Unless I'm missing something, there's no need to disable IRQs, i.e. this can be
kfifo_in_spinlocked_noirqsave() and the later patch can use spin_lock() instead
of spin_lock_irqsave().  The only calls to hv_tlb_flush_enqueue() are from
kvm_hv_hypercall(), i.e. it's always called from process context.

Unnecessary newline.

What about "reset" or "purge" instead of "empty"?  "empty" is often used as query,
e.g. list_empty(), it took me a second to realize this is a command.

Missing newline.

One too many newlines.

It might be worth adding a comment to call out that emptying the FIFO _after_ the
TLB flush is ok, because it's impossible for the CPU to insert TLB entries for the
guest while running in the host.  At first glance, it looks like this (and the
existing similar pattern in vcpu_enter_guest()) has a race where it could miss a
TLB flush.

Definitely not required, e.g. kvm_vcpu_flush_tlb_all() doesn't have a similar
comment.  I think it's just the existence of the FIFO that made me pause.

Rather than expose kvm_vcpu_flush_tlb_guest() to Hyper-V, what about implementing
this in a similar way to how way KVM-on-HyperV implements remote TLB flushes?  I.e.
fall back to kvm_vcpu_flush_tlb_guest() if the precise flush "fails".

I don't mind exposing kvm_vcpu_flush_tlb_guest(), but burying the calls inside
Hyper-V code makes it difficult to see the relationship between KVM_REQ_HV_TLB_FLUSH
and KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH_GUEST.

And as a minor bonus, that also helps document that kvm_hv_vcpu_flush_tlb() doesn't
yet support precise flushing.

E.g.

	if (kvm_check_request(KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH_GUEST, vcpu)) {
		kvm_vcpu_flush_tlb_guest(vcpu);
	} else if (kvm_check_request(KVM_REQ_HV_TLB_FLUSH, vcpu)) {
		/*
		 * Fall back to a "full" guest flush if Hyper-V's precise
		 * flushing fails.
		 */
		if (kvm_hv_vcpu_flush_tlb(vcpu))
			kvm_vcpu_flush_tlb_guest(vcpu);
	}


int kvm_hv_vcpu_flush_tlb(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
{
	struct kvm_vcpu_hv_tlb_flush_fifo *tlb_flush_fifo;
	struct kvm_vcpu_hv *hv_vcpu = to_hv_vcpu(vcpu);

	if (!hv_vcpu)
		return -EINVAL;

	tlb_flush_fifo = &hv_vcpu->tlb_flush_fifo;

	kfifo_reset_out(&tlb_flush_fifo->entries);

	/* Precise flushing isn't implemented yet. */
	return -EOPNOTSUPP;
}
