Prior to commit 0cf737808a ("hv_netvsc: netvsc_teardown_gpadl() split")
the call sequence in netvsc_device_remove() was as follows (as
implemented in netvsc_destroy_buf()):
1- Send NVSP_MSG1_TYPE_REVOKE_RECV_BUF message
2- Teardown receive buffer GPADL
3- Send NVSP_MSG1_TYPE_REVOKE_SEND_BUF message
4- Teardown send buffer GPADL
5- Close vmbus
This didn't work for WS2016 hosts. Commit 0cf737808a
("hv_netvsc: netvsc_teardown_gpadl() split") rearranged the
teardown sequence as follows:
1- Send NVSP_MSG1_TYPE_REVOKE_RECV_BUF message
2- Send NVSP_MSG1_TYPE_REVOKE_SEND_BUF message
3- Close vmbus
4- Teardown receive buffer GPADL
5- Teardown send buffer GPADL
That worked well for WS2016 hosts, but it prevented guests on older hosts from
shutting down after changing network settings. Commit 0ef58b0a05
("hv_netvsc: change GPAD teardown order on older versions") ensured the
following message sequence for older hosts
1- Send NVSP_MSG1_TYPE_REVOKE_RECV_BUF message
2- Send NVSP_MSG1_TYPE_REVOKE_SEND_BUF message
3- Teardown receive buffer GPADL
4- Teardown send buffer GPADL
5- Close vmbus
However, with this sequence calling `ip link set eth0 mtu 1000` hangs and the
process becomes uninterruptible. On futher analysis it turns out that on tearing
down the receive buffer GPADL the kernel is waiting indefinitely
in vmbus_teardown_gpadl() for a completion to be signaled.
Here is a snippet of where this occurs:
int vmbus_teardown_gpadl(struct vmbus_channel *channel, u32 gpadl_handle)
{
struct vmbus_channel_gpadl_teardown *msg;
struct vmbus_channel_msginfo *info;
unsigned long flags;
int ret;
info = kmalloc(sizeof(*info) +
sizeof(struct vmbus_channel_gpadl_teardown), GFP_KERNEL);
if (!info)
return -ENOMEM;
init_completion(&info->waitevent);
info->waiting_channel = channel;
[....]
ret = vmbus_post_msg(msg, sizeof(struct vmbus_channel_gpadl_teardown),
true);
if (ret)
goto post_msg_err;
wait_for_completion(&info->waitevent);
[....]
}
The completion is signaled from vmbus_ongpadl_torndown(), which gets called when
the corresponding message is received from the host, which apparently never happens
in that case.
This patch works around the issue by restoring the first mentioned message sequence
for older hosts
