Better to check all the others, e.g in balloon_probe(), it call
hv_set_drvdata() after vmbus_open() and dose several datas setups
in the
middle. If balloon_onchannelcallback() could be called before
hv_set_drvdata(), the code looks wrong.
Jason,
For all other device types, the guest initiates the communication
with the host and potentially
negotiates appropriate (supported) version with the host. For the
services packaged in the util
driver, the flow is a little different - the host pushes the version
information into the guest. So,
the fix Dexuan made is only needed in the util driver.
Regards,
K. Y
Thanks, so you mean for other device, it won't get any interrupt before
guest negotiate the version with host?
Thanks
