Y. Srinivasan" <kys@...rosoft.com> Subject: [PATCH V2 01/12] Drivers: hv: vss: run only on supported host versions From: Olaf Hering <olaf@...fle.de> The Backup integration service on WS2012 has appearently trouble to negotiate with a guest which does not support the provided util version. Currently the VSS driver supports only version 5/0. A WS2012 offers only version 1/x and 3/x, and vmbus_prep_negotiate_resp correctly returns an empty icframe_vercnt/icmsg_vercnt. But the host ignores that and continues to send ICMSGTYPE_NEGOTIATE messages. The result are weird errors during boot and general misbehaviour. Check the Windows version to work around the host bug, skip hv_vss_init on WS2012 and older. Signed-off-by: Olaf Hering <olaf@...fle.de> Signed-off-by: K. Y.
