It seems that under certain scenarios the SPAD can have bogus values caused
by an agent (i.e. BIOS or other software) that is not the kernel driver, and
that causes memory window setup failure. This should not cause the link to
be disabled because if we do that, the driver will never recover again. We
have verified in testing that this issue happens and prevents proper link
recovery.

Fixes: 443b9a14ec ("NTB: Alter MW API to support multi-ports devices")
Even though there is no any real NTB hardware, which would have both more
than two ports and Scratchpad registers, it is logically correct to have
Scratchpad API accepting a peer port index as well. Intel/AMD drivers utilize
Primary and Secondary topology to split Scratchpad between connected root
devices. Since port-index API introduced, Intel/AMD NTB hardware drivers can
use device port to determine which Scratchpad registers actually belong to
local and peer devices. The same approach can be used if some potential
hardware in future will be multi-port and have some set of Scratchpads.
Here are the brief of changes in the API:
ntb_spad_count() - return number of Scratchpads per each port
ntb_peer_spad_addr(pidx, sidx) - address of Scratchpad register of the
peer device with pidx-index
ntb_peer_spad_read(pidx, sidx) - read specified Scratchpad register of the
peer with pidx-index
ntb_peer_spad_write(pidx, sidx) - write data to Scratchpad register of the
peer with pidx-index
Since there is hardware which doesn't support Scratchpad registers, the
corresponding API methods are now made optional.

Multi-port NTB devices permit to share a memory between all accessible peers.
Memory Windows API is altered to correspondingly initialize and map memory
windows for such devices:
ntb_mw_count(pidx); - number of inbound memory windows, which can be allocated
for shared buffer with specified peer device.
ntb_mw_get_align(pidx, widx); - get alignment and size restriction parameters
to properly allocate inbound memory region.
ntb_peer_mw_count(); - get number of outbound memory windows.
ntb_peer_mw_get_addr(widx); - get mapping address of an outbound memory window
If hardware supports inbound translation configured on the local ntb port:
ntb_mw_set_trans(pidx, widx); - set translation address of allocated inbound
memory window so a peer device could access it.
ntb_mw_clear_trans(pidx, widx); - clear the translation address of an inbound
memory window.
If hardware supports outbound translation configured on the peer ntb port:
ntb_peer_mw_set_trans(pidx, widx); - set translation address of a memory
window retrieved from a peer device
ntb_peer_mw_clear_trans(pidx, widx); - clear the translation address of an
outbound memory window

There is some NTB hardware, which can combine more than just two domains
over NTB. For instance, some IDT PCIe-switches can have NTB-functions
activated on more than two-ports. The different domains are distinguished
by ports they are connected to. So the new port-related methods are added to
the NTB API:
ntb_port_number() - return local port
ntb_peer_port_count() - return number of peers local port can connect to
ntb_peer_port_number(pdix) - return port number by it index
ntb_peer_port_idx(port) - return port index by it number
Current test-drivers aren't changed much. They still support two-ports devices
for the time being while multi-ports hardware drivers aren't added.
By default port-related API is declared for two-ports hardware.
So corresponding hardware drivers won't need to implement it.

A divide by zero error occurs if qp_count is less than mw_count because
num_qps_mw is calculated to be zero. The calculation appears to be
incorrect.
The requirement is for num_qps_mw to be set to qp_count / mw_count
with any remainder divided among the earlier mws.
For example, if mw_count is 5 and qp_count is 12 then mws 0 and 1
will have 3 qps per window and mws 2 through 4 will have 2 qps per window.
Thus, when mw_num < qp_count % mw_count, num_qps_mw is 1 higher
than when mw_num >= qp_count.

The dma_sync_wait can hurt the performance of workloads mixed with both
large and small frames. Large frames will be copied using the dma
engine. Small frames will be copied by the cpu. The dma_sync_wait
prevents the cpu and dma engine copying in parallel.
In the period where the cpu is copying, the dma engine is stopped. The
dma engine is not doing any useful work to copy large frames during that
time, and the additional time to restart the dma engine for the next
large frame. This will decrease the throughput for the portion of a
workload with large frames.
In the period where the dma engine is copying, the cpu is held up
waiting for dma to complete. The small frames processing will be
delayed until the dma is complete. The RX frames are completed
in-order, and the processing of small frames takes very little time, so
dma_sync_wait may have an insignificant impact on the respose time of
frames. The more significant impact is to the system, because the delay
in dma_sync_wait is implemented as busy non-blocking wait. This can
prevent the delayed core from doing any useful work, even if it could be
processing work for other drivers, unrelated to transport RX processing.
After applying the earlier patch to fix out-of-order RX acknoledgement,
the dma_sync_wait is no longer necessary. Remove it, so that cpu memcpy
will proceed immediately for small frames, in parallel with ongoing dma
for large frames. Do not hold up the cpu from doing work while dma is
in progress. The prior fix will continue to ensure in-order completion
of the RX frames to the upper layer, and in-order delivery of the RX
acknoledgement.

It was possible for a synchronous update of the RX index in the error
case to get ahead of the asynchronous RX index update in the normal

There were two error cases. First, if a buffer is not present to
receive data, there would be no queue entry to preserve the RX
completion order. Instead of dropping the RX frame, leave the RX frame
in the ring. Schedule RX processing when RX entries are enqueued, in
case there are RX frames waiting in the ring to be received.
Second, if a buffer is too small to receive data, drop the frame in the
ring, mark the RX entry as done, and indicate the error in the RX entry
length. Check for a negative length in the receive callback in
ntb_netdev, and count occurrences as rx_length_errors.
