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

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix ring buffer signaling

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: Fix ring buffer signaling

Fix bugs in signaling the Hyper-V host when freeing space in the host->guest ring buffer:

1. The interrupt_mask must not be used to determine whether to signal on the host->guest ring buffer
2. The ring buffer write_index must be read (via hv_get_bytes_to_write) *after* pending_send_sz is read in order to avoid a race condition
3. Comparisons with pending_send_sz must treat the "equals" case as not-enough-space
4. Don't signal if the pending_send_sz feature is not present. Older versions of Hyper-V that don't implement this feature will poll.

Fixes 03bad714a161 ("vmbus: more host signalling avoidance")
