4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Olaf Hering <olaf@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 549e658a0919e355a2b2144dc380b3729bef7f3e upstream.
Till recently the expected length of bytes read by the
daemon did depend on the context. It was either hv_start_fcopy or
hv_do_fcopy. The daemon had a buffer size of two pages, which was much
larger than needed.
Now the expected length of bytes read by the
daemon changed slightly. For START_FILE_COPY it is still the size of
hv_start_fcopy. But for WRITE_TO_FILE and the other operations it is as
large as the buffer that arrived via vmbus. In case of WRITE_TO_FILE
that is slightly larger than a struct hv_do_fcopy. Since the buffer in
the daemon was still larger everything was fine.
Currently, the daemon reads only what is actually needed.
The new buffer layout is as large as a struct hv_do_fcopy, for the
WRITE_TO_FILE operation. Since the kernel expects a slightly larger
size, hvt_op_read will return -EINVAL because the daemon will read
slightly less than expected. Address this by restoring the expected
buffer size in case of WRITE_TO_FILE.
Fixes: 'c7e490fc23eb ("Drivers: hv: fcopy: convert to hv_utils_transport")'
Fixes: '3f2baa8a7d2e ("Tools: hv: update buffer handling in hv_fcopy_daemon")'
