Background: userspace daemons registration protocol for Hyper-V utilities drivers has two steps: 1) daemon writes its own version to kernel 2) kernel reads it and replies with module version at this point we consider the handshake procedure being completed and we do hv_poll_channel() transitioning the utility device to HVUTIL_READY state. At this point we're ready to handle messages from kernel. When hvutil_transport is in HVUTIL_TRANSPORT_CHARDEV mode we have a single buffer for outgoing message. hvutil_transport_send() puts to this buffer and till the buffer is cleared with hvt_op_read() returns -EFAULT to all consequent calls. Host<->guest protocol guarantees there is no more than one request at a time and we will not get new requests till we reply to the previous one so this single message buffer is enough. Now to the race. When we finish negotiation procedure and send kernel module version to userspace with hvutil_transport_send() it goes into the above mentioned buffer and if the daemon is slow enough to read it from there we can get a collision when a request from the host comes, we won't be able to put anything to the buffer so the request will be lost. To solve the issue we need to know when the negotiation is really done (when the version message is read by the daemon) and transition to HVUTIL_READY state after this happens. Implement a callback on read to support this. Old style netlink communication is not affected by the change, we don't really know when these messages are delivered but we don't have a single message buffer there.
