Drivers: hv: rename sc_lock to the more generic lock

2015-01-25T17:18:00Z

sc_lock spinlock in struct vmbus_channel is being used to not only protect the sc_list field, e.g. vmbus_open() function uses it to implement test-and-set access to the state field. Rename it to the more generic 'lock' and add the description. Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Acked-by: Jason Wang Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Support a vmbus API for efficiently sending page arrays

2015-01-25T17:17:58Z

Currently, the API for sending a multi-page buffer over VMBUS is limited to a maximum pfn array of MAX_MULTIPAGE_BUFFER_COUNT. This limitation is not imposed by the host and unnecessarily limits the maximum payload that can be sent. Implement an API that does not have this restriction. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

hyperv: Add support for vNIC hot removal

2014-12-09T01:24:11Z

This patch adds proper handling of the vNIC hot removal event, which includes a rescind-channel-offer message from the host side that triggers vNIC close and removal. In this case, the notices to the host during close and removal is not necessary because the channel is rescinded. This patch blocks these unnecessary messages, and lets vNIC removal process complete normally. Signed-off-by: Haiyang Zhang Reviewed-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

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.
