One of the factors that can result in the host concluding that a given
guest in mounting a DOS attack is if the guest generates interrupts
to the host when the host is not expecting it. If these "spurious"
interrupts reach a certain rate, the host can throttle the guest to
minimize the impact. The host computation of the "expected number
of interrupts" is strictly based on the ring transitions. Until
the host logic is fixed, base the guest logic to interrupt solely
on the ring state.

Make it possible to always use a single memcpy() or to provide a direct

vmbus_open() function:
- check that ring sizes are PAGE_SIZE aligned (they are for all in-kernel
drivers now);
- kfree(open_info) on error only after we kzalloc() it (not an issue as it
is valid to call kfree(NULL);
- rename poorly named labels;
- use alloc_pages() instead of __get_free_pages() as we need struct page
pointer for future.

On Hyper-V, performance critical channels use the monitor
mechanism to signal the host when the guest posts mesages
for the host. This mechanism minimizes the hypervisor intercepts
and also makes the host more efficient in that each time the
host is woken up, it processes a batch of messages as opposed to
just one. The goal here is improve the throughput and this is at
the expense of increased latency.
Implement a mechanism to let the client driver decide if latency
is important.

There is a rare race when we remove an entry from the global list
hv_context.percpu_list[cpu] in hv_process_channel_removal() ->
percpu_channel_deq() -> list_del(): at this time, if vmbus_on_event() ->
process_chn_event() -> pcpu_relid2channel() is trying to query the list,
we can get the kernel fault.
Similarly, we also have the issue in the code path: vmbus_process_offer() ->
percpu_channel_enq().
We can resolve the issue by disabling the tasklet when updating the list.
The patch also moves vmbus_release_relid() to a later place where
the channel has been removed from the per-cpu and the global lists.

vmbus_teardown_gpadl() can result in infinite wait when it is called on 5
second timeout in vmbus_open(). The issue is caused by the fact that gpadl
teardown operation won't ever succeed for an opened channel and the timeout
isn't always enough. As a guest, we can always trust the host to respond to
our request (and there is nothing we can do if it doesn't).

Currently, there is only one user for hv_ringbuffer_read()/
hv_ringbuffer_peak() functions and the usage of these functions is:
- insecure as we drop ring_lock between them, someone else (in theory
only) can acquire it in between;
- non-optimal as we do a number of things (acquire/release the above
mentioned lock, calculate available space on the ring, ...) twice and
this path is performance-critical.
Remove hv_ringbuffer_peek() moving the logic from __vmbus_recvpacket() to

vmbus_recvpacket() and vmbus_recvpacket_raw() are almost identical but
there are two discrepancies:
1) vmbus_recvpacket() doesn't propagate errors from hv_ringbuffer_read()
which looks like it is not desired.
2) There is an error message printed in packetlen > bufferlen case in
vmbus_recvpacket(). I'm removing it as it is usless for users to see
such messages and /vmbus_recvpacket_raw() doesn't have it.

Currently we have two policies for deciding when to signal the host:
One based on the ring buffer state and the other based on what the
VMBUS client driver wants to do. Consider the case when the client
wants to explicitly control when to signal the host. In this case,
if the client were to defer signaling, we will not be able to signal
the host subsequently when the client does want to signal since the
ring buffer state will prevent the signaling. Implement logic to
have only one signaling policy in force for a given channel.

In the path vmbus_onoffer_rescind() -> vmbus_device_unregister() ->
device_unregister() -> ... -> __device_release_driver(), we can see for a
device without a driver loaded: dev->driver is NULL, so
dev->bus->remove(dev), namely vmbus_remove(), isn't invoked.
As a result, vmbus_remove() -> hv_process_channel_removal() isn't invoked
and some cleanups(like sending a CHANNELMSG_RELID_RELEASED message to the
host) aren't done.
We can demo the issue this way:
1. rmmod hv_utils;
2. disable the Heartbeat Integration Service in Hyper-V Manager and lsvmbus
shows the device disappears.
3. re-enable the Heartbeat in Hyper-V Manager and modprobe hv_utils, but
lsvmbus shows the device can't appear again.
This is because, the host thinks the VM hasn't released the relid, so can't
re-offer the device to the VM.
We can fix the issue by moving hv_process_channel_removal()
from vmbus_close_internal() to vmbus_device_release(), since the latter is
always invoked on device_unregister(), whether or not the dev has a driver
loaded.

To resolve the race, we can serialize them by disabling the tasklet when
