hv: use correct order when freeing monitor_pages

2014-05-28T20:45:15+00:00

We try to free two pages when only one has been allocated.
Cleanup path is unlikely, so I haven't found any trace that would fit,
but I hope that free_pages_prepare() does catch it.

Drivers: hv: balloon: Ensure pressure reports are posted regularly

2014-05-03T23:25:17+00:00

The current code posts periodic memory pressure status from a dedicated thread.
Under some conditions, especially when we are releasing a lot of memory into
the guest, we may not send timely pressure reports back to the host. Fix this
issue by reporting pressure in all contexts that can be active in this driver.

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

2014-05-03T23:24:26+00:00

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.

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

2014-05-03T23:24:26+00:00

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

2014-04-16T21:14:07+00:00

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.
