I am enclosing a patch that implements the KVP (Key Value Pair) functionality for Linux guests on HyperV. This functionality allows Microsoft Management stack to query information from the guest. This functionality is implemented in two parts: (a) A kernel component that communicates with the host and (b) A user level daemon that implements data gathering. The attached patch (kvp.patch) implements

All guest specific data gathering is implemented in a user-mode daemon. The kernel component of KVP passes the "key" to this daemon and the daemon is responsible for passing back the corresponding value. This daemon communicates with the kernel component via a netlink channel. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan <ksrinivasan at novell.com> --- drivers/staging/hv/tools/hv_kvp_daemon.c
