![]() The Switchtec hardware has two types of memory windows: LUTs and Direct. The first area in each BAR is for LUT windows and the remaining area is for the direct region. The total number of LUT entries is set by a configuration setting in hardware and they all must be the same size. (This is fixed by switchtec_ntb to be 64K.) switchtec_ntb enables the LUTs only for the first BAR and enables the highest power of two possible. Seeing the LUTs are at the beginning of the BAR, the direct memory window's alignment is affected. Therefore, the maximum direct memory window size can not be greater than the number of LUTs times 64K. The direct window in other BARs will not have this restriction as the LUTs will not be enabled there. LUTs will only be exposed through the NTB API if the use_lut_mw parameter is set. Seeing the Switchtec hardware, by default, configures BARs to be 4G a module parameter is given to limit the size of the advertised memory windows. Higher layers tend to allocate the maximum BAR size and this has a tendency to fail when they try to allocate 4GB of contiguous memory.
