This resolves a bug which may incorrectly configure the peer host's LUT for shared memory window access. The code was using the local host's first BAR number, rather than the peer hosts's first BAR number, to determine what peer NT control register to program. The bug will cause the Switchtec NTB link to work only if both peers have the same first NTB BAR configured. In all other configurations, the link will not come up, failing silently. When both hosts have the same first BAR, the configuration works only because the first BAR numbers happent to be the same. When the hosts do not have the same first BAR, then the LUT translation will not be configured in the correct peer LUT and will not give the peer the shared memory window access required for the link to operate.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
