[win-pv-devel] [PATCH 0/7] Add multi-ring support

[Owen Smith <owen.smith@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Adds support for multiple rings, with traffic split based on
a supplied hash value.
Backend exposes "multi-queue-max-queues" to indicate the maximum number
of queues supported (default 1, i.e. single-queue).
Frontend will write "multi-queue-num-queues" to request multi-queues,
this value must be less than or equal to the smaller of what the backend 
supports and the number of vCPUs exposed to the guest. The guest may limit 
this value with the registry setting "MultiQueueMaxQueues" under the XenVif
service parameters key.

Patches:
1: Dont pass through query interface IRPs, as each interface exposed
   needs to be explicitly declared and accounted for in the revision.
2&3: Switch to an array-of-pointers instead of a LIST_ENTRY for rings.
   Rings are limited to 1 per vCPU for performance so the maximum 
   array size is known (MAXIMUM_PROCESSORS)
4: Remove the notifier object, its an abstraction too far. Make receiver
   own the shared event channel (if used) or the receiver/transmitter own 
   their own event channels
5: Update the interface header for VIF v2. Also updates the transmitter
   code to use the (now-downlevel) VIF v1 structures.
6: Add the new functionality from VIF v2. Adds translation layer for VIF v1
   so that all internal operations are using VIF v2 structures.
7: Add multi-queue functionality and distribute packets to queues based on 
   supplied hash values.
