Instead of starting the split transaction timeout timer when any request
is submitted, start it only when the destination's ACK_PENDING has been
received. This prevents us from using a timeout that is too short, and,
if the controller's AT queue is emptying very slowly, from cancelling
a packet that has not yet been sent.Signed-off-by: Clemens Ladisch

At ifup, carrier status would be shown on even if it actually was off.
Also add an include for ethtool_ops rather than to rely on the one from
netdevice.h.Note, we can alas not use fwnet_device_mutex to serialize access to
dev->peer_count (as I originally wanted). This would cause a lock
inversion:
- fwnet_probe | takes fwnet_device_mutex
+ register_netdev | takes rtnl_mutex
- devinet_ioctl | takes rtnl_mutex
+ fwnet_open | ...must not take fwnet_device_mutexHence use the dev->lock spinlock for serialization.

To make userland, e.g. NetworkManager work with firewire, we need to
detect whether cable is plugged or not. Simple and correct way of doing
that is just counting number of peers. No peers - no link and vice

Unfortunately its easy to trigger such error messages by removing the

flooding the kernel log with these errors, by combining series of same

The buffers used for the selfIDs packets and the AR request and response

Move the AR DMA descriptors out of the buffer pages, and map the buffer
pages linearly into the kernel's address space. This allows the driver
to ignore any page boundaries in the DMA data and thus to avoid any
copying around of packet payloads.This fixes the bug where S800 packets that are so big (> 4080 bytes)
that they can be split over three pages were not handled correctly.Due to the changed algorithm, we can now use arbitrarily many buffer
pages, which improves performance because the controller can more easily
unload its DMA FIFO.Furthermore, using streaming DMA mappings should improve perfomance on
architectures where coherent DMA mappings are not cacheable. Even on
other architectures, the caching behaviour should be improved slightly
because the CPU no longer writes to the buffer pages.v2: Detect the last filled buffer page by searching the descriptor's
residual count value fields in order (like in the old code), instead
of going backwards through the transfer status fields; it looks as
if some controllers do not set the latter correctly.v3: Fix an old resume bug that would now make the handler run into
a BUG_ON, and replace that check with more useful error handling.
Increase the buffer size for better performance with non-TI chips.Signed-off-by: Clemens Ladisch

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.Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter
Tested-by: Maxim Levitsky -
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).Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter

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.Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik

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.Signed-off-by: Clemens Ladisch

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.Signed-off-by: Clemens Ladisch
Tested-by: Maxim Levitsky
Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter -
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.Signed-off-by: Clemens Ladisch

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.===== begin semantic patch =====

- 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.Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter
