Drivers: hv: vmbus: Expose counters for interrupts and full conditions
Counter values for per-channel interrupts and ring buffer full conditions are useful for investigating performance. Expose counters in sysfs for 2 types of guest to host interrupts: 1) Interrupts caused by the channel's outbound ring buffer transitioning from empty to not empty 2) Interrupts caused by the channel's inbound ring buffer transitioning from full to not full while a packet is waiting for enough buffer space to become available Expose 2 counters in sysfs for the number of times that write operations encountered a full outbound ring buffer: 1) The total number of write operations that encountered a full condition 2) The number of write operations that were the first to encounter a full condition Increment the outbound full condition counters in the hv_ringbuffer_write() function because, for most drivers, a full outbound ring buffer is detected in that function. Also increment the outbound full condition counters in the set_channel_pending_send_size() function. In the hv_sock driver, a full outbound ring buffer is detected and set_channel_pending_send_size() is called before hv_ringbuffer_write() is called. I tested this patch by confirming that the sysfs files were created and observing the counter values. The values seemed to increase by a reasonable amount when the Hyper-v related drivers were in use.
