This is a resend of the patches sent on May 9, 2011. Per Greg's suggestion, I have include additional context to the Subject line where there was some ambiguity. This patch-set deals with some of the architectural isues in all of the Hyper-V drivers. Specifically: 1) Fixes a number of locking issues in the block driver. 2) Eliminates all the indirection through the hv_driver abstraction. 3) Simplifies the code across the board eliminating unnecessary code and data structure layering. Prior to this restructuring there were about 11,000 lines of code in the hv directory. After this cleanup, there are about 8500 lines of code. 4) I have dealt with style and naming issues across all the drivers. 5) All the header files have been cleaned up and consolidated: 1) A single header file include/linux/hyperv.h. This file is to be included in all the drivers that attach to the vmbus. 2) A single header file that has all the defines for building the vmbus driver. 3) Consolidate header files for each device class - disk and net.
