Clemens Ladisch bda3b8a1fa firewire: core: retry on local errors in bus manager election
When the candidate bus manager fails to do the lock request with which
it tries to become bus manager, it assumes that the current IRM is not
actually IRM capable and forces itself to become root.  However, if that
lock request failed because the local node itself was not able to send
it, then we cannot blame the current IRM and should not steal its
rootness.

In this case, RCODE_SEND_ERROR is likely to indicate a temporary error
condition such as exhausted tlabels or low memory, so we better try
again later.

Clemens Ladisch 153e397920 firewire: ohci: speed up PHY register accesses
Most PHY chips, when idle, can complete a register access in the time
needed for two or three PCI read transactions; bigger delays occur only
when data is currently being moved over the link/PHY interface.  So if
we busy-wait a few times when waiting for the register access to finish,
it is likely that we can finish without having to sleep.

This patch adds support for message-signaled interrupts.

Any native PCI-Express OHCI controller should support MSI, but most are
just PCI cores behind a PCI-E/PCI bridge.  The only chips that are known
to claim to support MSI are the Lucent/Agere/LSI FW643 and the VIA

Due to the high level of trust I have in the competence of these and any

Stefan Richter 3014420b6b ieee1394: schedule for removal
All application domains that are supported by the old ieee1394 driver
stack are supported by the newer firewire driver stack too.  There is
now good and extensive experience with the newer stack from deployment
in Fedora since F7 as well as by enthusiast users of other
distributions.

The new drivers have consequently been recommended as the default ones
since 2.6.33, in order to fix some severe usability problems of FireWire
on Linux due to limitations of the old stack.  It is now high time to
announce when the obsolete drivers will be removed.

the following 63 requests, its bit in tlabel_mask is still set when the

  - BIB_IMC is not named like the field is called in the standard,
  - readers of the code may get worried about the magic 0x0c0083c0,

So let's rename BIB_IMC, add a defined constant for Node_Capabilities
and a comment which reassures people that somebody thought about it and
they don't have to (or if they still do, tell them where they have to
look for confirmation), and prune our incomplete and arbitrary set of

that of Bus_Information_Block.Bus_Name, to be defined and commented.

Although all this is legacy code which should be left in peace until it
is eventually removed (as it is superseded by firewire-core's

further minimize the presence of BKL usage in the kernel.

Stefan Richter 35d999b120 firewire: ohci: wait for PHY register accesses to complete
Rather than having the arbitrary msleep(2) pause, let read_phy_reg()
loop until the link--phy access was finished.

Factor write_phy_reg() out of ohci_update_phy_reg() and of
read_paged_phy_reg() and let it loop too until the link--phy access was
finished.

Like in the older ohci1394 driver, a timeout of 100 milliseconds is
chosen.  Unlike the old driver, we sleep instead of busy-wait in each
waiting loop iteration.  Instead of a loop, the waiting could probably
also be implemented interrupt driven, but why bother.  It would require
up and running interrupt handling before the link was fully configured
and enabled.

Also modify functions a bit:  Error return and value return can be
combined in read_phy_reg() since the domain of values is only u8.
Likewise in read_paged_phy_reg().

Stefan Richter 9cac00b8f0 firewire: cdev: fix information leak
A userspace client got to see uninitialized stack-allocated memory if it
specified an _IOC_READ type of ioctl and an argument size larger than
expected by firewire-core's ioctl handlers (but not larger than the
core's union ioctl_arg).

Fix this by clearing the requested buffer size to zero, but only at _IOR
ioctls.  This way, there is almost no runtime penalty to legitimate
ioctls.  The only legitimate _IOR is FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_CYCLE_TIMER with 12
or 16 bytes to memset.

[Another way to fix this would be strict checking of argument size (and
possibly direction) vs. command number.  However, we then need a lookup
table, and we need to allow for slight size deviations in case of 32bit
userland on 64bit kernel.]

Stefan Richter fe43d6d9cf firewire: core: align driver match with modalias
The driver match strategy was:
  - Match vendor/model/specifier/version of the unit directory.
  - If that was a miss, match vendor from the root directory and
    model/specifier/version of the unit directory.

This was inconsistent with how the modalias string was constructed
until recently (take vendor/model from root directory and specifier/
version from unit directory).  It was also inconsistent with how it is
done since the parent commit:
  - Use vendor/model/specifier/version of the unit directory if possible,
  - fall back to one or more of vendor/model/specifier/version from the
    root directory depending on which ones are not present at the unit
    directory.

Stefan Richter 5ae73518cb firewire: core: fix Model_ID in modalias
The modalias string of devices that represent units on a FireWire node
did not show Module_ID entries within unit directories.  This was
because firewire-core searched only the root directory of the
configuration ROM for a Model_ID entry.

We now search first the root directory, then the unit directory.  IOW
honor a unit directory's Model_ID if present, otherwise fall back to the
root directory's model ID (if present).

Furthermore, apply the same change to Vendor_ID.  This had the same
issue but it was less apparent because most devices provide Vendor_ID
only in the root directory.

And finally, also use this strategy for the remaining two IDs in the
modalias, Specifier_ID and Version.  It does not actually make sense to
look for them elsewhere than in the unit directory because they are
mandatory there.  However, a uniform search order simplifies the
implementation and has no adverse affect in practice.

Side notes:
  - The older counterpart of this, nodemgr.c of ieee1394, looked for
    Vendor_ID first in the root directory, then in the unit directory,
    and for Model_ID only in the unit directory.
  - There is a single mainline driver which requires Vendor_ID and
    Model_ID --- the firedtv driver.  This one worked because FireDTVs
    provide Vendor_ID in the root directory and Model_ID identically in
    root directory and unit directory.
  - Apart from firedtv, there are currently no drivers known to me
    (including userspace drivers) that look at the Vendor_ID or Model_ID
    of the modalias.

More importantly, make the huge self_id_buffer member the last one; this
is only accessed in self-ID-complete interrupts.

Stefan Richter 6498ba04ae firewire: ohci: remove unused dualbuffer IR code
This code was no longer used since 2.6.33, "firewire: ohci: always use
packet-per-buffer mode for isochronous reception" commit 090699c0.  If
anybody needs this code in the future for special purposes, it can be
brought back in.  But it must not be re-enabled by default; drivers
(kernelspace or userspace drivers) should only get this mode if they
explicitly request it.

Stefan Richter 6e95dea728 firewire: core: change type of a data buffer
from array of char to union of structs.  I already used a union to size
the buffer which holds ioctl arguments; more consequent is to define it
as an instance of this union in the first place.

Also rename several local variables from "request" to "a"(rgument) since
the term request can be mistaken to mean a transaction subaction, e.g.
an instance of struct fw_request.

Stefan Richter e94b6d7736 firewire: cdev: increment ABI version number
so that clients can detect whether the FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_CYCLE_TIMER ioctl
is reliable (on all tested controllers, especially the widely used VIA
controllers, also NEC controllers, see commits b677532b and 1c1517ef).

Also add a comment on the 2.6.32 iso xmit enhancement and on dual-buffer
IR having been disabled in 2.6.33.

Stefan Richter abfe5a01ef firewire: cdev: add more flexible cycle timer ioctl
The system time from CLOCK_REALTIME is not monotonic, hence problematic
for the main user of the FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_CYCLE_TIMER ioctl.  This issue
exists in its successor ABI, i.e. raw1394, too.
http://subversion.ffado.org/ticket/242

We now offer an alternative ioctl which lets the caller choose between
CLOCK_REALTIME, CLOCK_MONOTONIC, and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW as source of
the local time, very similar to the clock_gettime libc function.  The
format of the local time return value matches that of clock_gettime
(seconds and nanoseconds, instead of a single microseconds value from
the existing ioctl).
