Kelley <mikelley@microsoft.com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flags|needinfo?(mikelley@microsof | |t.com) | --- Comment #3 from Michael H. Kelley <mikelley@microsoft.com> --- Per the Hyper-V TLFS, the guest OS ID is required to be set before performing any Hyper-V related operations such as making hypercalls. The guest OS ID is not consumed anywhere within the Linux guest OS. There are a few situations where Hyper-V looks at the value of the guest OS ID and makes decisions about its behavior. The decisions could be based on whether the flag is set to indicate an open source operating system vs. Windows. In the specific case where the open source operating system is Linux, there is a Hyper-V behavior that is based on the Linux kernel version that is included in the guest OS ID. Hyper-V tries to avoid making decisions on info in the guest OS ID, but there are a few cases where correctly supporting certain old Linux kernel versions has been problematic without such a dependency. Is the patch in question visible somewhere that I can see it? I don't remember what this patch is about. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
