[PATCH 1/1] x86/hyperv: Update comment in hyperv_cleanup()
From: mhkelley58
Date: Mon Feb 02 2026 - 11:49:00 EST
From: Michael Kelley <mhklinux@xxxxxxxxxxx>
The comment in hyperv_cleanup() became out-of-date as a result of
commit c8ed0812646e ("x86/hyperv: Use direct call to hypercall-page").
Update the comment. No code or functional change.

- * Reset hypercall page reference before reset the page,
- * let hypercall operations fail safely rather than
- * panic the kernel for using invalid hypercall page
+ * Reset hv_hypercall_pg before resetting it in the hypervisor.
+ * hv_set_hypercall_pg(NULL) is not used because at this point in the
+ * panic path other CPUs have been stopped, causing static_call_update()
+ * to hang. So resetting hv_hypercall_pg to cause hypercalls to fail
+ * cleanly is only operative on 32-bit builds. But this is OK as it is
+ * just a preventative measure to ease detecting a hypercall being made
