DoS protection conditions were altered in WS2016 and now it's easy to get -EAGAIN returned from vmbus_post_msg() (e.g. when we try changing MTU on a netvsc device in a loop). All vmbus_post_msg() callers don't retry the operation and we usually end up with a non-functional device or crash. While host's DoS protection conditions are unknown to me my tests show that it can take up to 10 seconds before the message is sent so doing udelay() is not an option, we really need to sleep. Almost all vmbus_post_msg() callers are ready to sleep but there is one special case: vmbus_initiate_unload() which can be called from interrupt/NMI context and we can't sleep there. I'm also not sure about the lonely vmbus_send_tl_connect_request() which has no in-tree users but its external users are most likely waiting for the host to reply so sleeping there is also appropriate.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
