K. Y. Srinivasan 011a7c3cc3 Drivers: hv: vmbus: Cleanup the packet send path
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.

Jason Wang e91e84fa4c drivers: hv: check interrupt mask before read_index
This patches add a read barriers to force the driver to check the interrupt mask
before read_index. Otherwise we may lost a kick to host.

Jason Wang 35848f68b0 drivers: hv: switch to use mb() instead of smp_mb()
Even if guest were compiled without SMP support, it could not assume that host
wasn't. So switch to use mb() instead of smp_mb() to force memory barriers for
UP guest.

K. Y. Srinivasan 288fa3e022 Drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix a bug in hv_need_to_signal()
As part of updating the vmbus protocol, the function hv_need_to_signal()
was introduced. This functions helps optimize signalling from guest to
host. The newly added memory barrier is needed to ensure that we correctly
decide when to signal the host.

K. Y. Srinivasan c2b8e5202c Drivers: hv: Implement flow management on the send side
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.

K. Y. Srinivasan 98fa8cf4bc Drivers: hv: Optimize the signaling on the write path
The host has already implemented the "read" side optimizations.
Leverage that to optimize "write" side signaling.

K. Y. Srinivasan 6fdf3b2143 Drivers: hv: Implement routines for read side signaling optimization
Implement functions that will support read-side signaling optimization.
By having the reader indicate the start of the "read" operation and the
"end" of the read operation we can more efficiently handle the signaling
protocol: while the read is in progress, there is no need for the "writer"
to signal the "reader" as new items are put on the read queue.

Haiyang Zhang 33be96e47c net/hyperv: Add flow control based on hi/low watermark
In the existing code, we only stop queue when the ringbuffer is full,
so the current packet has to be dropped or retried from upper layer.

This patch stops the tx queue when available ringbuffer is below
the low watermark. So the ringbuffer still has small amount of space
available for the current packet. This will reduce the overhead of
retries on sending.

Greg Kroah-Hartman 46a9719136 Staging: hv: move hyperv code out of staging directory
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.
