The current implementation of hv_compose_msi_msg() is incompatible with the new functionality that allows changing the vCPU a VMBus channel will interrupt: if this function always calls hv_pci_onchannelcallback() in the polling loop, the interrupt going to a different CPU could cause hv_pci_onchannelcallback() to be running simultaneously in a tasklet, which will break. The current code also has a problem in that it is not synchronized with vmbus_reset_channel_cb(): hv_compose_msi_msg() could be accessing the ring buffer via the call of hv_pci_onchannelcallback() well after the time that vmbus_reset_channel_cb() has finished. Fix these issues as follows. Disable the channel tasklet before entering the polling loop in hv_compose_msi_msg() and re-enable it when done. This will prevent hv_pci_onchannelcallback() from running in a tasklet on a different CPU. Moreover, poll by always calling hv_pci_onchannelcallback(), but check the channel callback function for NULL and invoke the callback within a sched_lock critical section. This will prevent hv_compose_msi_msg() from accessing the ring buffer after vmbus_reset_channel_cb() has acquired the sched_lock spinlock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
