Subject: [PATCH 0/6] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Ringbuffer cleanup and optimizations

From: K. Y. Srinivasan <kys@...rosoft.com>

This patch set removes unused bits from vmbus internals, and also does some
optimization to the host signalling part of ring buffer logic.

Stephen Hemminger (6):
  vmbus: simplify hv_ringbuffer_read
  vmbus: drop unused ring_buffer_info elements
  vmbus: refactor hv_signal_on_read
  vmbus: eliminate duplicate cached index
  vmbus: more host signalling avoidance
  vmbus: add prefetch to ring buffer iterator
