Drivers: hv: vmbus: Treat Fibre Channel devices as performance critical

2015-12-21T21:14:56Z

For performance critical devices, we distribute the incoming channel interrupt load across available CPUs in the guest. Include Fibre channel devices in the set of devices for which we would distribute the interrupt load. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Drivers: hv: utils: fix hvt_op_poll() return value on transport destroy

2015-12-21T21:14:56Z

The return type of hvt_op_poll() is unsigned int and -EBADF is inappropriate, poll functions return POLL* statuses. Reported-by: Dexuan Cui Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

drivers/hv: Move struct hv_timer_message_payload into UAPI Hyper-V x86 header

2015-12-16T17:49:41Z

This struct is required for Hyper-V SynIC timers implementation inside KVM and for upcoming Hyper-V VMBus support by userspace(QEMU). So place it into Hyper-V UAPI header.

Drivers: hv: ring_buffer: eliminate hv_ringbuffer_peek()

2015-12-15T03:27:30Z

Currently, there is only one user for hv_ringbuffer_read()/ hv_ringbuffer_peak() functions and the usage of these functions is: - insecure as we drop ring_lock between them, someone else (in theory only) can acquire it in between; - non-optimal as we do a number of things (acquire/release the above mentioned lock, calculate available space on the ring, ...) twice and this path is performance-critical. Remove hv_ringbuffer_peek() moving the logic from __vmbus_recvpacket() to hv_ringbuffer_read(). Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Drivers: hv: remove code duplication between vmbus_recvpacket()/vmbus_recvpacket_raw()

2015-12-15T03:27:30Z

vmbus_recvpacket() and vmbus_recvpacket_raw() are almost identical but there are two discrepancies: 1) vmbus_recvpacket() doesn't propagate errors from hv_ringbuffer_read() which looks like it is not desired. 2) There is an error message printed in packetlen > bufferlen case in vmbus_recvpacket(). I'm removing it as it is usless for users to see such messages and /vmbus_recvpacket_raw() doesn't have it. Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov Signed-off-by: K. Y.

Drivers: hv: ring_buffer: remove code duplication from hv_ringbuffer_peek/read()

2015-12-15T03:27:30Z

hv_ringbuffer_peek() does the same as hv_ringbuffer_read() without advancing the read index. The only functional change this patch brings is moving hv_need_to_signal_on_read() call under the ring_lock but this function is just a couple of comparisons.
