Drivers: hv: vmbus: Implement per-CPU mapping of relid to channel

2014-05-03T23:24:26Z

Currently the mapping of the relID to channel is done under the protection of a single spin lock. Starting with ws2012, each channel is bound to a specific VCPU in the guest. Use this binding to eliminate the spin lock by setting up per-cpu state for mapping relId to the channel. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Reviewed-by: Haiyang Zhang Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Drivers: hv: Eliminate the channel spinlock in the callback path

2014-05-03T23:24:26Z

By ensuring that we set the callback handler to NULL in the channel close path on the same CPU that the channel is bound to, we can eliminate this lock acquisition and release in a performance critical path.

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Negotiate version 3.0 when running on ws2012r2 hosts

2014-04-16T21:14:07Z

Only ws2012r2 hosts support the ability to reconnect to the host on VMBUS. This functionality is needed by kexec in Linux. To use this functionality we need to negotiate version 3.0 of the VMBUS protocol. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Cc: [3.9+] Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Increase the limit on the number of pfns we can handle

2014-03-09T06:15:52Z

Increase the number of PFNs we can handle in a single vmbus packet. Some network packets may have more PFNs than the current limit we have. This is not a bug and this patch can be applied to the *next tree. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

vmbus: use resource for hyperv mmio region

2014-02-25T00:15:05Z

Use a resource for the hyperv mmio region instead of start/size variables. Register the region properly so it shows up in /proc/iomem. Signed-off-by: Gerd Hoffmann Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Drivers: hv: Implement the file copy service

2014-02-18T18:53:48Z

Implement the file copy service for Linux guests on Hyper-V. This permits the host to copy a file (over VMBUS) into the guest. This facility is part of "guest integration services" supported on the Windows platform. Here is a link that provides additional details on this functionality: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn464282.aspx In V1 version of the patch I have addressed comments from Olaf Hering and Dan Carpenter In V2 version of this patch I did some minor cleanup (making some globals static). In V4 version of the patch I have addressed all of Olaf's most recent set of comments/concerns. In V5 version of the patch I had addressed Greg's most recent comments. I would like to thank Greg for suggesting that I use misc device; it has significantly simplified the code. In V6 version of the patch I have cleaned up error message based on Olaf's comments. I have also rebased the patch based on the current tip. In this version of the patch, I have addressed the latest comments from Greg. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Support per-channel driver state

2014-02-07T23:22:40Z

As we implement Virtual Receive Side Scaling on the networking side (the VRSS patches are currently under review), it will be useful to have per-channel state that vmbus drivers can manage. Add support for managing per-channel state. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Cleanup the packet send path

2014-02-07T23:22:40Z

The current channel code is using scatterlist abstraction to pass data to the ringbuffer API on the send path. This causes unnecessary translations between virtual and physical addresses. Fix this. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Extract the mmio information from DSDT

2014-02-07T23:21:48Z

On Gen2 firmware, Hyper-V does not emulate the PCI bus. However, the MMIO information is packaged up in DSDT. Extract this information and export it for use by the synthetic framebuffer driver. This is the only driver that needs this currently. In this version of the patch mmio, I have updated the hyperv header file (linux/hyperv.h) with mmio definitions. Signed-off-by: K. Y.
