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. Authored by: Jon Mason Obtained from: Linux Sponsored by: EMC / Isilon Storage Division |
