Subject: [PATCH 3/4] Staging: hv: vmbus: Check for events before messages
Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2011 14:35:56 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1314826557-28755-3-git-send-email-kys@microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1314826557-28755-1-git-send-email-kys@microsoft.com>

The Windows team has informed us that on Windows guests on Hyper-V,
they check for events before messages. They also recommended that we do
the same. This patch addresses this.
