Yes, I know including linux/version.h often is unwanted, but the spec does recommend using the actual OS version in the guest ID Yes, this will be offensive again when Linux is at version 181.0, but we might have found a better solution by then :-) drivers/hv/hyperv_vmbus.h | 20 ++++++++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)diff --git a/drivers/hv/hyperv_vmbus.h b/drivers/hv/hyperv_vmbus.h index b9426a6..cc0c3f0 100644 --- a/drivers/hv/hyperv_vmbus.h +++ b/drivers/hv/hyperv_vmbus.h@@ -29,6 +29,7 @@ #include <asm/sync_bitops.h> #include <linux/atomic.h> #include <linux/hyperv.h> +#include <linux/version.h> /* * The below CPUID leaves are present if VersionAndFeatures.HypervisorPresent@@ -410,10 +411,21 @@ enum { #define HV_PRESENT_BIT 0x80000000 -#define HV_LINUX_GUEST_ID_LO 0x00000000 -#define HV_LINUX_GUEST_ID_HI 0xB16B00B5 -#define HV_LINUX_GUEST_ID (((u64)HV_LINUX_GUEST_ID_HI << 32) | \ - HV_LINUX_GUEST_ID_LO) +/* Linux vendor ID allocated by Microsoft */ +#define HV_LINUX_GUEST_ID_VENDOR 0xB16B + +/* Creating a guest ID conforming to the encoding recommended by + * Microsoft, with variant and build fixed to 0
We could use the kernel build number here as well, if we really wanted it, right? Otherwise, I like this patch, KY, any objection to me taking it? thanks, greg k-h
