[win-pv-devel] [PATCH 0/5] Ongoing Improvements

[<owen.smith@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Owen Smith <owen.smith@xxxxxxxxxx>

This series changes the behaviour of XenVbd to improve the
overall design and implementation.
* Use the CACHE interface for bounce buffers, which removes a
  log entry which can be triggered every 1 second if the user
  buffers for IO are not aligned to sector sizes.
* Adds a useful override on max-ring-page-order. blkback will
  define max-ring-page-order to use 16 pages for a ring, which can be
  excessive for most use cases. The xenvbd frontend will use the
  maximum number of pages possible for the ring.
* Use the CACHE interface instead of lookaside lists for the
  REQUEST, SEGMENT and INDIRECT structs. This allows one time
  initialization/cleanup, which will prevent xenvbd allocating
  a page every time it retrieves a cached INDIRECT.

Owen Smith (5):
  Query for CACHE interface
  Use CACHE interface for bounce buffers
  Add override for MaxRingPageOrder
  Tidy up srbext.h
  Use CACHE interface for REQUESTs, SEGMENTs and INDIRECTs
