If one host crashes and soft reboots, the other host may not see a link down event. Then when the crashed host comes back up, the surviving host may not know the link was reset and the NTB clients may not work without being reset. To solve this, we send a LINK_FORCE_DOWN message to each peer every time we come up, before we register the NTB device. If a surviving host still thinks the link is up it will take it down immediately. In this way, once the crashed host comes up fully, it will send a regular link up event as per usual and the link will be properly restarted. While we are in the area, this also fixes the MSG_LINK_UP message that was in the link down function that was reported by Doug Meyers.

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.
