Changes since v1: - '[PATCH 2/3] Drivers: hv: vmbus: introduce vmbus_acpi_remove' was dropped in favor of Jake's '[PATCH v2 1/1] drivers:hv:vmbus drivers:hv:vmbus Allow for more than one MMIO range for children'. It is required to make unload/load work on Gen2 instances. - Added '[PATCH v2 3/5] drivers: hv: Teardown synthetic interrupt controllers on module unload' to deal with synic. - Added '[PATCH v2 4/5] clockevents: export clockevents_unbind_device instead of clockevents_unbind'. It is not for Hyper-V subsystem, however, it is a pre-requisite for 'PATCH 5/5' and a natural part of this series. CC: Thomas Gleixner as the subsystem maintainer. - Added '[PATCH v2 5/5] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Teardown clockevent devices on module unload' to deal with clockevent devices. Patches are supposed to be applied on top of current char-misc-next tree. Original description: It is possible (since 93e5bd06a953: "Drivers: hv: Make the vmbus driver unloadable") to unload hv_vmbus driver if no other devices are connected. 1aec169673d7: "x86: Hyperv: Cleanup the irq mess" fixed doulble interrupt gate setup. However, if we try to unload hv_vmbus and then load it back crashes in different places of vmbus driver occur on both unload and second load paths. Address those I saw in my testing. Not everything is fixed though. MCE was hit once on Generation2 instance and I neither understand what caused it nor do I know the way to reproduce it. Anyway, here is the log: [ 204.846255] mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 0: Machine Check Exception: 4 Bank 0: b2000000c0020001 [ 204.846675] mce: [Hardware Error]: TSC 6b5cd64bc8 [ 204.846675] mce: [Hardware Error]: PROCESSOR 0:306e4 TIME 1421944123 SOCKET 0 APIC 0 microcode ffffffff [ 204.846675] mce: [Hardware Error]: Run the above through 'mcelog --ascii' [ 204.846675] mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check: Processor context corrupt [ 204.846675] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal Machine check [ 204.846675] Kernel Offset: 0x0 from 0xffffffff81000000 (relocation range: 0xffffffff80000000-0xffffffff9fffffff) [ 204.846675] Rebooting in 30 seconds..
