Take into consideration the xmit_more flag in skb to decide if we should
notify the host as we place packets in VMBUS.

The VMBUS API that would give us this control is already in Greg's tree, in

this

quoted

patch-set, that API is exported so it can be used in the netvsc driver. Greg

has

acked this export.

In this version of the patch-set, the patch to address the vmbus signalling
fix is not included here; that patch will be taken through Greg's tree.
I have also gotten rid of an unnecessary local variable in start_xmit()
function based on feedback from Jason Wang [off-list ref].

This patch set does not apply to net-next at all.

I will rebase this and send it.

David,

I pulled down the net-next tree and the issue is with the first patch:
0001-Drivers-hv-vmbus-Export-the-vmbus_sendpacket_pagebuf.patch

The net-next tree is not current with Greg's tree and this patch is on code that
is in Greg's tree. This patch merely exports an API that is already in Greg's tree.
Greg wanted me to take this patch through your tree since the only user
of this functionality is the network driver. Any suggestions on how I should 
proceed here.

The second patch:
0002-hyperv-Support-batched-notification.patch

applies cleanly to your tree.

Regards,

K. Y

Thanks,

K. Y
