Set scsi_device->no_write_same because the host does not support it. Also blacklist WRITE_SAME to avoid (and log) accident usage. If the guest uses the ext4 filesystem, storvsc hangs while it prints these messages in an endless loop: ... [ 161.459523] hv_storvsc vmbus_0_1: cmd 0x41 scsi status 0x2 srb status 0x6 [ 161.462157] sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] [ 161.463135] Sense Key : No Sense [current] [ 161.464983] sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] [ 161.465899] Add.

WRITE_SAME isnt really supported by both versions, so disable the command usage globally.
