Y. Srinivasan" <kys@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 22 Dec 2016 16:54:01 -0800 Subject: Drivers: hv: util: kvp: Fix a rescind processing issue From: K. Y. Srinivasan <kys@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 5a66fecbf6aa528e375cbebccb1061cc58d80c84 upstream. KVP may use a char device to support the communication between the user level daemon and the driver. When the KVP channel is rescinded we need to make sure that the char device is fully cleaned up before we can process a new KVP offer from the host. Implement this logic. Signed-off-by: K. Y.
