/*
- * Win8 uses some of the reserved bits to implement
- * interrupt driven flow management. On the send side
- * we can request that the receiver interrupt the sender
- * when the ring transitions from being full to being able
- * to handle a message of size "pending_send_sz".
+ * WS2012/Win8 and later versions of Hyper-V implement interrupt
+ * driven flow management. The feature bit feat_pending_send_sz
+ * is set by the host on the host->guest ring buffer, and by the
+ * guest on the guest->host ring buffer.
*
- * Add necessary state for this enhancement.
+ * The meaning of the feature bit is a bit complex in that it has
+ * semantics that apply to both ring buffers. If the guest sets
+ * the feature bit in the guest->host ring buffer, the guest is
+ * telling the host that:
+ * 1) It will set the pending_send_sz field in the guest->host ring
+ * buffer when it is waiting for space to become available, and
+ * 2) It will read the pending_send_sz field in the host->guest
+ * ring buffer and interrupt the host when it frees enough space
+ *
+ * Similarly, if the host sets the feature bit in the host->guest
+ * ring buffer, the host is telling the guest that:
+ * 1) It will set the pending_send_sz field in the host->guest ring
+ * buffer when it is waiting for space to become available, and
+ * 2) It will read the pending_send_sz field in the guest->host
+ * ring buffer and interrupt the guest when it frees enough space
+ *
+ * If either the guest or host does not set the feature bit that it
+ * owns, that guest or host must do polling if it encounters a full
+ * ring buffer, and not signal the other end with an interrupt.
