From 132368bd0b286457f83f56d0bbdecd85999562dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "K. Y. Srinivasan" Date: Sat, 1 Dec 2012 06:46:33 -0800 Subject: Drivers: hv: Add state to manage batched reading For the "read" side signaling optimization, the reader has to completely drain the queue before exiting. Add state to manage this "batched" reading. Signed-off-by: K. Y.
