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.

The NTB Xeon hardware has 16 scratch pad registers and 16 back-to-back
scratch pad registers. Correct the #define to represent this and update
the variable names to reflect their usage.

This doesn't free the mbuf upon error; the driver ic_raw_xmit method is still
doing that.

Move error handling into ieee80211_parent_xmitpkt() instead of spreading it
between functions.

* Create ieee80211_free_mbuf() which frees a list of mbufs.
* Use it in the fragment transmit path and ath / uath transmit paths.
* Call it in xmit_pkt() if the transmission fails; otherwise fragments
may be leaked.
This should be a big no-op.

The system will appear to lockup for long periods of time due to the NTB
driver spending too much time in memcpy. Avoid this by reducing the
number of packets that can be serviced on a given interrupt.

The ring logic of the NTB receive buffer/transmit memory window requires
there to be at least 2 payload sized allotments. For the minimal size
case, split the buffer into two and set the transport_mtu to the
appropriate size.

If the NTB link toggles, the driver could stop receiving due to the
tx_index not being set to 0 on the transmitting size on a link-up event.
This is due to the driver expecting the incoming data to start at the
beginning of the receive buffer and not at a random place.

Each link-up will allocate a new NTB receive buffer when the NTB
properties are negotiated with the remote system. These allocations did
not check for existing buffers and thus did not free them. Now, the
driver will check for an existing buffer and free it if not of the
correct size, before trying to alloc a new one.

64bit BAR sizes are permissible with an NTB device. To support them
various modifications and clean-ups were required, most significantly
using 2 32bit scratch pad registers for each BAR.
Also, modify the driver to allow more than 2 Memory Windows.

RDMA/cxgb4: Connect_request_upcall fixes
When processing an MPA Start Request, if the listening endpoint is
DEAD, then abort the connection.
If the IWCM returns an error, then we must abort the connection and
release resources. Also abort_connection() should not post a CLOSE
event, so clean that up too.

This was off because the net80211 aggregation code was using the same
state pointers for both fast frames and ampdu tx support which led to some
pretty unfortunate panic-y behaviour.
Now that net80211 doesn't panic, let's flip this back on.
It doesn't (yet) do the horrific sounding thing of A-MPDU aggregates
of fast frames; that'll come next. It's a pre-requisite to supporting
AMSDU + AMPDU anyway, which actually speeds things up quite considerably
(think packing lots of little ACK frames into a single AMSDU.)
Tested:
* QCA955x SoC, AP mode
* AR5416, STA mode
* AR9170, STA mode (with local fast frame patches)
these functions are thin wrappers around calling the hardware-layer driver,
but some of them do sanity checks and return an error. Since the hardware
layer can only return IIC_Exxxxx status values, the iicbus helper functions
must also adhere to that, so that drivers at higher layers can assume that
any non-zero status value is an IIC_Exxxx value that provides details about
what happened at the hardware layer (sometimes those details are important
for certain slave drivers).
errno values that are at least vaguely equivelent. Also add a new status
value, IIC_ERESOURCE, to indicate a failure to acquire memory or other
required resources to complete a transaction.
The IIC_Exxxxxx values are supposed to communicate low-level details of the
i2c transaction status between the lowest-layer hardware driver and
higher-layer bus protocol and device drivers for slave devices on the bus.
Most of those slave drivers just return all status values from the lower
layers directly to their callers, resulting in crazy error reporting from a
user's point of view (things like timeouts being reported as "no such
process"). Now there's a helper function to make it easier to start
cleaning up all those drivers.
Make it clearer what each one means in the comments that define them.
IIC_BUSBSY was used in many places to mean two different things, either
"someone else has reserved the bus so you have to wait until they're done"
or "the signal level on the bus was not in the state I expected before/after
issuing some command".
Now IIC_BUSERR is used consistantly to refer to protocol/signaling errors,
and IIC_BUSBSY refers to ownership/reservation of the bus.
perform a stop operation on the bus if there was an error, otherwise the
bus will remain hung forever. Consistantly use 'if (error != 0)' style in
the function.
The current Xen console driver is crashing very quickly when using it on
an ARM guest. This is because the console lock is recursive and it may
lead to recursion on the tty lock and/or corrupt the ring pointer.
Furthermore, the console lock is not always taken where it should be and has
to be released too early because of the way the console has been designed.
Over the years, code has been modified to support various new features but
the driver has not been reworked.
This new driver has been rewritten with the idea of only having a small set
of specific function to write either via the shared ring or the hypercall
interface.
Note that HVM support has been left aside for now because it requires
additional features which are not yet supported. A follow-up patch will be
sent with HVM guest support.
List of items that may be good to have but not mandatory:
- Avoid to flush for each character written when using the tty
- Support multiple consoles
