What am I missing.
I should have made it clearer that I'm not fixing a bug here, it just looks logical to me to put synic pages allocation (hv_synic_alloc()) before we register vmbus_isr() handler which uses these pages. You're absolutely right and this handler won't be executed with unallocated pages now, this patch was rather future-proof. > > Regards, > > K.
