The function returns NULL if the ring buffer doesn't contain enough readable bytes to constitute a packet descriptor. The ring buffer's write_index is in memory which is shared with the Hyper-V host, an erroneous or malicious host could thus change its value and overturn the result of hvs_stream_has_data().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
