BTW, the patch went into char-misc.git's char-misc-linus branch 13 hours ago:
37c2578c0c40 ("Drivers: hv: vmbus: Offload the handling of channels to two workqueues")
linux-4.14.y (v4.14.85) lacks c2e5df616e1a ("vmbus: add per-channel sysfs info")
and the other related patches so this patch can't apply cleanly.
I suggest we cherry-pick all the related patches to linux-4.14.y in this order:
(Note: 37c2578c0c40 is in char-misc.git's char-misc-linus branch and is not in Linus's tree yet)
c2e5df616e1a ("vmbus: add per-channel sysfs info")
869b5567e12f ("vmbus: unregister device_obj->channels_kset")
6712cc9c2211 ("vmbus: don't return values for uninitalized channels")
50229128727f ("Drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix the offer_in_progress in vmbus_process_offer()")
37c2578c0c40 ("Drivers: hv: vmbus: Offload the handling of channels to two workqueues")
Alternatively, we can skip c2e5df616e1a ("vmbus: add per-channel sysfs info"), and then
please use the attached rebased patch for v4.14.85.
I prefer the first solution.
Thanks,
