Jon Mason 448c6fb3a3 NTB: Out of free receive entries issue
If the NTB client driver enqueues the maximum number of rx buffers, it
will not be able to re-enqueue another in its callback handler due to a
lack of free entries.  This can be avoided by adding the current entry
to the free queue prior to calling the client callback handler.  With
this change, ntb_netdev will no longer encounter a rx error on its first
packet.

Jon Mason 793c20e9c9 NTB: Remove reads across NTB
CPU reads across NTB are slow(er) and can hang the local system if an
ECC error is encountered on the remote.  To work around the need for a
read, have the remote side write its current position in the rx buffer
to the local system's buffer and use that to see if there is room when
transmitting.

Jon Mason d7237e22bb NTB: correct stack usage warning in debugfs_read
Correct gcc warning of using too much stack debugfs_read.  This is done
by kmallocing the buffer instead of using the char array on stack.
Also, shrinking the buffer to something closer to what is currently
being used.

Jon Mason 7b4f2d3c3b NTB: No sleeping in interrupt context
Move all cancel_delayed_work_sync to a work thread to prevent sleeping
in interrupt context (when the NTB link goes down).  Caught via
'Sleep inside atomic section checking'

Jon Mason ef114ed506 NTB: separate transmit and receive windows
Since it is possible for the memory windows on the two NTB connected
systems to be different sizes, the divergent sizes must be accounted for
in the segmentation of the MW's on each side.  Create separate size
variables and initialization as necessary.

Jon Mason 842c1ddea5 NTB: correct memory barrier
mmiowb is not sufficient to flush the data and is causing data
corruption.  Change to wmb and the data corruption is no more.

Jon Mason 8222b402e2 NTB: Handle ntb client device probes without present hardware
Attempts to probe client ntb drivers without ntb hardware present will
result in null pointer dereference due to the lack of the ntb bus device
being registers.  Check to see if this is the case, and fail all calls
by the clients registering their drivers.

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.
