Minimize failures in this function by pre-allocating the buffer for posting messages. The hypercall for posting the message can fail for a number of reasons: 1. Transient resource related issues 2. Buffer alignment 3. Buffer cannot span a page boundry We address issues 2 and 3 by preallocating a per-cpu page for the buffer. Transient resource related failures are handled by retrying by the callers of this function. This patch is based on the investigation done by Dexuan Cui <decui@microsoft.com>. I would like to thank Sitsofe Wheeler <sitsofe@yahoo.com> for reporting the issue and helping in debuggging. Signed-off-by: K. Y.
