Dave Jiang 260bee9451 NTB: Fix oops in debugfs when transport is half-up
When the remote side is not up, we do not have all the context for the
transport, and that causes NULL ptr access. Have the debugfs reads check
to see if transport is up before we make access.

Dave Jiang c8650fd03d NTB: Fix transport stats for multiple devices
Currently the debugfs does not have files for all NTB transport queue
pairs.  When there are multiple NTBs present in a system, the QP names
of the last transport clobber the names of previously added transport
QPs.  Only the last added QPs can be observed via debugfs.

Create a directory per NTB transport to associate the QPs with that
transport.  Name the directory the same as the PCI device.

Allen Hubbe da2e5ae561 NTB: Fix ntb_transport out-of-order RX update
It was possible for a synchronous update of the RX index in the error
case to get ahead of the asynchronous RX index update in the normal
case.  Change the RX processing to preserve an RX completion order.

There were two error cases.  First, if a buffer is not present to
receive data, there would be no queue entry to preserve the RX
completion order.  Instead of dropping the RX frame, leave the RX frame
in the ring.  Schedule RX processing when RX entries are enqueued, in
case there are RX frames waiting in the ring to be received.

Second, if a buffer is too small to receive data, drop the frame in the
ring, mark the RX entry as done, and indicate the error in the RX entry
length.  Check for a negative length in the receive callback in
ntb_netdev, and count occurrences as rx_length_errors.

Jon Mason 948d3a65b6 NTB: Xeon Errata Workaround
There is a Xeon hardware errata related to writes to SDOORBELL or
B2BDOORBELL in conjunction with inbound access to NTB MMIO Space, which
may hang the system.  To workaround this issue, use one of the memory
windows to access the interrupt and scratch pad registers on the remote
system.  This bypasses the issue, but removes one of the memory windows
from use by the transport.  This reduction of MWs necessitates adding
some logic to determine the number of available MWs.

Since some NTB usage methodologies may have unidirectional traffic, the
ability to disable the workaround via modparm has been added.

Greg Kroah-Hartman 78a61ab79a ntb: remove __dev* markings
These are now gone from the kernel, so remove them from the newly-added
drivers before they start to cause build errors for people.

Jon Mason fce8a7bb5b PCI-Express Non-Transparent Bridge Support
A PCI-Express non-transparent bridge (NTB) is a point-to-point PCIe bus
connecting 2 systems, providing electrical isolation between the two subsystems.
A non-transparent bridge is functionally similar to a transparent bridge except
that both sides of the bridge have their own independent address domains.  The
host on one side of the bridge will not have the visibility of the complete
memory or I/O space on the other side of the bridge.  To communicate across the
non-transparent bridge, each NTB endpoint has one (or more) apertures exposed to
the local system.  Writes to these apertures are mirrored to memory on the
remote system.  Communications can also occur through the use of doorbell
registers that initiate interrupts to the alternate domain, and scratch-pad
registers accessible from both sides.

The NTB device driver is needed to configure these memory windows, doorbell, and
scratch-pad registers as well as use them in such a way as they can be turned
into a viable communication channel to the remote system.  ntb_hw.[ch]
determines the usage model (NTB to NTB or NTB to Root Port) and abstracts away
the underlying hardware to provide access and a common interface to the doorbell
registers, scratch pads, and memory windows.  These hardware interfaces are
exported so that other, non-mainlined kernel drivers can access these.
ntb_transport.[ch] also uses the exported interfaces in ntb_hw.[ch] to setup a
communication channel(s) and provide a reliable way of transferring data from
one side to the other, which it then exports so that "client" drivers can access
them.  These client drivers are used to provide a standard kernel interface
(i.e., Ethernet device) to NTB, such that Linux can transfer data from one
system to the other in a standard way.
