Current code varies in how the size of the variable size input header for hypercalls is calculated when the input contains struct hv_vpset. Surprisingly, this variation is correct, as different hypercalls make different choices for what portion of struct hv_vpset is treated as part of the variable size input header. The Hyper-V TLFS is silent on these details, but the behavior has been confirmed with Hyper-V developers. To avoid future confusion about these differences, add comments to struct hv_vpset, and to hypercall call sites with input that contains a struct hv_vpset. The comments describe the overall situation and the calculation that should be used at each particular call site. No functional change as only comments are updated.

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 reStructuredText 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.
