Drivers: hv: vmbus: Replace the per-CPU channel lists with a global a…
…rray of channels When Hyper-V sends an interrupt to the guest, the guest has to figure out which channel the interrupt is associated with. Hyper-V sets a bit in a memory page that is shared with the guest, indicating a particular "relid" that the interrupt is associated with. The current Linux code then uses a set of per-CPU linked lists to map a given "relid" to a pointer to a channel structure. This design introduces a synchronization problem if the CPU that Hyper-V will interrupt for a certain channel is changed. If the interrupt comes on the "old CPU" and the channel was already moved to the per-CPU list of the "new CPU", then the relid -> channel mapping will fail and the interrupt is dropped. Similarly, if the interrupt comes on the new CPU but the channel was not moved to the per-CPU list of the new CPU, then the mapping will fail and the interrupt is dropped. Relids are integers ranging from 0 to 2047. The mapping from relids to channel structures can be done by setting up an array with 2048 entries, each entry being a pointer to a channel structure (hence total size ~16K bytes, which is not a problem). The array is global, so there are no per-CPU linked lists to update. The array can be searched and updated by loading from/storing to the array at the specified index. With no per-CPU data structures, the above mentioned synchronization problem is avoided and the relid2channel() function gets simpler.
