From: Hank Janssen <hjanssen at microsoft.com> Removed TODO for VMBUS, it mirrors HYPER-V behaviour to closely and does not really share any usable functionality of the Linux kernel facilities. There is not really an easy way to combine functionality. Signed-off-by:Hank Janssen <hjanssen at microsoft.com> Signed-off-by:Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz at microsoft.com> ---

Greg, Recently, you applied a patch-set from me that cleaned a bunch of architectural issues in the vmbus driver. With that patch-set, I think I have addressed all architectural issues that I am aware of. I was wondering if you would have the time to let me know what else would have to be addressed in the vmbus driver, before it could be considered ready for exiting staging. As always your help

Further cleanup of the hv drivers. 1) Cleanup reference counting. 2) Handle all block devices using the storvsc driver. I have modified the implementation here based on Christoph's feedback on my earlier implementation. 3) Fix bugs. 4) Accomodate some host side scsi emulation bugs. 5) In case of scsi errors off-line the device. This patch-set further reduces the size of

I just took a quick look at the vmbus code, and have the following comments: - why is count_hv_channel() even a function? - your .h files need to be consolidated and renamed. You will need a single hyperv.h file for include/linux/ that will contain some of what the vmbus*.h files have in it, but not all. Please merge things together to have: - include/linux/hyperv.h What is

Greg, Some weeks ago, I had sent out a fairly large patch-set for your consideration. I know you are very busy; however, I am getting a little nervous since I have not heard from you. Please let me know if I should resend these patches. In addition to this one large patch-set, we have also sent a bunch of other patches as well. I just want to make sure that these patches are still in your

Greg, A few days ago you applied all the outstanding patches for the Hyper-V drivers. With these patches, I have addressed all of the known review comments for the vmbus driver (and a lot of comments/issues in other drivers as well). I am still hoping I can address whatever other issues/comments there might be with the intention to get the vmbus driver out of staging in the current window.
