Subject: [PATCH v2 00/15] Introduce /dev/mshv drivers
This series introduces support for creating and running guest machines
while running on the Microsoft Hypervisor. [0]
This is done via an IOCTL interface accessed through /dev/mshv, similar to
/dev/kvm. Another series introducing this support was previously posted.
[1]
These interfaces support VMMs running in:
1. The root patition - provided in the mshv_root module, and
2. VTL 2 - provided in the mshv_vtl module [2]
Patches breakdown
-----------------
The first 7 patches are refactoring and adding some helper functions.
They provide some benefit on their own and could be applied independently
as cleanup patches.
Patches 8-12 just set things up for the driver code to come. These are very
small. They come first so that the remaining patches are more self-contained.
The final 3 patches are the meat of the series:
- Patch 13 contains new header files used by the driver.
These are designed to mirror the ABI headers exported by Hyper-V. This is
done to avoid polluting hyperv-tlfs.h and help track changes to the ABIs
that are still unstable. (See FAQ below).
- Patch 14 conditionally includes these new header files into mshyperv.h
and linux/hyperv.h, in order to be able to use these files in the new
drivers while remaining independent from hyperv-tlfs.h.
- Patch 15 contains the new driver code located in drivers/hv. This is a
large amount of code and new files, but it is mostly self-contained and
all within drivers/hv - apart from the IOCTL interface itself in uapi.
Patch 15 is rather big and has bounced back from some mailing lists. If you

FAQ on include/uapi/hyperv/*.h
------------------------------
Q:
Why not just add these definitions to hyperv-tlfs.h?
A:
The intention of hyperv-tlfs.h is to contain stable definitions documented
in the public TLFS document. These new definitions don't fit that criteria,
so they should be separate.
Q:
Why are these files named hvgdk.h, hvgdk_mini.h, hvhdk.h and hvhdk_mini.h?
A:
The precise meaning of the names reflects conventions used internally at
Microsoft.
Naming them this way makes it easy to find where particular Hyper-V
definitions come from, and check their correctness.
It also facilitates the future work of automatically generating these files.
Q:
Why are they in uapi?
A:
In short, to keep things simple. There are many definitions needed in both
the kernel and the VMM in userspace. Separating them doesn't serve much
purpose, and makes it more laborious to import definitions from Hyper-V
code.
Q:
The new headers redefine many things that are already in hyperv-tlfs.h - why?
A:
Some definitions are extended compared to what is documented in the TLFS.
In order to avoid adding undocumented or unstable definitions to hyperv-tlfs.h,
the new headers must compile independently.
Therefore, the new headers must redefine many things in hyperv-tlfs.h in order
to compile.

[0] "Hyper-V" is more well-known, but it really refers to the whole stack
including the hypervisor and other components that run in Windows
kernel and userspace.
