If a device's firmware initiates a bus reset by setting the IBR bit in
PHY register 1 without resetting the gap count field to 63 (and without
having sent a PHY configuration packet beforehand), the gap count of
this node will remain at the old value after the bus reset and thus be
inconsistent with the gap count on all other nodes.
The bus manager is supposed to detect the inconsistent gap count values
in the self ID packets and correct them by issuing another bus reset.
However, if the buggy device happens to be the cycle master, and if it
sends a cycle start packet immediately after the bus reset (which is
likely after a long bus reset), then the time between the end of the
selfID phase and the start of the cycle start packet will be based on
the too-small gap count value, so this gap will be too short to be
detected as a subaction gap by the other nodes. This means that the
cycle start packet will be assumed to be self ID data, and will be
stored after the actual self ID quadlets in the self ID buffer.
This garbage in the self ID buffer made firewire-core ignore all of the
self ID data, and thus prevented the Linux bus manager from correcting
the problem. Furthermore, because the bus reset handling was aborted
completely, asynchronous transfers would be no longer handled correctly,
and fw_run_transaction() would hang until the next bus reset.
To fix this, make the detection of inconsistent self IDs more
discriminating: If the invalid data in the self ID buffer looks like
a cycle start packet, we can assume that the previous data in the buffer
is correctly received self ID information, and process it normally.
(We inspect only the first quadlet of the cycle start packet, because
this value is different enough from any valid self ID quadlet, and many
controllers do not store the cycle start packet in five quadlets because
they expect self ID data to have an even number of quadlets.)
This bug has been observed when a bus-powered DesktopKonnekt6 is
switched off with its power button.

Since commit 0278ccd9d5 "firewire: sbp2:

instance does no longer extent past the return of sbp2_remove().
Therefore it is no longer necessary to call fw_unit_get/put() and
fw_device_get/put() in sbp2_probe/remove().
Furthermore, said commit also ensures that lu->work is not going to be
executed or requeued at a time when the sbp2_target is no longer in use.
Hence there is no need for sbp2_target reference counting for lu->work.
Other concurrent contexts:
- Processes which access the sysfs of the SCSI host device or of one
of its subdevices are safe because these interfaces are all removed
by scsi_remove_device/host() in sbp2_release_target().
- SBP-2 command block ORB transactions are finished when

* 'fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ieee1394/linux1394-2.6:
firewire: ohci: fix DMA unmapping in an error path
firewire: cdev: fix 32 bit userland on 64 bit kernel compat corner cases
Some older Panasonic made camcorders (Panasonic AG-EZ30 and NV-DX110,
Grundig Scenos DLC 2000) reject requests with ack_busy_X if a request is
sent immediately after they sent a response to a prior transaction.
This causes firewire-core to fail probing of the camcorder with "giving
up on config rom for node id ...". Consequently, programs like kino or
dvgrab are unaware of the presence of a camcorder.
Such transaction failures happen also with the ieee1394 driver stack
(of the 2.4...2.6 kernel series until 2.6.36 inclusive) but with a lower
likelihood, such that kino or dvgrab are generally able to use these
camcorders via the older driver stack. The cause for firewire-ohci's or
firewire-core's worse behavior is not yet known. Gap count optimization
in firewire-core is not the cause. Perhaps the slightly higher latency
of transaction completion in the older stack plays a role. (ieee1394:
AR-resp DMA context tasklet -> packet completion ktread -> user process;
firewire-core: tasklet -> user process.)
This change introduces retries and delays after ack_busy_X into
firewire-core's Config ROM reader, such that at least firewire-core's
probing and /dev/fw* creation are successful. This still leaves the
problem that userland processes are facing transaction failures.
gscanbus's built-in retry routines deal with them successfully, but
neither kino's nor dvgrab's do ever succeed.
But at least DV capture with "dvgrab -noavc -card 0" works now. Live
video preview in kino works too, but not actual capture.
One way to prevent Configuration ROM reading failures in application
programs is to modify libraw1394 to synthesize read responses by means
of firewire-core's Configuration ROM cache. This would only leave
CMP and FCP transaction failures as a potential problem source for
applications.

Clemens points out that we need to use compat_ptr() in order to safely
cast from u64 to addresses of a 32-bit usermode client.
Before, our conversion went wrong
- in practice if the client cast from pointer to integer such that
sign-extension happened, (libraw1394 and libdc1394 at least were not
doing that, IOW were not affected)
or
- in theory on s390 (which doesn't have FireWire though) and on the
tile architecture, regardless of what the client does.
The bug would usually be observed as the initial get_info ioctl failing
with "Bad address" (EFAULT).

Between open(2) of a /dev/fw* and the first FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_INFO
ioctl(2) on it, the kernel already queues FW_CDEV_EVENT_BUS_RESET events
to be read(2) by the client. The get_info ioctl is practically always
issued right away after open, hence this condition only occurs if the
client opens during a bus reset, especially during a rapid series of bus
resets.
The problem with this condition is twofold:
- These bus reset events carry the (as yet undocumented) @closure
value of 0. But it is not the kernel's place to choose closures;
they are privat to the client. E.g., this 0 value forced from the
kernel makes it unsafe for clients to dereference it as a pointer to
a closure object without NULL pointer check.
- It is impossible for clients to determine the relative order of bus
reset events from get_info ioctl(2) versus those from read(2),
except in one way: By comparison of closure values. Again, such a
procedure imposes complexity on clients and reduces freedom in use
of the bus reset closure.
So, change the ABI to suppress queuing of bus reset events before the
first FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_INFO ioctl was issued by the client.
Note, this ABI change cannot be version-controlled. The kernel cannot
distinguish old from new clients before the first FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_INFO
ioctl.
We will try to back-merge this change into currently maintained stable/
longterm series, and we only document the new behaviour. The old
behavior is now considered a kernel bug, which it basically is.

So let's correct this in the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI while it is
still young, relative to distributor adoption.
Side note: We return -ENOTTY not only on _IOC_TYPE or _IOC_NR mismatch,
but also on _IOC_SIZE mismatch. An ioctl with an unsupported size of

Stopping an isochronous reception DMA context takes two loop iterations
in context_stop on several controllers (JMicron, NEC, VIA). But there
is no extra delay necessary between these two reg_read trials; the MMIO
reads themselves are slow enough. Hence bring back the behavior from
before commit dd6254e5c0 "firewire: ohci:
remove superfluous posted write flushes" on these controllers by means
of an "if (i)" condition.
Isochronous context stop is performed in preemptible contexts (and only
rarely), hence this change is of little impact. (Besides, Agere and TI
controllers always, or almost always, have the context stopped already
at the first ContextControl read.)
More important is asynchronous transmit context stop, which is performed
while local interrupts are disabled (on the two AT DMAs in
bus_reset_tasklet, i.e. after a self-ID-complete event). In my
experience with several controllers, tested with a usermode AT-request
transmitter as well as with FTP transmission over firewire-net, the AT
contexts were luckily already stopped at the first ContextControl read,
i.e. never required another MMIO read let alone mdelay. A possible
explanation for this is that the controllers which I tested perhaps stop
AT DMA before they perform the self-ID reception DMA.
But we cannot be sure about that and should keep the interrupts-disabled
busy loop as short as possible. Hence, query the ContextControl
register in 1000 udelay(10) intervals instead of 10 udelay(1000)
intervals. I understand from an estimation by Clemens Ladisch that
stopping a busy DMA context should take microseconds or at worst tens of
microseconds, not milliseconds.

The call to flush_writes() in context_stop() is superfluous because
another register read is done immediately afterwards.
The call to flush_writes() in ar_context_run() does not need to be done
individually for each AR context, so move it to ohci_enable(). This
also makes ohci_enable() clearer because it no longer depends on a side
effect of ar_context_run() to flush its own register writes.
Finally, the setting of a context's wake bit does not need to be flushed
because neither the driver logic nor the API require the CPU to wait for
this action. This removes the last MMIO reads from the packet queueing
code paths.

- userspace drivers which use the bus reset ioctl
- itself if the last reset happened less than 2 seconds ago
fw_card.bm_work:

- firewire-core's fw_device.work instances whenever the root node
device was (successfully or unsuccessfully) discovered,

obey the 125ms bus manager arbitration interval
fw_device.work:
- performs node probe, update, shutdown, revival, removal; including
kernel driver probe, update, shutdown and bus reset notification to
userspace drivers
- usually sleeps moderately long, in corner cases very long
- is scheduled by
- firewire-ohci's self-ID-complete IRQ handler tasklet via the
core's fw_node_event
- firewire-ohci's pci_remove method via core's fw_destroy_nodes/
fw_node_event
- itself during retries, e.g. while a node is powering up
iso_resource.work:
- accesses registers at the Isochronous Resource Manager node
- usually does not (but may in corner cases) sleep for long
- is scheduled via schedule_iso_resource() by
- the owning userspace driver at addition and removal of the
resource
- firewire-core's fw_device.work instances after bus reset
- itself in case of resource allocation if necessary to obey the
1000ms reallocation period after bus reset
fw_card.br_work instances should not, and instances of the others must

When queueing iso packets, the run time is dominated by the two
MMIO accesses that set the DMA context's wake bit. Because most
drivers submit packets in batches, we can save much time by
removing all but the last wakeup.
The internal kernel API is changed to require a call to
fw_iso_context_queue_flush() after a batch of queued packets.
The user space API does not change, so one call to
FW_CDEV_IOC_QUEUE_ISO must specify multiple packets to take
advantage of this optimization.
In my measurements, this patch reduces the time needed to queue
fifty skip packets from userspace to one sixth on a 2.5 GHz CPU,

will return -EBUSY if a previous pending update has not been
completed yet; the requested update just gets dropped on the floor.
This patch recognizes that the "in-flight" update can be modified
until it has been processed by the bus-reset, and the locking
in the bus_reset_tasklet ensures that the update is done atomically
with respect to modifications made by ohci_set_config_rom(). The
-EBUSY error case is simply removed.
[Stefan R: The bug always existed at least theoretically. But it
became easy to trigger since 2.6.36 commit 02d37bed18 "firewire: core:
integrate software-forced bus resets with bus management" which
introduced long mandatory delays between janitorial bus resets.]

When z==2, the condition "key == 2" is superfluous because it cannot
occur without "b == 3", as a descriptor with b!=3 and key==2 would be
an OUTPUT_MORE_IMMEDIATE descriptor which cannot be used alone.
Also remove magic numbers and needless computations on the b field.

For AT packet payloads of up to eight bytes, we have enough unused space
in the DMA descriptors list so that we can put a copy of the payload
there and thus avoid having to create a separate streaming DMA mapping
for the payload buffer.
In a CPU-bound microbenchmark that just sends 8-byte packets, bandwidth
was measured to increase by 5.7 %, from 1009 KB/s to 1067 KB/s. In
practice, the only performance-sensitive usage of small asynchronous
packets is the SBP-2 driver's write to the ORB_POINTER register during
SCSI command submission.

OHCI 1.1 5.7.3 not only forbids enabling or starting any DMA contexts
before the linkEnable bit is set, but also explicitly warns of undefined
behaviour if this order is violated.
Don't violate it then.

Like the older ieee1394 core driver, firewire-core skipped scanning of
any new node whose PHY sent a self ID without "link active" bit. If a
device had this bit off mistakenly, it meant that it was inaccessible to
kernel drivers with the old IEEE 1394 driver stack but could still be
accessed by userspace drivers through the raw1394 interface.
But with firewire-core, userspace drivers don't get to see such buggy
devices anymore. This is effectively a driver regression since this
device bug is otherwise harmless.
We now attempt to scan all devices, even repeaters that don't have a
link or powered-down devices that have everything but their PHY shut
down when plugged in. This results in futile repeated scanning attempts
in case of such devices that really don't have an active link, but this
doesn't hurt since recent workqueue infrastructure lets us run more
concurrent scanning jobs than we can shake a stick at.
This should fix accessibility of Focusrite Saffire PRO 26 I/O:
