[PATCH 1/1] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Support a vmbus API for efficiently sending page arrays

From: K. Y. Srinivasan
Date: Mon Dec 15 2014 - 14:23:27 EST


Currently, the API for sending a multi-page buffer over VMBUS is limited to
a maximum pfn array of MAX_MULTIPAGE_BUFFER_COUNT. This limitation is
not imposed by the host and unnecessarily limits the maximum payload
that can be sent. Implement an API that does not have this restriction.
