Michael Kelley e83dcf255a Drivers: hv: vmbus: Increase wait time for VMbus unload
[ Upstream commit 77db0ec8b7764cb9b09b78066ebfd47b2c0c1909 ]

When running in Azure, disks may be connected to a Linux VM with
read/write caching enabled. If a VM panics and issues a VMbus
UNLOAD request to Hyper-V, the response is delayed until all dirty
data in the disk cache is flushed.  In extreme cases, this flushing
can take 10's of seconds, depending on the disk speed and the amount
of dirty data. If kdump is configured for the VM, the current 10 second
timeout in vmbus_wait_for_unload() may be exceeded, and the UNLOAD
complete message may arrive well after the kdump kernel is already
running, causing problems.  Note that no problem occurs if kdump is
not enabled because Hyper-V waits for the cache flush before doing
a reboot through the BIOS/UEFI code.

Fix this problem by increasing the timeout in vmbus_wait_for_unload()
to 100 seconds. Also output periodic messages so that if anyone is
watching the serial console, they won't think the VM is completely
hung.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
