2015-01-25hv: hv_fcopy: drop the obsolete message on transfer failureDexuan Cui1-0/+27
In the case the user-space daemon crashes, hangs or is killed, we need to down the semaphore, otherwise, after the daemon starts next time, the obsolete data in fcopy_transaction.message or fcopy_transaction.fcopy_msg will be used immediately.

2014-07-17Drivers: hv: hv_fcopy: fix a race condition for SMP guestDexuan Cui1-1/+1
We should schedule the 5s "timer work" before starting the data transfer, otherwise, the data transfer code may finish so fast on another virtual cpu that when the code(fcopy_write()) trying to cancel the 5s "timer work" can occasionally fail because the "timer work" may haven't been scheduled yet and as a result the fcopy process will be aborted wrongly by fcopy_work_func() in 5s. Thank Liz Zhang <lizzha@microsoft.com> for the initial investigation on the bug.

2014-02-18Drivers: hv: Implement the file copy serviceK. Y. Srinivasan1-0/+414
Implement the file copy service for Linux guests on Hyper-V. This permits the host to copy a file (over VMBUS) into the guest. This facility is part of "guest integration services" supported on the Windows platform. Here is a link that provides additional details on this functionality: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn464282.aspx In V1 version of the patch I have addressed comments from Olaf Hering <olaf@aepfle.de> and Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> In V2 version of this patch I did some minor cleanup (making some globals static). In V4 version of the patch I have addressed all of Olaf's most recent set of comments/concerns. In V5 version of the patch I had addressed Greg's most recent comments. I would like to thank Greg for suggesting that I use misc device; it has significantly simplified the code. In V6 version of the patch I have cleaned up error message based on Olaf's comments. I have also rebased the patch based on the current tip. In this version of the patch, I have addressed the latest comments from Greg. Signed-off-by: K. Y.
