With VMBus protocol 5.0, we're able to better support new features, e.g. running two or more VMBus drivers simultaneously in a single VM -- note: we can't simply load the current VMBus driver twice, instead, a secondary VMBus driver must be implemented. This patch adds the support for the new VMBus protocol, which is available on new Windows hosts, by: 1) We still use SINT2 for compatibility; 2) We must use Connection ID 4 for the Initiate Contact Message, and for subsequent messages, we must use the Message Connection ID field in the host-returned VersionResponse Message. Notes for developers of the secondary VMBus driver: 1) Must use VMBus protocol 5.0 as well; 2) Must use a different SINT number that is not in use. 3) Must use Connection ID 4 for the Initiate Contact Message, and for subsequent messages, must use the Message Connection ID field in the host-returned VersionResponse Message. 4) It's possible that the primary VMBus driver using protocol version 4.0 can work with a secondary VMBus driver using protocol version 5.0, but it's recommended that both should use 5.0 for new Hyper-V features in the future.

README
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.
