[PATCH 0/5] vmbus: improvements

[Stephen Hemminger]

This set of patches cleans up the vmbus infrastructure.
The introduction of the vmbus iterator in 4.12-rc1 allows
for other simplifications. And the lock on ring buffer read
can be replaced by a better algorithm. Unused and duplicated
functions can be eliminated.

Stephen Hemminger (5):
  vmbus: simplify hv_ringbuffer_read
  vmbus: implement lock-less ring buffer
  vmbus: remove unused vmbus_sendpacket_multipagebuffer
  vmbus: eliminate vmbus_sendpacket_ctl
  vmbus: get rid of vmbus_sendpacket_pagebuffer_ctl
