drivers:hv: Make a function to free mmio regions through vmbus

2016-04-30T21:01:37Z

This patch introduces a function that reverses everything done by vmbus_allocate_mmio(). Existing code just called release_mem_region(). Future patches in this series require a more complex sequence of actions, so this function is introduced to wrap those actions. Signed-off-by: Jake Oshins Signed-off-by: K. Y.

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Implement APIs to support "in place" consumption of vmbus packets

2016-04-30T21:00:19Z

Implement APIs for in-place consumption of vmbus packets. Currently, each packet is copied and processed one at a time and as part of processing each packet we potentially may signal the host (if it is waiting for room to produce a packet). These APIs help batched in-place processing of vmbus packets. We also optimize host signaling by having a separate API to signal the end of in-place consumption. With netvsc using these APIs, on an iperf run on average I see about 20X reduction in checks to signal the host. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Move some ring buffer functions to hyperv.h

2016-04-30T21:00:19Z

In preparation for implementing APIs for in-place consumption of VMBUS packets, movve some ring buffer functionality into hyperv.h Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Export the vmbus_set_event() API

2016-04-30T21:00:19Z

In preparation for moving some ring buffer functionality out of the vmbus driver, export the API for signaling the host. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Introduce functions for estimating room in the ring buffer

2016-04-30T21:00:19Z

Introduce separate functions for estimating how much can be read from and written to the ring buffer. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Drivers: hv: util: Pass the channel information during the init call

2016-03-02T00:57:20Z

Pass the channel information to the util drivers that need to defer reading the channel while they are processing a request. This would address the following issue reported by Vitaly: Commit 3cace4a61610 ("Drivers: hv: utils: run polling callback always in interrupt context") removed direct *_transaction.state = HVUTIL_READY assignments from *_handle_handshake() functions introducing the following race: if a userspace daemon connects before we get first non-negotiation request from the server hv_poll_channel() won't set transaction state to HVUTIL_READY as (!channel) condition will fail, we set it to non-NULL on the first real request from the server.

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Give control over how the ring access is serialized

2016-02-08T05:34:12Z

On the channel send side, many of the VMBUS device drivers explicity serialize access to the outgoing ring buffer. Give more control to the VMBUS device drivers in terms how to serialize accesss to the outgoing ring buffer. The default behavior will be to aquire the ring lock to preserve the current behavior.

Drivers: hv: vmbus: add an API vmbus_hvsock_device_unregister()

2016-02-08T05:34:12Z

The hvsock driver needs this API to release all the resources related to the channel. Signed-off-by: Dexuan Cui Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Drivers: hv: vmbus: add a per-channel rescind callback

2016-02-08T05:34:12Z

This will be used by the coming hv_sock driver. Signed-off-by: Dexuan Cui Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Drivers: hv: vmbus: add a hvsock flag in struct hv_driver

2016-02-08T05:34:12Z

Only the coming hv_sock driver has a "true" value for this flag. We treat the hvsock offers/channels as special VMBus devices. Since the hv_sock driver handles all the hvsock offers/channels, we need to tweak vmbus_match() for hv_sock driver, so we introduce this flag. Signed-off-by: Dexuan Cui Signed-off-by: K. Y.
