There are two methods for signaling the host: the monitor page mechanism and hypercalls. The monitor page mechanism is used by performance critical channels (storage, networking, etc.) because it provides improved throughput. However, latency is increased. Monitor pages are allocated to these channels. Monitor pages are not allocated to channels that do not use the monitor page mechanism. Therefore, these channels do not have a valid monitor id or valid monitor page data. In these cases, some of the "_show" functions return incorrect data. They return an invalid monitor id and data that is beyond the bounds of the hv_monitor_page array fields. The "channel->offermsg.monitor_allocated" value can be used to determine whether monitor pages have been allocated to a channel. Add "is_visible()" callback functions for the device-level and channel-level attribute groups. These functions will hide the monitor sysfs files when the monitor mechanism is not used. Remove ".default_attributes" from "vmbus_chan_attrs" and create a channel-level attribute group. These changes allow the new "is_visible()" callback function to be applied to the channel-level attributes. Call "sysfs_create_group()" in "vmbus_add_channel_kobj()" to create the channel's sysfs files. Add a new function, “vmbus_remove_channel_attr_group()”, and call it in "free_channel()" to remove the channel's sysfs files when the channel is closed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
