[PATCH v7 00/18] Implement NTB Controller using multiple PCI EP

From: Kishon Vijay Abraham I
Date: Wed Sep 30 2020 - 11:35:44 EST


This series is about implementing SW defined Non-Transparent Bridge (NTB)
using multiple endpoint (EP) instances. This series has been tested using
2 endpoint instances in J7 connected to J7 board on one end and DRA7 board
on the other end. However there is nothing platform specific for the NTB
functionality.

This was presented in Linux Plumbers Conference. Link to presentation
and video can be found @ [1]

RFC patch series can be found @ [2]
v1 patch series can be found @ [3]
v2 patch series can be found @ [4]
v3 patch series can be found @ [5]
v4 patch series can be found @ [6]
v5 patch series can be found @ [7]
v6 patch series can be found @ [8]

Changes from v6:
1) Fixed issues when multiple NTB devices are creating using multiple
functions
2) Fixed issue with writing scratchpad register
3) Created a video demo @ [9]

Changes from v5:
1) Fixed a formatting issue in Kconfig pointed out by Randy
2) Checked for Error or Null in pci_epc_add_epf()

Changes from v4:
1) Fixed error condition checks in pci_epc_add_epf()

Changes from v3:
1) Fixed Documentation edits suggested by Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Changes from v2:
1) Add support for the user to create sub-directory of 'EPF Device'
directory (for endpoint function specific configuration using
configfs).
2) Add documentation for NTB specific attributes in configfs
3) Check for PCI_CLASS_MEMORY_RAM (PCIe class) before binding ntb_hw_epf
driver
4) Other documentation fixes

Changes from v1:
1) As per Rob's comment, removed support for creating NTB function
device from DT
2) Add support to create NTB EPF device using configfs (added support in
configfs to associate primary and secondary EPC with EPF.

Changes from RFC:
1) Converted the DT binding patches to YAML schema and merged the
DT binding patches together
2) NTB documentation is converted to .rst
3) One HOST can now interrupt the other HOST using MSI-X interrupts
4) Added support for teardown of memory window and doorbell
configuration
5) Add support to provide support 64-bit memory window size from
DT
