From 652594c7dfd9bf6392e3a727bc69d89a2562d953 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dexuan Cui Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2015 09:10:08 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] hv: run non-blocking message handlers in the dispatch tasklet A work item in vmbus_connection.work_queue can sleep, waiting for a new host message (usually it is some kind of "completion" message). Currently the new message will be handled in the same workqueue, but since work items in the workqueue is serialized, we actually have no chance to handle the new message if the current work item is sleeping -- as as result, the current work item will hang forever. K. Y. has posted the below fix to resolve the issue: Drivers: hv: vmbus: Perform device register in the per-channel work element Actually we can simplify the fix by directly running non-blocking message handlers in the dispatch tasklet (inspired by K. Y.). This patch is the fundamental change. The following 2 patches will simplify the message offering and rescind-offering handling a lot. Signed-off-by: Dexuan Cui Cc: K. Y.
