[PATCH 1/1] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Simplify allocation of vmbus_evt

From: Michael Kelley

Date: Wed Feb 18 2026 - 12:03:11 EST


From: Michael Kelley <mhklinux@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The per-cpu variable vmbus_evt is currently dynamically allocated. It's
only 8 bytes, so just allocate it statically to simplify and save a few
lines of code.
