This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

Drivers: hv: vmbus: finally fix hv_need_to_signal_on_read()

to my char-misc git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git
in the char-misc-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: Drivers: hv: vmbus: finally fix hv_need_to_signal_on_read()

Commit a389fcfd2cb5 ("Drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix signaling logic in hv_need_to_signal_on_read()")
added the proper mb(), but removed the test "prev_write_sz < pending_sz" when making the signal decision.

As a result, the guest can signal the host unnecessarily, and then the host can throttle the guest because the host thinks the guest is buggy or malicious; finally the user running stress test can perceive intermittent freeze of the guest.

This patch brings back the test, and properly handles the in-place consumption APIs used by NetVSC (see get_next_pkt_raw(), put_pkt_raw() and commit_rd_index()).

Fixes a389fcfd2cb5 ("Drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix signaling logic in

hv_need_to_signal_on_read()")
