Correct issue with not checking kmalloc return value.
This fix now only uses one receive buffer for all hv_utils
channels, and will do only one kmalloc on init and will return
with a -ENOMEM if kmalloc fails on initialize.
Thanks to Evgeniy Polyakov <[email protected]> for pointing this out.
And thanks to Jesper Juhl <[email protected]> and Ky Srinivasan
<[email protected]> for suggesting a better implementation of
my original patch.

You are leaking memory in the failure path. If for example one or two
allocations succeed but one or two fail, then you'll leak the two
successful allocations.
I believe this should be
if (!shut_txf_buf || !time_txf_buf || !hbeat_txf_buf) {
printk(KERN_INFO
"Unable to allocate memory for receive buffer\n");
kfree(hbeat_txf_buf);
kfree(time_txf_buf);
kfree(shut_txf_buf);
return -ENOMEM;

Ohh and another little detail; shouldn't this log message be a
KERN_WARNING level message?
And perhaps the log text should include "HyperV" or something so it's
clear where it comes from..?

I will make that part of another set of patches. I need to remove the DPRINT
Completely from the code and replace them all with the correct kprint statements.

Why are these allocations GFP_ATOMIC. Clearly this is in module loading context and you can afford to sleep. GFP_KERNEL should be fine.

Even if vmbus_recvpacket were to fail, why don't we just shut the guest down; after all we already know that is the intent of the host.

I actually also noticed this when I did my first review of the patch, but
I didn't point it out since I thought that "there must be a good reason".
But now that you point it out and I look at the code once more I can't
actually think of a "good reason",, so I agree with you completely that
these should just be GFP_KERNEL.

I was looking at some of the back code to make sure it is okay, and I see
No reason not make this change either. I will change it and resubmit.
