2013-06-03Drivers: hv: vmbus: Implement multi-channel supportK. Y. Srinivasan
Starting with Win8, the host supports multiple sub-channels for a given device. As in the past, the initial channel offer specifies the device and is associated with both the type and the instance GUIDs. For performance critical devices, the host may support multiple sub-channels. The sub-channels share the same type and instance GUID as the primary channel. The number of sub-channels offerrred to the guest depends on the number of virtual CPUs assigned to the guest. The guest can request the creation of these sub-channels and once created and opened, the guest can distribute the traffic across all the channels (the primary and the sub-channels). A request sent on a sub-channel will have the response delivered on the same sub-channel. At channel (sub-channel) creation we bind the channel interrupt to a CPU and with this sub-channel support we will be able to spread the interrupt load of a given device across all available CPUs.

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: Add state to manage incoming channel interrupt loadK. Y. Srinivasan
Add state to bind a channel to a specific VCPU. This will help us better distribute incoming interrupt load. 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: Change the signature of vmbus_set_event()K. Y. Srinivasan
In preparation for supporting a per-connection signaling mechanism, change the signature of vmbus_set_event(). This change is also needed to implement other aspects of the signaling optimization.

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.
