In win8 we have a feature that allows for interrupt driven flow management
for host/guest communication. For instance, if the host were blocked because
there was no space available in the ringbuffer, the host could request that the
guest send an interrupt when space becomes available in the ringbuffer (when
the guest drains the ringbuffer).While this feature was implemented in the guest a while ago, we had not
advertised that the guest supported this feature. This patch advertises
the support to the host.For pre-win8 hosts, this has no effect since the size of the ringbuffer
control structure has not changed and all changes have been backward
compatible - unused/reserved space has been used to implement this
feature.In this version of the patch I have cleaned up the commit log based on
feedback from Greg KH.Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan

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.Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan

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.Cc: K. Y. Srinivasan

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.Signed-off-by: Jason Wang

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.Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan

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.Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan

The host has already implemented the "read" side optimizations.
Leverage that to optimize "write" side signaling.Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan

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.Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan

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.Signed-off-by: Haiyang Zhang
