Quoting from commit 7527810573436f ("Drivers: hv: vmbus: Introduce
the CHANNELMSG_MODIFYCHANNEL message type"),
"[...] Hyper-V can *not* currently ACK CHANNELMSG_MODIFYCHANNEL
messages with the promise that (after the ACK is sent) the
channel won't send any more interrupts to the "old" CPU.
The peculiarity of the CHANNELMSG_MODIFYCHANNEL messages is
problematic if the user want to take a CPU offline, since we
don't want to take a CPU offline (and, potentially, "lose"
channel interrupts on such CPU) if the host is still processing
a CHANNELMSG_MODIFYCHANNEL message associated to that CPU."
Introduce the CHANNELMSG_MODIFYCHANNEL_RESPONSE(24) message type,
which embodies the type of the CHANNELMSG_MODIFYCHANNEL ACK.

I feel like the commit message needs a bit more detail about the new
functionality that is added, including introducing the new VMbus protocol
version 5.3, and then waiting for the response message when running
with that protocol version of later. Also, when taking a CPU offline, new
functionality ensures that there are no pending channel interrupts for
that CPU.
Could/should this patch be broken into multiple patches?
1) Introduce and negotiate VMbus protocol version 5.3. Note that just
negotiating version 5.3 should be safe because any ACK messages will
be cleanly ignored by the old code.
2) Check for pending channel interrupts before taking a CPU offline.
Wouldn't this check be valid even with the existing code where there is no
ACK message? The old code is, in effect, assuming that enough time has
passed such that the modify channel message has been processed.
3) Code to wait for an ACK message, and code to receive and process an
ACK message.

Does the above check really do anything? Such checks are sprinkled throughout
the VMbus code, and I've always questioned their efficacy. The rescind flag can
be set without holding the channel_mutex, so as soon as the above code tests
the flag, it seems like it could change.

Use "sizeof(*msg)" instead?

The calling function, target_cpu_store(), obtains the mutex to synchronize against
channel closure. Does releasing the mutex here still ensure the needed synchronization?
If so, some comments explaining why could be helpful. I didn't try to reason through it
all, so I'm not sure.

Again, I'm wondering if the above is actually useful.

I'm thinking that current Hyper-V never sends a non-zero status. But it's good
to check in case of future changes. The implication is that a non-zero status means
that the request to change the target CPU was not performed, correct?

The error handling seems more complex than needed. The "clean_msglist" label
is only called from one place, so the above code could go inline at that place.

More error handling: The kfree(info) call is done in three different places. With
consistent use of the 'ret' local variable, only one place would be needed.

In the interest of clarity, make the above comment slightly more explicit: When VMbus
version 5.3 or later is negotiated, Hyper-V always sends an ACK in response to
CHANNELMSG_MODIFYCHANNEL. For VMbus version 5.2 and earlier, it never sends an ACK.

A bit more comment here might be warranted. If a bit is set, that means there is a
pending channel interrupt. The expectation is that the normal interrupt handling
mechanism will find and process the channel interrupt "very soon", and in the process
clear the bit. Since Hyper-V won't be setting any additional channel interrupt bits, we
should very soon reach a state where no bits are set.

I think a comment is warranted here. The similar vmbus_chan_sched() code has two ways
to get the recv_int_page, depending on the negotiated VMbus protocol version. This code
assumes the "new" way to get the recv_int_page, which makes sense given that it is invoked
only for newer VMbus protocol versions. But a note about that assumption would be a good
warning for future readers/coders.

I'm not clear on why the above test is needed. If the bit was found to be set
by for_each_set_bit(), that seems good enough to set pending=true.

I think that the patch could be broken into multiple patches. I'm still
wondering whether we could/should invoke hv_synic_event_pending() without
an ACK message (like the description above seems to suggest), say, from
the introduction of MODIFYCHANNEL messages... Thoughts?

Same question (and questioning) here actually. I'm planning to remove
this check in v2. Similarly for the ->rescind check below.

AFAICT, the synchronization against channel closure just want the mutex
critical section to include the MODIFYCHANNEL post.
AFAICT, different target_cpu_store() invocations remain serialized (by
the mutex in kernfs_fop_write()); maybe this is worth noticing?

This corresponds to my understanding too. But you're right, I should

I could add something like the above. Some editing seems to be required
if we want it to be part of 2/3 (that is, before ACKs are introduced).
Similar consideration holds for my comment in hv_synic_cleanup() below.

Agreed. I've removed the test.
