It looks like Hyper-V supports a hardware cursor feature. It is not used
by Linux VM, but the Hyper-V host still draws a point as an extra mouse
pointer, which is unwanted, especially when Xorg is running.

The hyperv_fb driver uses synthvid_send_ptr() to hide the unwanted pointer.
When the hyperv_drm driver was developed, the function synthvid_send_ptr()
was not copied from the hyperv_fb driver. Fix the issue by adding the
function into hyperv_drm.

"is_visible" should be 0 since you want to hide the pointer. Maybe
better, accept these from the caller.

Is it necessary to send SYNTHVID_POINTER_SHAPE here? Perhaps we should
separate SYNTHVID_POINTER_POSITION and SYNTHVID_POINTER_SHAPE into
different functions.

I believe I tried is_visible = 0 during my implementation of the hyperv_fb. It still have the host cursor visible... So I had to set the cursor color's alpha value = 0 to make it transparent. But you may try is_visible = 0 again.

According to my test, "is_visible = 0" doesn't work, i.e. can't hide the
unwanted HW mouse poiner. It looks like the field is for some very old
legacy Windows VMs like Windows Vista.

Haiyang also replied in another email, saying "is_visible = 0" doesn't
work.

According to my test, yes. If I don't send a SYNTHVID_POINTER_SHAPE message,
the unwanted mouse pointer can't be hidden. As we know, the protocol between
the VSC and the VSP is not well documented to us. I can ask Hyper-V
team for some clarification on this, but it's probably we can just use the current
version of hiding the mouse pointer as-is -- this has been used for 10+ years
in the hyperv_fb driver without any issue. :-)

Since the 2 messages are only used here, I suggest we keep it as-is.

Thanks, Deepak! 
Will do, and I'll rename the function to hyperv_hide_hw_ptr() to
better express the intent of the function.
