New vendor branch for FreeBSD on Hyper-V. Please review.

We are currently preparing our “enlightened” device drivers for inclusion with the standard distribution of FreeBSD. They provide significant performance enhancements to FreeBSD on Hyper-V. As part of this process we are making our source code available for review by the FreeBSD community. We woul

should I be PCI bus driver one level up (pci.c)? I suspect I'm trying to override the wrong driver. On Tue, Apr 23, 2013 at 10:48 AM, Alexander Motin wrote: > On 23.04.2013 17:07, Larry Melia wrote: > >> I’m on a team of developers working on synthetic device drivers for >> F

more granular detection and control to disable/enable PCI-ATA devices

Hi Alexander- With you suggestions, I finally was able to get the override driver working-see https://github.com/FreeBSDonHyper-V/freebsd-snapshot/blob/hyperv-dev-ata-override/sys/dev/hyperv/stordisengage/hv_ata_pci_disengage.c. While it operates wonderfully, allowing our "enlightened" driver to i

Re: Any future plan to support hyperv virtual switch network adapter driver ?

Hi Jonathan, The virtual network adapter is already operational and is available on the hyperv-snapshot release (develop branch) on Github. We're also developing a ports/binary download package for FreeBSD 8 and 9 to make it easier to install our drivers. We'll post a notice here when this is read
