So sorry I won't be able > to think about this for some time. David, Sure, I understand. Please let me recap my last mail: 1) I'll replace my statically-allocated per-connection "send/recv bufs" with dynamically ones, so no buf is used when there is no traffic. 2) Another kind of bufs i.e., the multi-page "VMBus send/recv ringbuffer", is a must IMO due to the host side's design of the feature: every connection needs its own ringbuffer, which takes several pages (2~3 pages at least. And, 5 pages should suffice for good performance). The ringbuffer can be accessed by the host at any time, so IMO the pages can't be swappable. I understand net-next is closed now. I'm going to post the next version after 4.7-rc1 is out in several weeks. If you could give me some suggestions, I would be definitely happy to take. Thanks! -- Dexuan _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
