Jon Mason 497938890a NTB: Rename Variables for NTB-RP
Many variable names in the NTB driver refer to the primary or secondary
side.  However, these variables will be used to access the reverse case
when in NTB-RP mode.  Make these names more generic in anticipation of
NTB-RP support.

Jon Mason 282a2feeb9 NTB: Use DMA Engine to Transmit and Receive
Allocate and use a DMA engine channel to transmit and receive data over
NTB.  If none is allocated, fall back to using the CPU to transfer data.

Jon Mason be4dac0fca NTB: Update Device IDs
Add support for new Intel NTB devices on upcoming Xeon hardware.  Since
the Xeon hardware design is already in place in the driver, all that is
needed are the new device ids.

Remove the device IDs for NTB devs running in Transparent Bridge mode,
as this driver is not being used for those devices.

Rename the device IDs for NTB devs running in NTB-RP mode to better
identify their usage model.  "PS" to denote the Primary Side of NTB, and
"SS" to denote the secondary side.  The primary side is the interface
exposed to the local system, and the secondary side is the interface
exposed to the remote system.

Jon Mason 113bf1c9f1 NTB: BWD Link Recovery
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.

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.

Jon Mason 1517a3f21a NTB: Correct debugfs to work with more than 1 NTB Device
Debugfs was setup in NTB to only have a single debugfs directory.  This
resulted in the leaking of debugfs directories and files when multiple
NTB devices were present, due to each device stomping on the variables
containing the previous device's values (thus preventing them from being
freed on cleanup).  Correct this by creating a secondary directory of
the PCI BDF for each device present, and nesting the previously existing
information in those directories.

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.
