Introduce the module parameter 'use_msi' which, when set uses MSI interrupts instead of doorbells for each queue pair (QP). T he parameter is only available if NTB MSI support is configured into the kernel. We also require there to be more than one memory window (MW) so that an extra one is available to forward the APIC region.
To use MSIs, we request one interrupt per QP and forward the MSI address and data to the peer using scratch pad registers (SPADS) above the MW spads. (If there are not enough SPADS the MSI interrupt will not be used.)
Once registered, we simply use ntb_msi_peer_trigger and the recieving ISR simply queues up the rxc_db_work for the queue.
This addition can significantly improve performance of ntb_transport. In a simple, untuned, apples-to-apples comparision using ntb_netdev and iperf with switchtec hardware, I see 3.88Gb/s without MSI interrupts and 14.1Gb/s which is a more than 3x improvement.
