How about following commit message:

Kdump could fail sometime on Hyper-V guest over Accelerated Network
nterface. This is because the retry in hv_pci_enter_d0() relies on an
asynchronous host event arriving before the guest calls
hv_send_resources_allocated(). Fix the problem by moving retry to
hv_pci_probe() and start the retry from hv_pci_query_relations() call.
This causes the host to generate an synchronous event, hence removing
this unreliable dependency.

It already has the comment in the code as:
+ * The retry should start from hv_pci_query_relations() call.

It would be a bug if the retry does not start from this according to the host
Behaviour. So I think no further explanation would be needed.

Do you mean to add review-by tags? If not would you please elaborate what
'carry tags' means? Sorry I am not familiar to this term.

Thanks,
