commit ce664331b2487a5d244a51cbdd8cb54f866fbe5d upstream.
When vmballoon_vmci_init() sets a doorbell using VMCI_DOORBELL_SET, for
some reason it does not consider the status and looks at the result.
However, the hypervisor does not update the result - it updates the
status. This might cause VMCI doorbell not to be enabled, resulting in
degraded performance.

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.
