Kdump keeps biting. Turns out CHANNELMSG_UNLOAD_RESPONSE is always
delivered to the CPU which was used for initial contact or to CPU0
depending on host version. vmbus_wait_for_unload() doesn't account for
the fact that in case we're crashing on some other CPU we won't get the
CHANNELMSG_UNLOAD_RESPONSE message and our wait on the current CPU will
never end.
Do the following:
1) Check for completion_done() in the loop. In case interrupt handler is
still alive we'll get the confirmation we need.
2) Read message pages for all CPUs message page as we're unsure where
CHANNELMSG_UNLOAD_RESPONSE is going to be delivered to. We can race with
still-alive interrupt handler doing the same, add cmpxchg() to
vmbus_signal_eom() to not lose CHANNELMSG_UNLOAD_RESPONSE message.
3) Cleanup message pages on all CPUs. This is required (at least for the
current CPU as we're clearing CPU0 messages now but we may want to bring
up additional CPUs on crash) as new messages won't be delivered till we
consume what's pending. On boot we'll place message pages somewhere else
and we won't be able to read stale messages.

We have to call vmbus_initiate_unload() on crash to make kdump work but
the crash can also be happening in interrupt (e.g. Sysrq + c results in
such) where we can't schedule or the following will happen:

Just skipping the wait (and even adding some random wait here) won't help:
to make host-side magic working we're supposed to receive CHANNELMSG_UNLOAD

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.

A work item in vmbus_connection.work_queue can sleep, waiting for a new

the new message will be handled in the same workqueue, but since work items
in the workqueue is serialized, we actually have no chance to handle
the new message if the current work item is sleeping -- as as result, the
current work item will hang forever.

Commit 4b2f9abea5 ("staging: hv: convert channel_mgmt.c to not call
osd_schedule_callback")' was written under an assumption that we never receive
Rescind offer while we're still processing the initial Offer request. However,
the issue we fixed in 04a258c162 could be caused by this assumption not
always being true.
In particular, we need to protect against the following:
1) Receiving a Rescind offer after we do queue_work() for processing an Offer
request and before we actually enter vmbus_process_offer(). work.func points
to vmbus_process_offer() at this moment and in vmbus_onoffer_rescind() we do
another queue_work() without a check so we'll enter vmbus_process_offer()
twice.
2) Receiving a Rescind offer after we enter vmbus_process_offer() and
especially after we set >state = CHANNEL_OPEN_STATE. Many things can go
wrong in that case, e.g. we can call free_channel() while we're still using
it.
Implement the required protection by changing work->func at the very end of
vmbus_process_offer() and checking work->func in vmbus_onoffer_rescind(). In
case we receive rescind offer during or before vmbus_process_offer() is done
we set rescind flag to true and we check it at the end of vmbus_process_offer()
so such offer will not get lost.
