When the link goes down, the link_is_up flag did not return to
false. This could have caused some subtle corner case bugs
when the link goes up and down quickly.
Once that was fixed, there was found to be a race if the link was
brought down then immediately up. The link_cleanup work would
occasionally be scheduled after the next link up event. This would
cancel the link_work that was supposed to occur and leave ntb_perf
in an unusable state.
To fix this we get rid of the link_cleanup work and put the actions
directly in the link_down event.

In order to more successfully script with ntb_tool it's useful to
have a link file to check the link status so that the script
doesn't use the other files until the link is up.
This commit adds a 'link' file to the debugfs directory which reads
boolean (Y or N) depending on the link status. Writing to the file
change the link state using ntb_link_enable or ntb_link_disable.
A 'link_event' file is also provided so an application can block until
the link changes to the desired state. If the user writes a 1, it will
block until the link is up. If the user writes a 0, it will block until
the link is down.

In order to make the interface closer to the raw NTB API, this commit
changes memory windows so they are not initialized on link up.
Instead, the 'peer_trans*' debugfs files are introduced. When read,
they return information provided by ntb_mw_get_range. When written,
they create a buffer and initialize the memory window. The
value written is taken as the requested size of the buffer (which
is then rounded for alignment). Writing a value of zero frees the buffer
and tears down the memory window translation. The 'peer_mw*' file is
only created once the memory window translation is setup by the user.
Additionally, it was noticed that the read and write functions for the
'peer_mw*' files should have checked for a NULL pointer.

This commit accomplishes a few things:
1) Properly prevent multiple sets of threads from running at once using
a mutex. Lots of race issues existed with the thread_cleanup.
2) The mutex allows us to ensure that threads are finished before
tearing down the device or module.
3) Don't use kthread_stop when the threads can exit by themselves, as
this is counter-indicated by the kthread_create documentation. Threads
now wait for kthread_stop to occur.
4) Writing to the run file now blocks until the threads are complete.
The test can then be safely interrupted by a SIGINT.
Also, while I was at it:
5) debugfs_run_write shouldn't return 0 in the early check cases as this
could cause debugfs_run_write to loop undesirably.

The dma_sync_wait can hurt the performance of workloads mixed with both
large and small frames. Large frames will be copied using the dma
engine. Small frames will be copied by the cpu. The dma_sync_wait
prevents the cpu and dma engine copying in parallel.
In the period where the cpu is copying, the dma engine is stopped. The
dma engine is not doing any useful work to copy large frames during that
time, and the additional time to restart the dma engine for the next
large frame. This will decrease the throughput for the portion of a
workload with large frames.
In the period where the dma engine is copying, the cpu is held up
waiting for dma to complete. The small frames processing will be
delayed until the dma is complete. The RX frames are completed
in-order, and the processing of small frames takes very little time, so
dma_sync_wait may have an insignificant impact on the respose time of
frames. The more significant impact is to the system, because the delay
in dma_sync_wait is implemented as busy non-blocking wait. This can
prevent the delayed core from doing any useful work, even if it could be
processing work for other drivers, unrelated to transport RX processing.
After applying the earlier patch to fix out-of-order RX acknoledgement,
the dma_sync_wait is no longer necessary. Remove it, so that cpu memcpy
will proceed immediately for small frames, in parallel with ongoing dma
for large frames. Do not hold up the cpu from doing work while dma is
in progress. The prior fix will continue to ensure in-order completion
of the RX frames to the upper layer, and in-order delivery of the RX
acknoledgement.

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

Commit ab760a0 (ntb: Adding split BAR support for Haswell platforms)
changed ntb_device's mw from a fixed-size array into a pointer that is
allocated based on limits.max_mw; however, on Atom platforms, max_mw
is not initialized until ntb_device_setup(), which happens after the
allocation.
Fill out max_mw in ntb_atom_detect() to match ntb_xeon_detect(); this
happens before the use of max_mw in the ndev->mw allocation.
Fixes a null pointer dereference on Atom platforms with ntb hardware.

Add support for Non-Transparent Bridge connected to a PCI-E Root Port on
the remote system (also known as NTB-RP mode). This allows for a NTB
enabled system to be connected to a non-NTB enabled system/slot.
Modifications to the registers and BARs/MWs on the Secondary side by the
remote system are reflected into registers on the Primary side for the
local system. Similarly, modifications of registers and BARs/MWs on
Primary side by the local system are reflected into registers on the
Secondary side for the Remote System. This allows communication between
the 2 sides via these registers and BARs/MWs.
Note: there is not a fix for the Xeon Errata (that was already worked
around in NTB-B2B mode) for NTB-RP mode. Due to this limitation, NTB-RP
will not work on the Secondary side with the Xeon Errata workaround
enabled. To get around this, disable the workaround via the

The BWD NTB device will drop the link if an error is encountered on the
point-to-point PCI bridge. The link will stay down until all errors are
cleared and the link is re-established. On link down, check to see if
the error is detected, if so do the necessary housekeeping to try and
recover from the error and reestablish the link.
There is a potential race between the 2 NTB devices recovering at the
same time. If the times are synchronized, the link will not recover and the
driver will be stuck in this loop forever. Add a random interval to the
recovery time to prevent this race.

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.

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.
