This doesn't compile:

  CC [M]  net/vmw_vsock/hyperv_transport.o
net/vmw_vsock/hyperv_transport.c:58:28: error: ‘HV_HYP_PAGE_SIZE’ undeclared here (not in a function); did you mean ‘HV_MESSAGE_SIZE’?
 #define HVS_SEND_BUF_SIZE (HV_HYP_PAGE_SIZE - sizeof(struct vmpipe_proto_header))
                            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
