[Patch v3] uio_hv_generic: Set event for all channels on the device

From: longli
Date: Mon Mar 10 2025 - 18:12:11 EST


From: Long Li <longli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hyper-V may offer a non latency sensitive device with subchannels without
monitor bit enabled. The decision is entirely on the Hyper-V host not
configurable within guest.

When a device has subchannels, also signal events for the subchannel
if its monitor bit is disabled.

This patch also removes the memory barrier when monitor bit is enabled
as it is not necessary. The memory barrier is only needed between
setting up interrupt mask and calling vmbus_set_event() when monitor
bit is disabled.

Change log
v2: Use vmbus_set_event() to avoid additional check on monitored bit
Lock vmbus_connection.channel_mutex when going through subchannels
v3: Add details in commit messsage on the memory barrier.
