Hi Jake, I think the VMAP_STACK issue you mentioned should be another different issue fixed by Long Li: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/692447/. The VMAP_STACK issue is only an issue when we pass the buffer's physical address to the hypercall. Here the buffer is not passed to any hypercall. We just use vmbus_sendpacket() to memcpy the buffer into the per-channel ringbuffer.

We don't really need such a big on-stack buffer. vmbus_sendpacket() here only uses sizeof(struct pci_child_message).
