Subject: [PATCH v3] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Expose monitor data when channel uses
monitor pages
There are two methods for signaling the host: the monitor page mechanism
and hypercalls. The monitor page mechanism is used by performance
critical channels (storage, networking, etc.) because it provides
improved throughput. However, latency is increased. Monitor pages are
allocated to these channels.
Monitor pages are not allocated to channels that do not use the monitor
page mechanism. Therefore, these channels do not have a valid monitor id
or valid monitor page data. In these cases, some of the "_show"
functions return incorrect data. They return an invalid monitor id and
data that is beyond the bounds of the hv_monitor_page array fields.
The "channel->offermsg.monitor_allocated" value can be used to determine
whether monitor pages have been allocated to a channel.
Move the device-level monitor page attributes to a separate
attribute_group struct. If the channel uses the monitor page mechanism,
set up the sysfs files for these attributes in vmbus_device_register().
Move the channel-level monitor page attributes to a separate
attribute_group struct. If the channel uses the monitor page mechanism,
set up the sysfs files for these attributes in vmbus_add_channel_kobj().

Changes in v3:
The monitor "_show" functions no longer return an error when a channel
does not use the monitor page mechanism. Instead, the monitor page sysfs
files are created only when a channel uses the monitor page mechanism.
This change was suggested by G. Kroah-Hartman.
Note: this patch was originally patch 2/2 in a patchset. Patch 1/2 has
already been added to char-misc-testing, so I'm not resending it.
Changes in v2:
- Changed the return value for cases where monitor_allocated is not set
to "-EINVAL".
- Updated the commit message to provide more details about the monitor
page mechanism.
- Updated the sysfs documentation to describe the new return value.
