Drivers: hv: vmbus: Expose per-channel interrupts and events counters

2017-10-31T12:40:29Z

When investigating performance, it is useful to be able to look at the number of host and guest events per-channel. This is equivalent to per-device interrupt statistics. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

vmbus: add per-channel sysfs info

2017-10-04T08:47:18Z

This extends existing vmbus related sysfs structure to provide per-channel state information. This is useful when diagnosing issues with multiple queues in networking and storage. The existing sysfs only displayed information about the primary channel. The one place it reported multiple channels was the channel_vp_mapping file which violated the sysfs convention of one value per file. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: K. Y.
