Backport patches for linux 4.9

[m4h3]

Hello, I'm trying to get mellanox drivers working on 4.9.76 branch for Azure accelerated Networking. This is what happens in a "Standard_D16_v3" instance.

To get AN for Azure working on 4.9 you will have to backport the Hyper-V device drivers (vmbus, storvsc, netvsc, and especially pci_hyperv) as well as the Mellanox VF drivers (mlx4_core and mlx4_en) from 4.14.

Please replace your drivers/pci/host/pci-hyperv.c with the latest version in the mainline and see what will happen: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/pci/host/pci-hyperv.c

I remember the latest version has a fix for the 0xc0350005 error you're seeing.

Hyper-V and Mellanox driver works fine with v4.9, after applying the patches mentioned in below link: https://lkml.org/lkml/fancy/2019/1/17/380
