[PATCH net-next] hv_sock: perf: Allow the socket buffer size options to influence the actual socket buffers
From: Sunil Muthuswamy
Date: Wed May 22 2019 - 18:58:58 EST
Currently, the hv_sock buffer size is static and can't scale to the
bandwidth requirements of the application. This change allows the
applications to influence the socket buffer sizes using the SO_SNDBUF and
the SO_RCVBUF socket options.
Few interesting points to note:
1. Since the VMBUS does not allow a resize operation of the ring size, the
socket buffer size option should be set prior to establishing the
connection for it to take effect.
2. Setting the socket option comes with the cost of that much memory being
reserved/allocated by the kernel, for the lifetime of the connection.

- The table above exceeds the 75char limit for the patch. If that's a
problem, I can try to squeeze it in somehow within the limit.
- The patch has been previously submitted to net and reviewed. The
feedback was to submit it to net-next.
