Enhance this message a bit. "Failed to set host visibility for new GPADL\n"
and also output the value of ret.

OK. This looks better. Thanks.

I can see the merits of transparently stashing the memory address and size
that will be needed by vmbus_teardown_gpadl(), so that the callers of
__vmbus_establish_gpadl() don't have to worry about it. But doing the
stashing transparently is somewhat messy.

Given that the callers are already have memory allocated to save the
GPADL handle, a little refactoring would make for a much cleaner solution.
Instead of having memory allocated for the 32-bit GPADL handle, callers
should allocate the slightly larger struct vmbus_gpadl that you've
defined below. The calling interfaces can be updated to take a pointer
to this structure instead of a pointer to the 32-bit GPADL handle, and
you can save the memory address and size right along with the GPADL
handle. This approach touches a few more files, but I think there are
only two callers outside of the channel management code -- netvsc
and hv_uio -- so it's not a big change.

Yes, this is a good suggestion and Will update in the next version.

Enhance this message a bit: "Failed to set host visibility in GPADL teardown\n".
Also output the returned error code to help in debugging any occurrences of
a failure
Yes, agree. Will update.

Thanks.
