commit b46b4a8a57c377b72a98c7930a9f6969d2d4784e upstream. There could be instances where a system stall prevents the timesync packets to be consumed. And this might lead to more than one packet pending in the ring buffer. Current code empties one packet per callback and it might be a stale one. So drain all the packets from ring buffer on each callback.

Fixed this manually for 4.19.y by using PAGE_SIZE instead. If there are multiple messages in the host-to-guest ringbuffer of the TimeSync device, 4.19.y only handles 1 message, and later the host puts new messages into the ringbuffer without signaling the guest because the ringbuffer is not empty, causing a "hung" ringbuffer. Backported the mainline fix for this issue. ] Signed-off-by: Dexuan Cui <decui@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
