* Drivers: hv: kvp,vss: Fast propagation of userspace communication failureVitaly Kuznetsov2014-11-261-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Drivers: hv: vss: Introduce timeout for communication with userspaceVitaly Kuznetsov2014-11-261-2/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | In contrast with KVP there is no timeout when communicating with userspace VSS daemon. In case it gets stuck performing freeze/thaw operation no message will be sent to the host so it will take very long (around 10 minutes) before backup fails. Introduce 10 second timeout using schedule_delayed_work(). Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
* connector: add portid to unicast in addition to broadcastingDavid Fries2014-02-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | This allows replying only to the requestor portid while still supporting broadcasting. Pass 0 to portid for the previous behavior.

* Drivers: hv: util: Correctly support ws2008R2 and earlierK. Y. Srinivasan2013-09-261-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The current code does not correctly negotiate the version numbers for the util driver when hosted on earlier hosts. The version numbers presented by this driver were not compatible with the version numbers supported by Windows Server 2008. Fix this problem. I would like to thank Olaf Hering (ohering@suse.com) for identifying the problem. Reported-by: Olaf Hering <ohering@suse.com> Signed-off-by: K. Y.

* Drivers: hv: util: Fix a bug in version negotiation code for util servicesK. Y. Srinivasan2013-07-261-12/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | The current code picked the highest version advertised by the host. WS2012 R2 has implemented a protocol version for KVP that is not compatible with prior protocol versions of KVP. Fix the bug in the current code by explicitly specifying the protocol version that the guest can support. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

* Drivers: hv: Add a new driver to support host initiated backupK. Y. Srinivasan2013-03-151-0/+287
This driver supports host initiated backup of the guest. On Windows guests, the host can generate application consistent backups using the Windows VSS framework. On Linux, we ensure that the backup will be file system consistent. This driver allows the host to initiate a "Freeze" operation on all the mounted file systems in the guest. Once the mounted file systems in the guest are frozen, the host snapshots the guest's file systems. Once this is done, the guest's file systems are "thawed". This driver has a user-level component (daemon) that invokes the appropriate operation on all the mounted file systems in response to the requests from the host. The duration for which the guest is frozen is very short - a few seconds. During this interval, the diff disk is comitted. In this version of the patch I have addressed the feedback from Olaf Herring. Also, some of the connector related issues have been fixed. Signed-off-by: K. Y.
