Agere FW643 rev 06, listed as "11c1:5901 (rev 06) (prog-if 10 [OHCI])",
produced SBP-2 I/O errors since kernel 2.6.36. Disabling MSI fixes it.
Since MSI work on Agere FW643-E (same vendor and device ID, but rev 07),
introduce a device revision field into firewire-ohci's quirks list so
that different quirks can be defined for older and newer revisions.

"VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6315 Series Firewire Controller [1106:3403]"
does not generate any interrupts if Message Signaled Interrupts were
enabled. This is a regression since kernel 2.6.36 in which MSI support
was added to firewire-ohci. Hence blacklist MSI on all VIA controllers.

This prevents firewire-net from submitting write requests in fast
succession until failure due to all 64 transaction labels were used up
for unfinished split transactions. The netif_stop/wake_queue API is
used for this purpose.
Without this stop/wake mechanism, datagrams were simply lost whenever
the tlabel pool was exhausted. Plus, tlabel exhaustion by firewire-net
also prevented other unrelated outbound transactions to be initiated.
The chosen queue depth was checked by me to hit the maximum possible
throughput with an OS X peer whose receive DMA is good enough to never
reject requests due to busy inbound request FIFO. Current Linux peers
show a mixed picture of -5%...+15% change in bandwidth; their current
bottleneck are RCODE_BUSY situations (fewer or more, depending on TX
queue depth) due to too small AR buffer in firewire-ohci.
Maxim Levitsky tested this change with similar watermarks with a Linux
peer and some pending firewire-ohci improvements that address the
RCODE_BUSY problem and confirmed that these TX queue limits are good.
Note: This removes some netif_wake_queue from reception code paths.
They were apparently copy&paste artefacts from a nonsensical
netif_wake_queue use in the older eth1394 driver. This belongs only
into the transmit path.

The current transmit code does not at all make use of
- fwnet_device.packet_list
and only very limited use of
- fwnet_device.broadcasted_list,
- fwnet_device.queued_packets.
Their current function is to track whether the TX soft-IRQ finished
dealing with an skb when the AT-req tasklet takes over, and to discard
pending tx datagrams (if there are any) when the local node is removed.
The latter does actually contain a race condition bug with TX soft-IRQ
and AT-req tasklet.
Instead of these lists and the corresponding link in fwnet_packet_task,
- a flag in fwnet_packet_task to track whether fwnet_tx is done,
- a counter of queued datagrams in fwnet_device
do the job as well.
The above mentioned theoretic race condition is resolved by letting
fwnet_remove sleep until all datagrams were flushed. It may sleep
almost arbitrarily long since fwnet_remove is executed in the context of
a multithreaded (concurrency managed) workqueue.
The type of max_payload is changed to u16 here to avoid waste in struct
fwnet_packet_task. This value cannot exceed 4096 per IEEE 1394:2008
table 16-18 (or 32678 per specification of packet headers, if there is
ever going to be something else than beta mode).

a) fwnet_transmit_packet_done used to poison ptask->pt_link by list_del.
If fwnet_send_packet checked later whether it was responsible to clean
up (in the border case that the TX soft IRQ was outpaced by the AT-req
tasklet on another CPU), it missed this because ptask->pt_link was no
longer shown as empty.
b) If fwnet_write_complete got an rcode other than RCODE_COMPLETE, we
missed to free the skb and ptask entirely.
Also, count stats.tx_dropped and stats.tx_errors when rcode != 0.

Move the mid-layer's ->queuecommand() invocation from being locked
with the host lock to being unlocked to facilitate speeding up the
critical path for drivers who don't need this lock taken anyway.
The patch below presents a simple SCSI host lock push-down as an
equivalent transformation. No locking or other behavior should change
with this patch. All existing bugs and locking orders are preserved.
Additionally, add one parameter to queuecommand,
struct Scsi_Host *
and remove one parameter from queuecommand,
void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *)
Scsi_Host* is a convenient pointer that most host drivers need anyway,
and 'done' is redundant to struct scsi_cmnd->scsi_done.
Minimal code disturbance was attempted with this change. Most drivers
needed only two one-line modifications for their host lock push-down.

If the controller is storing a split packet and therefore changing
d->res_count to zero between the two reads by the driver, we end up with
an end pointer that is not at a packet boundary, and therefore overflow
the buffer when handling the split packet.
To fix this, read the field once, atomically. The compiler usually
merges the two reads anyway, but for correctness, we have to enforce it.

Freeing an AR buffer page just to allocate a new page immediately
afterwards is not only a pointless effort but also dangerous because
the allocation can fail, which would result in an oops later.
Split ar_context_add_page() into two functions so that we can reuse
the old page directly.

When handling an AR buffer that has been completely filled, we assumed
that its descriptor will not be read by the controller and can be
overwritten. However, when the last received packet happens to end at
the end of the buffer, the controller might not yet have moved on to the
next buffer and might read the branch address later. If we overwrite
and free the page before that, the DMA context will either go dead
because of an invalid Z value, or go off into some random memory.
To fix this, ensure that the descriptor does not get overwritten by
using only the actual buffer instead of the entire page for reassembling
the split packet. Furthermore, to avoid freeing the page too early,
move on to the next buffer only when some data in it guarantees that the
controller has moved on.
This should eliminate the remaining firewire-net problems.

When the controller had to split a received asynchronous packet into two
buffers, the driver tries to reassemble it by copying both parts into
the first page. However, if size + rest > PAGE_SIZE, i.e., if the yet
unhandled packets before the split packet, the split packet itself, and
any received packets after the split packet are together larger than one
page, then the memory after the first page would get overwritten.
To fix this, do not try to copy the data of all unhandled packets at
once, but copy the possibly needed data every time when handling
a packet.
This gets rid of most of the infamous crashes and data corruptions when
using firewire-net.

"firewire: ohci: fix up configuration of TI chips".
It caused massive slow-down and data corruption with a TSB82AA2 based
StarTech EC1394B2 ExpressCard and FireWire 800 harddisks.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/657081
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.firewire.user/4013
The fact that some card EEPROMs do not program these enhancements may be
related to TSB81BA3 phy chip errata, if not to bugs of TSB82AA2 itself.
We could re-add these configuration steps, but only conditional on a
whitelist of cards on which these enhancements bring a proven positive
effect.

All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.
The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.
The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

The drivers
- ohci1394 (controller driver)
- ieee1394 (core)
- dv1394, raw1394, video1394 (userspace ABI)
- eth1394, sbp2 (protocol drivers)
are replaced by
- firewire-ohci (controller driver)
- firewire-core (core and userspace ABI)
- firewire-net, firewire-sbp2 (protocol drivers)
which are more featureful, better performing, and more secure than the older
drivers; all with a smaller and more modern code base.
The driver firedtv in drivers/media/dvb/firewire/ contains backends to both
ieee1394 and firewire-core. Its ieee1394 backend code can be removed in an
independent commit; firedtv as-is builds and works fine without ieee1394.
The driver pcilynx (an incomplete controller driver) is deleted without
replacement since PCILynx cards are extremely rare. Owners of these cards
use them with the stand-alone bus sniffer driver nosy instead.
The drivers nosy and init_ohci1394_dma which do not interact with either of
the two IEEE 1394 stacks are not affected by the ieee1394 subsystem removal.
There are still some issues with the newer firewire subsystem compared to
the older one:
- The rare and quirky controllers ALi M52xx, Apple UniNorth v1, NVIDIA
NForce2 are even less well supported by firewire-ohci than by ohci1394.
I am looking into the M52xx issue.
- The experimental firewire-net is reportedly less stable than its
experimental cousin eth1394.
- Audio playback of a certain group of audio devices (ones based on DICE
chipset with EAP; supported by prerelease FFADO code) does not work yet.
This issue is still under investigation.
- There were some ieee1394 based out-of-the-mainline drivers. Of them,
only lisight, an audio driver for iSight webcams, seems still useful.
Work is underway to reimplement it on top of firewire-core.
All these remainig issues are minor; they should not stand in the way of
overall better user experience of IEEE 1394 on Linux, together with a
reduction in support efforts and maintenance burden. The coexistence of two
IEEE 1394 kernel driver stacks in the mainline since 2.6.22 shall end now,
as announced earlier this year.

VIA VT6306, VIA VT6308, and NEC OrangeLink controllers do not write
packet event codes for received PHY packets (or perhaps write
evt_no_status, hard to tell). Work around it by overwriting the
packet's ACK by ack_complete, so that upper layers that listen to PHY
packet reception get to see these packets.
(Also tested: TI TSB82AA2, TI TSB43AB22/A, TI XIO2213A, Agere FW643,
JMicron JMB381 --- these do not exhibit this bug.)
Clemens proposed a quirks flag for that, IOW whitelist known misbehaving
controllers for this workaround. Though to me it seems harmless enough
to enable for all controllers.
The log_ar_at_event() debug log will continue to show the original
status from the DMA unit.

The incoming request hander fwnet_receive_packet() expects subsequent
datagram handling code to return non-zero on errors. However, almost
none of the failure paths did so. Fix them all.
(This error reporting is used to send and RCODE_CONFLICT_ERROR to the
sender node in such failure cases. Two modes of failure exist: Out of
memory, or firewire-net is unaware of any peer node to which a fragment
or an ARP packet belongs. However, it is unclear whether a sender can
actually make use of such information. A Linux peer apparently can't.
Maybe it should all be simplified to void functions.)

The stalls happen during heavy or moderate disk traffic in periods that
are a multiple of 5 minutes, roughly twice per hour. They are caused
by the target responding too late to an ORB_Pointer register write:
The target responds after Split_Timeout, hence firewire-core cancels
the transaction, and firewire-sbp2 fails the SCSI request. The SCSI
core retries the request, that fails again (and again), hence SCSI core
calls firewire-sbp2's abort handler (and even the Management_Agent
register write in the abort handler has the transaction timeout
problem).
During all that, the process which issued the I/O is stalled in I/O
wait state.
Meanwhile, the target actually acts on the first failed SCSI request:
It responds to the ORB_Pointer write later (seen in the kernel log as
"firewire_core: Unsolicited response") and also finishes the SCSI
request with proper status (seen in the kernel log as "firewire_sbp2:
status write for unknown orb").
So let's just ignore RCODE_CANCELLED in the transaction callback and
wait for the target to complete the ORB nevertheless. This requires
a small modification is sbp2_cancel_orbs(); it now needs to call
orb->callback() regardless whether fw_cancel_transaction() found the
transaction unfinished or finished.
A different solution is to increase Split_Timeout on the local node.
(Tested: 2000ms timeout; maybe 1000ms or something like that works too.
200ms is insufficient. Standard is 100ms.) However, I rather not do
this because any software on any node could change the Split_Timeout to
something unsuitable. Or such a large Split_Timeout may be undesirable
for other purposes.

When an ORB was canceled (Command ORB i.e. SCSI request timed out, or
Management ORB timed out), or there was a send error in the initial
transaction, we missed to drop one of the ORB's references and thus
leaked memory.
Background:
In total, we hold 3 references to each Operation Request Block:
- 1 during sbp2_scsi_queuecommand() or sbp2_send_management_orb()
respectively,
- 1 for the duration of the write transaction to the ORB_Pointer or
Management_Agent register of the target,
- 1 for as long as the ORB stays within the lu->orb_list, until
the ORB is unlinked from the list and the orb->callback was
executed.
The latter one of these 3 references is finished
- normally by sbp2_status_write() when the target wrote status
for a pending ORB,
- or by sbp2_cancel_orbs() in case of an ORB time-out,
- or by complete_transaction() in case of a send error.
Of them, the latter two lacked the kref_put.
Add the missing kref_put()s. Add comments to the gets and puts of
references for transaction callbacks and ORB callbacks so that it is
easier to see what is supposed to happen.

The driver name and bus address for a net_device can normally be found
through the driver model now. Instead of requiring drivers to provide
this information redundantly through the ethtool_ops::get_drvinfo
operation, use the driver model to do so if the driver does not define
the operation. Since ETHTOOL_GDRVINFO no longer requires the driver
to implement any operations, do not require net_device::ethtool_ops to
be set either.
Remove implementations of get_drvinfo and ethtool_ops that provide
only this information.

This adds the DMA context programming and userspace ABI for multichannel
reception, i.e. for listening on multiple channel numbers by means of a
single DMA context.
The use case is reception of more streams than there are IR DMA units
offered by the link layer. This is already implemented by the older
ohci1394 + ieee1394 + raw1394 stack. And as discussed recently on
linux1394-devel, this feature is occasionally used in practice.
The big drawbacks of this mode are that buffer layout and interrupt
generation necessarily differ from single-channel reception: Headers
and trailers are not stripped from packets, packets are not aligned with
buffer chunks, interrupts are per buffer chunk, not per packet.
These drawbacks also cause a rather hefty code footprint to support this
rarely used OHCI-1394 feature. (367 lines added, among them 94 lines of
added userspace ABI documentation.)
This implementation enforces that a multichannel reception context may
only listen to channels to which no single-channel context on the same
link layer is presently listening to. OHCI-1394 would allow to overlay
single-channel contexts by the multi-channel context, but this would be
a departure from the present first-come-first-served policy of IR
context creation.
The implementation is heavily based on an earlier one by Jay Fenlason.
Thanks Jay.

firewire-ohci keeps book of which isochronous channels are occupied by
IR DMA contexts, so that there cannot be more than one context listening
to a certain channel.
If IR context creation failed due to an out-of-memory condition, this
bookkeeping leaked a channel.

1.) The DMA programs (struct pcl) are PCI-endian = little endian data
(except for the 3rd quadlet in a PCL which the controller does not
touch). Annotate them as such.
Fix all accesses of the PCL to work with big endian CPUs also. Not
actually tested, I only have a little endian PC to test with. This
includes replacement of a bitfield struct pcl_status by open-coded
shift and mask operations.
2.) The two __attribute__ ((packed)) at struct pcl are not really
required since it consists of u32/__le32 only, i.e. there will be no
padding with or without the attribute.
3.) The received IEEE 1394 data are byteswapped by the controller from
IEEE 1394 endian = big endian to PCI endian = little endian because the
PCL_BIGENDIAN control bit is set. Therefore annotate the DMA buffer as
a __le32 array.
Fix the one access of the DMA buffer (the check of the transaction code
of link packets) to work with big endian CPUs. Also fix the two
accesses of the client bounce buffer (the reading of packet length).
4.) Add a comment to the userspace ABI header that all of the data gets
out as little endian data, except for the timestamp which is CPU endian.
(We could make it little endian too, but why? Vice versa, an ioctl
could be added to dump packet data in big endian byte order...)

The required serialization of NOSY_IOC_START and NOSY_IOC_STOP is
already provided by the client_list_lock.
NOSY_IOC_FILTER does not really require serialization since accesses
to tcode_mask are atomic on any sane CPU architecture. Nevertheless,
make it explicit that we want this to be atomic by means of
client_list_lock (which also surrounds the other tcode_mask access in
the IRQ handler). While we are at it, change the type of tcode_mask to
u32 for consistency with the user API.
NOSY_IOC_GET_STATS does not require serialization against itself. But
there is a bug here regarding concurrent updates of the two counters
by the IRQ handler. Fix it by taking the client_list_lock in this ioctl
too.

This adds the traffic sniffer driver for Texas Instruments PCILynx/
PCILynx2 based cards. The use cases for nosy are analysis of
nonstandard protocols and as an aid in development of drivers,
applications, or firmwares.
Author of the driver is Kristian Høgsberg. Known contributers are
Jody McIntyre and Jonathan Woithe.
Nosy programs PCILynx chips to operate in promiscuous mode, which is a
feature that is not found in OHCI-1394 controllers. Hence, only special
hardware as mentioned in the Kconfig help text is suitable for nosy.
This is only the kernelspace part of nosy. There is a userspace
interface to it, called nosy-dump, proposed to be added into the tools/
subdirectory of the kernel sources in a subsequent change. Kernelspace
and userspave component of nosy communicate via a 'misc' character
device file called /dev/nosy with a simple ioctl() and read() based
protocol, as described by nosy-user.h.
The files added here are taken from
git://anongit.freedesktop.org/~krh/nosy commit ee29be97 (2009-11-10)
with the following changes by Stefan Richter:
- Kconfig and Makefile hunks are written from scratch.
- Commented out version printk in nosy.c.
- Included missing <linux/sched.h>, reported by Stephen Rothwell.
"git shortlog nosy{-user.h,.c,.h}" from nosy's git repository:
Jonathan Woithe (2):
Nosy updates for recent kernels
Fix uninitialised memory (needed for 2.6.31 kernel)
Kristian Høgsberg (5):
Pull over nosy from mercurial repo.
Use a misc device instead.
Add simple AV/C decoder.
Don't break down on big payloads.
Set parent device for misc device.
As a low-level IEEE 1394 driver, its files are placed into
drivers/firewire/ although nosy is not part of the firewire driver
stack.
