Subject: [PATCH 6.12] uio_hv_generic: Set event for all channels on the device
Date: Sat, 15 Nov 2025 14:27:30 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251115085730.2197-1-namjain@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
From: Long Li <longli@microsoft.com>
Hyper-V may offer a non latency sensitive device with subchannels without
monitor bit enabled. The decision is entirely on the Hyper-V host not
configurable within guest.
When a device has subchannels, also signal events for the subchannel
if its monitor bit is disabled.
This patch also removes the memory barrier when monitor bit is enabled
as it is not necessary. The memory barrier is only needed between
setting up interrupt mask and calling vmbus_set_event() when monitor
bit is disabled.
This is a backport of the upstream commit
d062463edf17 ("uio_hv_generic: Set event for all channels on the device")
with minor modifications to resolve merge conflicts.
Original change was not a fix, but it needs to be backported to fix a
NULL pointer crash resulting from missing interrupt mask setting.
Commit 37bd91f22794 ("uio_hv_generic: Let userspace take care of interrupt mask")
removed the default setting of interrupt_mask for channels (including
subchannels) in the uio_hv_generic driver, as it relies on the user space
to take care of managing it. This approach works fine when user space
can control this setting using the irqcontrol interface provided for uio
devices. Support for setting the interrupt mask through this interface for
subchannels came only after commit d062463edf17 ("uio_hv_generic: Set event
for all channels on the device"). On older kernels, this change is not
present. With uio_hv_generic no longer setting the interrupt_mask, and
userspace not having the capability to set it, it remains unset,
and interrupts can come for the subchannels, which can result in a crash
in hv_uio_channel_cb. Backport the change to older kernels, where this
change was not present, to allow userspace to set the interrupt mask
properly for subchannels. Additionally, this patch also adds certain
checks for primary vs subchannels in the hv_uio_channel_cb, which can
gracefully handle these two cases and prevent the NULL pointer crashes.
