Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam
99f1c46011
netvsc_dma_map() and netvsc_dma_unmap() currently check the cp_partial
flag and adjust the page_count so that pagebuf entries for the RNDIS
portion of the message are skipped when it has already been copied into
a send buffer. But this adjustment has already been made by code in
netvsc_send(). The duplicate adjustment causes some pagebuf entries to
not be mapped. In a normal VM, this doesn't break anything because the
mapping doesn’t change the PFN. But in a Confidential VM,
dma_map_single() does bounce buffering and provides a different PFN.
Failing to do the mapping causes the wrong PFN to be passed to Hyper-V,
and various errors ensue.
Fix this by removing the duplicate adjustment in netvsc_dma_map() and
netvsc_dma_unmap().

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.
