Subject[PATCH 0/4] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Make in-place consumption always possible
Date
From: K. Y. Srinivasan <kys@microsoft.com>

Make in-place consumption of VMBus packets always possible. Currently we forbid
it when a packet 'wraps around' the ring so we can't provide a single
pointer to it.

The idea if this series is dead simple: let's make a single virtual mapping
for two copies (actually, two sets of pages which consist the ring buffer)
of the ring buffer. With such a mapping we can always provide a pointers
for in-place consumption to drivers. Copy path can also benefit from such
mappings as we eliminate the need for conditional checking in copy_to/
copy_from functions and use a single memcpy().

Vitaly Kuznetsov (4):
Drivers: hv: cleanup vmbus_open() for wrap around mappings
Drivers: hv: ring_buffer: wrap around mappings for ring buffers
Drivers: hv: ring_buffer: use wrap around mappings in
hv_copy{from,to}_ringbuffer()
Drivers: hv: ring_buffer: count on wrap around mappings in
get_next_pkt_raw()
