Starting with Win8, the host supports multiple sub-channels for a given
device. As in the past, the initial channel offer specifies the device and
is associated with both the type and the instance GUIDs. For performance
critical devices, the host may support multiple sub-channels. The sub-channels
share the same type and instance GUID as the primary channel. The number of
sub-channels offerrred to the guest depends on the number of virtual CPUs
assigned to the guest. The guest can request the creation of these sub-channels
and once created and opened, the guest can distribute the traffic across all
the channels (the primary and the sub-channels). A request sent on a sub-channel
will have the response delivered on the same sub-channel.
At channel (sub-channel) creation we bind the channel interrupt to a CPU and
with this sub-channel support we will be able to spread the interrupt load
of a given device across all available CPUs.

If memory hot-add fails with the error -EEXIST, then this is a permanent

On Hyper-V it will be very efficient to use 2M allocations in the guest as this
makes the ballooning protocol with the host that much more efficient. Hyper-V
uses page ranges (start pfn : number of pages) to specify memory being moved
around and with 2M pages this encoding can be very efficient. However, when
memory is returned to the guest, the host does not guarantee any granularity.
To deal with this issue, split the page soon after a successful 2M allocation
so that this memory can potentially be freed as 4K pages.
If 2M allocations fail, we revert to 4K allocations.
In this version of the patch, based on the feedback from Michal Hocko
<mhocko@suse.cz>, I have added some additional commentary to the patch

This driver supports host initiated backup of the guest. On Windows guests,
the host can generate application consistent backups using the Windows VSS
framework. On Linux, we ensure that the backup will be file system consistent.
This driver allows the host to initiate a "Freeze" operation on all the mounted
file systems in the guest. Once the mounted file systems in the guest are frozen,
the host snapshots the guest's file systems. Once this is done, the guest's file
systems are "thawed".
This driver has a user-level component (daemon) that invokes the appropriate
operation on all the mounted file systems in response to the requests from
the host. The duration for which the guest is frozen is very short - a few seconds.
During this interval, the diff disk is comitted.

Add the basic balloon driver. Windows hosts dynamically manage the guest
memory allocation via a combination memory hot add and ballooning. Memory
hot add is used to grow the guest memory upto the maximum memory that can be
allocatted to the guest. Ballooning is used to both shrink as well as expand
up to the max memory. Supporting hot add needs additional support from the
host. We will support hot add when this support is available. For now,
by setting the VM startup memory to the VM max memory, we can use
ballooning alone to dynamically manage memory allocation amongst
competing guests on a given host.

There are two reasons we need to use x86_hyper instead of
query_hypervisor_presence():
- Not only hyperv but also other hypervisors such as kvm would set
X86_FEATURE_HYTPERVISOR, so query_hypervisor_presence() will return true even
in kvm. This may cause extra delay of 5 seconds before failing the probing in
kvm guest.
- The hypervisor has been detected in init_hypervisor(), so no need to do the
work again.

We wait for about 5 seconds for the success of the hyperv registration even if
we were not in hyperv platform. This is suboptimal, so the patch check the cpuid
in the beginning of hv_acpi_init() instead of in vmbus_bus_init() to fail the
probing immediately.

- extcon driver subsystem created out of the old Android staging switch

This patch (as1501) adds the two missing arguments, and adjusts the
only two places in the kernel where the function is called. A
follow-on patch will add a third caller that does utilize the new
capabilities.
The two conversion routines are still annoyingly inconsistent in the
