From e17acbd7b5831a07b7582a1cb1cddb38ea12b2f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "K. Y. Srinivasan" Date: Thu, 16 Jan 2014 11:59:58 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Don't timeout during the initial connection with host commit 269f979467cf49f2ea8132316c1f00f8c9678f7c upstream. When the guest attempts to connect with the host when there may already be a connection with the host (as would be the case during the kdump/kexec path), it is difficult to guarantee timely response from the host. Starting with WS2012 R2, the host supports this ability to re-connect with the host (explicitly to support kexec). Prior to responding to the guest, the host needs to ensure that device states based on the previous connection to the host have been properly torn down. This may introduce unbounded delays. To deal with this issue, don't do a timed wait during the initial connect with the host. Signed-off-by: K. Y.
