The NTB MSI library allows passing MSI interrupts across a memory
window. This offers similar functionality to doorbells or messages
except will often have much better latency and the client can
potentially use significantly more remote interrupts than typical hardware
provides for doorbells. (Which can be important in high-multiport
setups.)The library utilizes one memory window per peer and uses the highest
index memory windows. Before any ntb_msi function may be used, the user
must call ntb_msi_init(). It may then setup and tear down the memory
windows when the link state changes using ntb_msi_setup_mws() and
ntb_msi_clear_mws().The peer which receives the interrupt must call ntb_msim_request_irq()
to assign the interrupt handler (this function is functionally
similar to devm_request_irq()) and the returned descriptor must be
transferred to the peer which can use it to trigger the interrupt.
The triggering peer, once having received the descriptor, can
trigger the interrupt by calling ntb_msi_peer_trigger().Signed-off-by: Logan Gunthorpe

The kbuild system does not support having multiple source files in
a module if one of those source files has the same name as the module.Therefore, we must rename ntb.c to core.c, while the module remains
ntb.ko.This is similar to the way the nvme modules are structured.

This is a simple ping pong driver that exercises the scratch pads and
doorbells of the ntb hardware. This driver may be used to test that
your ntb hardware and drivers are functioning at a basic level.Signed-off-by: Allen Hubbe

This patch only moves files to their new locations, before applying the
next two patches adding the NTB Abstraction layer. Splitting this patch
from the next is intended make distinct which code is changed only due
to moving the files, versus which are substantial code changes in adding
the NTB Abstraction layer.Signed-off-by: Allen Hubbe

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.Signed-off-by: Jon Mason
