Date: Tue, 8 Apr 2014 18:45:28 -0700 From: "K. Y. Srinivasan" <kys@...rosoft.com> To: gregkh@...uxfoundation.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, devel@...uxdriverproject.org, olaf@...fle.de, apw@...onical.com, jasowang@...hat.com Cc: "K. Y. Srinivasan" <kys@...rosoft.com> Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Eliminate spin locks in the vmbus channel callback path Currently we map the channel handle to the channel under the protection of a spin lock. Additionally, we dispatch the channel callback function under the protection of the channel inbound lock (another spin lock). In some recent nework performance runs, the time spent acquiring and releasing these locks were identified as potential bottlenecks. This patch-set gets rid of these locks by leveraging the interrupt bindings that we support starting with win8. K. Y.
