* Drivers: hv: Add a new driver to support host initiated backupK. Y. Srinivasan2013-03-151-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This driver supports host initiated backup of the guest. On Windows guests, the host can generate application consistent backups using the Windows VSS framework. On Linux, we ensure that the backup will be file system consistent. This driver allows the host to initiate a "Freeze" operation on all the mounted file systems in the guest. Once the mounted file systems in the guest are frozen, the host snapshots the guest's file systems. Once this is done, the guest's file systems are "thawed". This driver has a user-level component (daemon) that invokes the appropriate operation on all the mounted file systems in response to the requests from the host. The duration for which the guest is frozen is very short - a few seconds. During this interval, the diff disk is comitted. In this version of the patch I have addressed the feedback from Olaf Herring. Also, some of the connector related issues have been fixed. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

* Drivers: hv: Turn off batched reading for util driversK. Y. Srinivasan2013-01-171-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | Util driver is not a performance critical driver and furthermore some util services such as KVP can only handle one outstanding message from the host. Turn off batched reading for util drivers. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

* Drivers: hv: util: Properly handle version negotiations.K. Y. Srinivasan2012-05-141-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | The current version negotiation code is not "future proof". Fix this by allowing each service the flexibility to either specify the highest version it can support or it can support the highest version number the host is offering. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

After many years wandering the desert, it is finally time for the Microsoft HyperV code to move out of the staging directory. Or at least the core hyperv bus code, and the utility driver, the rest still have some review to get through by the various subsystem maintainers.
