Hi David,
Ok, how do you like the below proof-of-concept patch snippet?
I use 1 page for the recv buf and another page for send buf. They should be
allocated by kmalloc(sizeof(struct hvsock_send/recv_buf), GFP_KERNEL).
And, by default, I use 2 pages for VMBUS send/recv ringbuffers respectively.
(Note: 2 is the minimal ringbuffer size because actually 1 page of the two is
used
as the shared read/write index etc, rather than data)
A module parameter will be added to allow the user to use a big ringbuffer
size, if the user cares too much about the performance.
Another parameter will be added to limit how many hvsock sockets can be
created at most. The default value can be 1024, meaning at most
1024 * (2+2+1+1) * 4KB = 24MB memory is used.
