "invalidate" one or
more of the first 64 blocks.  This invalidation is delivered via a callback
supplied by the VF driver by this driver.

No protocol is implied, except that supplied by the PF and VF drivers.

<title>Drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix race condition with new ring_buffer_info mutex</title>

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.

Acquire/release the locks in hv_ringbuffer_get_debuginfo(). Remove the
"const" qualifier from the "hv_ring_buffer_info" parameter so that the
locks can be acquired/released in this function.
