[3.13.y-ckt][PATCH 0/1][Hyper-V] Add support for VMBus panic notifier handler

[Joseph Salisbury]

Hello,

Please consider including upstream commits 96c1d0581d00f7abe033350edb021a9d947d8d81 and
5ef5b6927f14f29cacd78fa1fb861661a5367f13 in the next v3.13.y-ckt release.  They were
included mainline as of v4.1-rc1.  They have been tested and confirmed to resolve
http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1463584 .


commit 96c1d0581d00f7abe033350edb021a9d947d8d81
Author: Nick Meier <nmeier@microsoft.com>

    Drivers: hv: vmbus: Correcting truncation error for constant HV_CRASH_CTL_CRASH_NOTIFY


Commit 96c1d05 does not apply cleanly to v3.13.y-ckt, so I performed a backport, which is
in email 1/1.


Sincerely,

Joseph Salisbury

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:

This is a new feature, why should it be added to -stable releases?

Sorry, not going to take it, upgrade to 4.1 if you want this feature.

Greg is right: this isn't suitable for stable, so Luís and I will also
drop/revert these from the -ckt stable kernels (3.13, 3.16, and 3.19):

        Drivers: hv: vmbus: Add support for VMBus panic notifier handler
        Drivers: hv: vmbus: Correcting truncation error for constant HV_CRASH_CTL_CRASH_NOTIFY

Sasha, it looks like you've already dropped them from 3.18 but heads-up
just in case.

Thanks Greg!

What are these two lines doing here?

Please remove and resend.

Also, what about 4.0 and other kernels, should this patch go there as
well?  If so, just say "please add commit id XXXXXX to these kernels",
that's all that is needed if no patch changes are required.

thanks,

Multiple messages sent with the same message-id, yet different subjects
and content.  That's a sure way to have your messages dropped into a
spam folder...

Please fix your way of submitting these and resend properly.
