Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] uio_hv_generic: Fix ring buffer sysfs creation path

Hi,
PFB change logs:

Changes since v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250318061558.3294-1-namjain@linux.microsoft.com/
Addressed Greg's comments:
* Split the original patch into two.
* Updated the commit message to explain the problem scenario.
* Added comments for new APIs in the kerneldoc format.
* Highlighted potential race conditions and explained why sysfs should not be created in the
  driver probe.

* Made minor changes to how the sysfs_update_group return value is handled.

Changes since v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250225052001.2225-1-namjain@linux.microsoft.com/
* Fixed race condition in setting channel->mmap_ring_buffer by
  introducing a new variable for visibility of sysfs (addressed Greg's
  comments)
* Used binary attribute fields instead of regular ones for initializing attribute_group.
* Make size of ring sysfs dynamic based on actual ring buffer's size.
* Preferred to keep mmap function in uio_hv_generic to give more control over ring's
  mmap functionality, since this is specific to uio_hv_generic driver.
* Remove spurious warning during sysfs creation in uio_hv_generic probe.
* Added comments in a couple of places.

Changes since RFC patch:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250214064351.8994-1-namjain@linux.microsoft.com/
* Different approach to solve the problem is proposed (credits to
  Michael Kelley).
* Core logic for sysfs creation moved out of uio_hv_generic, to VMBus
  drivers where rest of the sysfs attributes for a VMBus channel
  are defined. (addressed Greg's comments)
* Used attribute groups instead of sysfs_create* functions, and bundled
  ring attribute with other attributes for the channel sysfs.
