  • because drivers/ieee1394/ will be deleted.

    Additional changes:
    - add some #include directives
    - adjust to use firewire/ohci.h instead of ieee1394/ohci1394.h,
    replace struct ti_ohci by a minimal struct ohci,
    replace quadlet_t from ieee1394_types.h by u32
    - two or three trivial stylistic changes
    - __iomem annotation

  • 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 , 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.

    I am aware of the following literature from Texas Instruments about
    PCILynx programming:
    SCPA020A - PCILynx 1394 to PCI Bus Interface TSB12LV21BPGF
    Functional Specification
    SLLA023 - Initialization and Asynchronous Programming of the
    TSB12LV21A 1394 Device

  • The driver is now called firewire-net. It might implement the transport
    of other networking protocols in the future, notably IPv6 per RFC 3146.

  • Implement IPv4 over IEEE 1394 as per RFC 2734 for the newer firewire
    stack. This feature has only been present in the older ieee1394 stack
    via the eth1394 driver.

    Still to do:
    - fix ipv4_priv and ipv4_node lifetime logic
    - fix determination of speeds and max payloads
    - fix bus reset handling
    - fix unaligned memory accesses
    - fix coding style
    - further testing/ improvement of fragment reassembly
    - perhaps multicast support

  • The source files of firewire-core, firewire-ohci, firewire-sbp2, i.e.
    "drivers/firewire/fw-*.c"
    are renamed to
    "drivers/firewire/core-*.c",
    "drivers/firewire/ohci.c",
    "drivers/firewire/sbp2.c".

    The old fw- prefix was redundant to the directory name. The new core-
    prefix distinguishes the files according to which driver they belong to.

    This change comes a little late, but still before further firewire
    drivers are added as anticipated RSN.
