[ Upstream commit 5f7d78b2b12a9d561f48fa00bab29b40f4616dad ]

TX/RX callback handlers (ntb_netdev_tx_handler(),
ntb_netdev_rx_handler()) can be called in interrupt
context via the DMA framework when the respective
DMA operations have completed. As such, any calls
by these routines to free skb's, should use the
interrupt context safe dev_kfree_skb_any() function.

Previously, these callback handlers would call the
interrupt unsafe version of dev_kfree_skb(). This has
not presented an issue on Intel IOAT DMA engines as
that driver utilizes tasklets rather than a hard
interrupt handler, like the AMD PTDMA DMA driver.
On AMD systems, a kernel WARNING message is
encountered, which is being issued from
skb_release_head_state() due to in_hardirq()
being true.

Besides the user visible WARNING from the kernel,
the other symptom of this bug was that TCP/IP performance
across the ntb_netdev interface was very poor, i.e.
approximately an order of magnitude below what was
expected. With the repair to use dev_kfree_skb_any(),
kernel WARNINGs from skb_release_head_state() ceased
and TCP/IP performance, as measured by iperf, was on
par with expected results, approximately 20 Gb/s on
AMD Milan based server. Note that this performance
is comparable with Intel based servers.

[ Upstream commit b8f79dccd38edf7db4911c353d9cd792ab13a327 ]

The ntb_netdev_init_module() returns the ntb_transport_register_client()
directly without checking its return value, if
ntb_transport_register_client() failed, the NTB client device is not
unregistered.

Fix by unregister NTB client device when ntb_transport_register_client()
failed.

At present, ntb_netdev devices end up under /sys/devices/virtual/net
completely unconnected to the ntb trees below them. This patch sets the
parent of the net_device (using SET_NETDEV_DEV) to the client_dev
device. This results in a better connected sysfs path for the network
device:

/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/0000:03:00.1/0000:03:00.1/ntb_netdev0/net/eth2

Right now if we push the NTB really hard, we start dropping packets due
to not able to process the packets fast enough. We need to st:qop the
upper layer from flooding us when that happens.

A timer is necessary in order to restart the queue once the resource has
been processed on the receive side. Due to the way NTB is setup, the
resources on the tx side are tied to the processing of the rx side and
there's no async way to know when the rx side has released those
resources.
