[PATCH V3 net-next 1/1] hv_netvsc: Use the xmit_more skb flag to optimize signaling the host

2015-05-06 Thread K. Y. Srinivasan
Based on the information given to this driver (via the xmit_more skb flag), we can defer signaling the host if more packets are on the way. This will help make the host more efficient since it can potentially process a larger batch of packets. Implement this optimization. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srin
