commit ba50bf1ce9a51fc97db58b96d01306aa70bc3979 upstream.

fc96df16a1ce is good and can already fix the "return stack garbage" issue,
but let's also improve hv_ringbuffer_get_debuginfo(), which would silently
return stack garbage, if people forget to check channel-&gt;state or
ring_info-&gt;ring_buffer, when using the function in the future.

Having an error check in the function would eliminate the potential risk.

Add a Fixes tag to indicate the patch depdendency.

Fixes: fc96df16a1ce ("Drivers: hv: vmbus: Return -EINVAL for the sys files for unopened channels")

<content type='text'>
commit 655296c8bbeffcf020558c4455305d597a73bde1 upstream.

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

1. The interrupt_mask must not be used to determine whether to signal
   on the host-&gt;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")

When iterating over incoming ring elements from the host, prefetch
the next descriptor so that it is cache hot.

Don't signal host if it has disabled interrupts for that
ring buffer. Check the feature bit to see if host supports
pending send size flag.

Don't need cached read index anymore now that packet iterator
is used. The iterator has the original read index until the
visible read_index is updated.

<content type='text'>
The function hv_signal_on_read was defined in hyperv.h and
only used in one place in ring_buffer code. Clearer to just
move it inline there.

With new iterator functions (and the double mapping) the ring buffer
read function can be greatly simplified.

Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of new char/misc driver drivers and features for
  4.12-rc1.

  There's lots of new drivers added this time around, new firmware
  drivers from Google, more auxdisplay drivers, extcon drivers, fpga
  drivers, and a bunch of other driver updates. Nothing major, except if
  you happen to have the hardware for these drivers, and then you will
  be happy :)

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  issues"
