2013-06-24drivers: hv: check interrupt mask before read_indexJason Wang
This patches add a read barriers to force the driver to check the interrupt mask before read_index. Otherwise we may lost a kick to host. Cc: K. Y.

2013-06-18drivers: hv: switch to use mb() instead of smp_mb()Jason Wang
Even if guest were compiled without SMP support, it could not assume that host wasn't. So switch to use mb() instead of smp_mb() to force memory barriers for UP guest.

2013-04-01Drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix a bug in hv_need_to_signal()K. Y. Srinivasan
As part of updating the vmbus protocol, the function hv_need_to_signal() was introduced. This functions helps optimize signalling from guest to host. The newly added memory barrier is needed to ensure that we correctly decide when to signal the host. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

2013-01-17Drivers: hv: Implement flow management on the send sideK. Y. Srinivasan
Implement flow management on the send side. When the sender is blocked, the reader can potentially signal the sender to indicate there is now room to send. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

2013-01-17Drivers: hv: Optimize the signaling on the write pathK. Y. Srinivasan
The host has already implemented the "read" side optimizations. Leverage that to optimize "write" side signaling. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan <kys@microsoft.com> Reviewed-by: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2013-01-17Drivers: hv: Implement routines for read side signaling optimizationK. Y. Srinivasan
Implement functions that will support read-side signaling optimization. By having the reader indicate the start of the "read" operation and the "end" of the read operation we can more efficiently handle the signaling protocol: while the read is in progress, there is no need for the "writer" to signal the "reader" as new items are put on the read queue.

2012-04-03net/hyperv: Add flow control based on hi/low watermarkHaiyang Zhang
In the existing code, we only stop queue when the ringbuffer is full, so the current packet has to be dropped or retried from upper layer. This patch stops the tx queue when available ringbuffer is below the low watermark. So the ringbuffer still has small amount of space available for the current packet. This will reduce the overhead of retries on sending. Signed-off-by: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@microsoft.com> Reviewed-by: K. Y. Srinivasan <kys@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-10-10Staging: hv: move hyperv code out of staging directoryGreg Kroah-Hartman
After many years wandering the desert, it is finally time for the Microsoft HyperV code to move out of the staging directory. Or at least the core hyperv bus code, and the utility driver, the rest still have some review to get through by the various subsystem maintainers.
