+ <p>This quarter, the Hyper-V storage driver was greatly improved:
+ its performance was increased by a factor of 1.2-2 by applying
+ BUS_DMA and UNMAP_IO, enlarging the request queue, and selecting the
+ outgoing channel with the LUN considered; TRIM/UNMAP was enabled;
+ and some critical bugs (PRs 209443, 211000, 212998) were fixed so
+ that disk hot add/remove and VHDX online resizing should work
+ now.</p>
+
+ <p>The VMBus driver also received attention, with enhancements made for
+ the handling of device hot add/remove.</p>
+
+ <p> In the Hyper-V network driver, configurable RSS key and dynamic
+ MTU change are now supported.</p>
+
+ <p>&os; images on Azure continue to be updated — after
+ publishing the &os; 10.3 VM image on the global Microsoft Azure in
+ June, Microsoft also published the VM image on the Microsoft Azure
+ operated by 21Vianet in China in September.</p>
+
+ <p>Patches have been developed to support PCIe pass-through (also
+ known as Discrete Device Assignment); this feature allows physical
+ PCIe devices to be passed through to &os; VMs running on Hyper-V
+ (Windows Server 2016), giving them near-native performance with low
+ CPU utilization. The patch to enable the feature will be posted for
+ review soon.</p>
