Hi, Everyone,

This patch series adds support of >=4G memory windows.

Current Switchtec's BAR setup registers are limited to 32bits,
corresponding to the maximum MW (memory window) size is <4G.
Increase the MW sizes with the addition of the BAR Setup Extension
Register for the upper 32bits of a 64bits MW size. This increases the MW
range to between 4K and 2^63.

Additionally, we've made the following changes:

* debug print 64bit aligned crosslink BAR numbers
* Fix the array size of NT req id mapping table

Tested with ntb_test.sh successfully based on NTB fixes series from
Logan Gunthorpe <log...@deltatee.com> at
https://github.com/sbates130272/linux-p2pmem on branch of
ntb_multiport_fixes

Regards,
Wesley

The number of available NT req id mapping table entries per NTB control
register is 512. The driver mistakenly limits the number to 256.

Fix the array size of NT req id mapping table.

Thanks for the patches. Overall the look good. Per the kbuild email,
size_t is 32bits on 32bit arch. So, this is going to have compile
warnings on those. Please address this and resubmit.

Also, patches 1 and 3 are bug fixes. Please do the following, reorder
the patches to make the bug fixes first and add a "Fixes" line to the
commit messages (see
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#using-reported-by-tested-by-reviewed-by-suggested-by-and-fixes).
This will allow me to split up the series and get the bug fixes into
v4.20 (and the stable trees).

Thanks,
Jon

Hi, Everyone,

This patch series adds support of >=4G memory windows.

Current Switchtec's BAR setup registers are limited to 32bits,
corresponding to the maximum MW (memory window) size is <4G.
Increase the MW sizes with the addition of the BAR Setup Extension
Register for the upper 32bits of a 64bits MW size. This increases the MW
range to between 4K and 2^63.

Additionally, we've made the following changes:

* debug print 64bit aligned crosslink BAR numbers
* Fix the array size of NT req id mapping table

Changed since v1:
- Using upper_32_bits() and lower_32_bits() marcos makes it easier
to read and avoids compiler warning on 32-bit arch
- Reorder the patches to make the bug fixes first and add a "Fixes"
line to the commit messages

So, you based your patches on a series of patches not in the
ntb/ntb-next branch? Please don't do this. I see nothing in these
patches which requires that series, which makes this even more
unnecessary. Since these are fairly trivial, I'm taking them and
pushing to the ntb-next branch to give these more time to be tested
(due to not being tested on the proper branch). I would really
appreciate you testing the ntb-next branch as a sanity check.

Thanks,
Jon

The NTB test tools don't work with switchtec hardware without that patch
set, so there's no way to test the changes without that branch.

You're right that there is no compile-time dependency.

Then let's get those patches in. IIRC, I asked you to split up the
patch series to be bugfixes and features (or at least reorder the
series so I can split it up that way in my branches). Also, I think
Serge had some comments that may/may not need to be addressed. Could
you please reorder and resend (and Serge can comment as needed on the
resend)?

Thanks,
Jon

I resent a while back and responded to all the feedback. Every patch in
that series fixes a bug. None of them add features.

Per https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/6/12/552, I asked the series be split
up and the comments to be cleaned-up. You repushed without addressing
this (or Serge's comments), which caused me to ignore the series.
Again, I'm happy to take it as a single series and split it up on my
end, I just need the patches reordered to have the bugfixes I
specified in the front to allow for this to be easily done.

Alternatively, you can rebase and resend them as-is to the ntb mailing
list and we can rehash it out there.

Thanks,
Jon

And what was not clear about my response?

https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/6/12/577

That commit is absolutely *not* a feature request. Without it, none of
the other fixes will fix anything and are thus worse than useless.

I responded to Serge's comments and then responded *again* in the cover
letter of v2. What he was asking for was, and still is, physically
impossible.
