Or is it >a separate thing? This is a separate thing, timesync registers itself with the vmbus so it receives a time sync message from Hyper-V on cold boot and restore from saved state. With this we set the clock on the current VM. (Human readable time basically) What KY submitted it a driver that connects to the Hyper-V stable timesource. There are no messages from Hyper-V for that, you have to read that directly from the hypervisor page. >> Signed-off-by: Hank Janssen <hjanssen(a)microsoft.com> >> Signed-off-by: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz(a)microsoft.com> >> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh(a)suse.de> > >I did not sign off on this, I've never even seen this patch before, why >would you add my name? That is not ok at all! I got ahead of myself. Just trying to make your workload easier :) I will resend right away with the line removed.
