From 8d9560ebcc6448472b3afe8f36f37d6b0de8f5a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vitaly Kuznetsov Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2014 18:21:25 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Drivers: hv: kvp,vss: Fast propagation of userspace communication failure If we fail to send a message to userspace daemon with cn_netlink_send() there is no need to wait for userspace to reply as it is not going to happen. This happens when kvp or vss daemon is stopped after a successful handshake. Report HV_E_FAIL immediately and cancel the timeout job so host won't receive two failures. Use pr_warn() for VSS and pr_debug() for KVP deliberately as VSS request are rare and result in a failed backup. KVP requests are much more frequent after a successful handshake so avoid flooding logs. It would be nice to have an ability to de-negotiate with the host in case userspace daemon gets disconnected so we won't receive new requests. But I'm not sure it is possible.
