Crosslink is a feature of the Switchtec switches that is similar to the B2B mode of other NTB devices. It allows a system to be designed that is perfectly symmetric with two identical switches that link two hosts together. In order for the system to be symmetric, there is an empty host-less partition between the two switches which the host must enumerate and assign BAR addresses to. The firmware in the switch manages this specially so that the BAR addresses on both sides of the empty partition will be identical despite being in the same partition with the same address space. The driver determines whether crosslink is enabled by a flag set in the NTB partition info registers which are set by the switch's configuration file. When crosslink is enabled, a reserved LUT window is setup to point to the peer's switch's NTB registers and the local MWs are set to forward to the host-less partition's BARs. (Yes, this hurts my brain too.) Once this is setup, largely the same NTB infrastructure is used to communicate between the two hosts.

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.
