This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

Drivers: hv: kvp: Fix two "this statement may fall through" warnings

to my char-misc git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git in the char-misc-testing branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will be merged to the char-misc-next branch sometime soon, after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

We don't need to call process_ib_ipinfo() if message->kvp_hdr.operation is KVP_OP_GET_IP_INFO in kvp_send_key(), because here we just need to pass on the op code from the host to the userspace; when the userspace returns the info requested by the host, we pass the info on to the host in kvp_respond_to_host() -> process_ob_ipinfo(). BTW, the current buggy code actually doesn't cause any harm, because only message->kvp_hdr.operation is used by the userspace, in the case of KVP_OP_GET_IP_INFO.

The patch also adds a missing "break;" in kvp_send_key(). BTW, the current buggy code actually doesn't cause any harm, because in the case of KVP_OP_SET, the unexpected fall-through corrupts message->body.kvp_set.data.key_size, but that is not really used: see the definition of struct hv_kvp_exchg_msg_value.
