Add an FW_CDEV_IOC_RECEIVE_PHY_PACKETS ioctl() and
FW_CDEV_EVENT_PHY_PACKET_RECEIVED poll()/read() event for /dev/fw*.
This can be used to get information from remote PHYs by remote access
PHY packets.
This is also the 2nd half of the functionality (the receive part) to
support a userspace implementation of a VersaPHY transaction layer.
Safety considerations:
- PHY packets are generally broadcasts, hence some kind of elevated
privileges should be required of a process to be able to listen in
on PHY packets. This implementation assumes that a process that is
allowed to open the /dev/fw* of a local node does have this
privilege.
There was an inconclusive discussion about introducing POSIX
capabilities as a means to check for user privileges for these
kinds of operations.
Other limitations:
- PHY packet reception may be switched on by ioctl() but cannot be
switched off again. It would be trivial to provide an off switch,
but this is not worth the code. The client should simply close()
the fd then, or just ignore further events.
- For sake of simplicity of API and kernel-side implementation, no
filter per packet content is provided.

Add an FW_CDEV_IOC_SEND_PHY_PACKET ioctl() for /dev/fw* which can be
used to implement bus management related functionality in userspace.
This is also half of the functionality (the transmit part) that is
needed to support a userspace implementation of a VersaPHY transaction
layer.
Safety considerations:
- PHY packets are generally broadcasts and may have interesting
effects on PHYs and the bus, e.g. make asynchronous arbitration
impossible due to too low gap count. Hence some kind of elevated
privileges should be required of a process to be able to send
PHY packets. This implementation assumes that a process that is
allowed to open the /dev/fw* of a local node does have this
privilege.
There was an inconclusive discussion about introducing POSIX
capabilities as a means to check for user privileges for these
kinds of operations.
- The kernel does not check integrity of the supplied packet data.
That would be far too much code, considering the many kinds of
PHY packets. A process which got the privilege to send these
packets is trusted to do it correctly.
Just like with the other "send packet" ioctls, a non-blocking API is
chosen; i.e. the ioctl may return even before AT DMA started. After
transmission, an event for poll()/read() is enqueued. Most users are
going to need a blocking API, but a blocking userspace wrapper is easy
to implement, and the second of the two existing libraw1394 calls
raw1394_phy_packet_write() and raw1394_start_phy_packet_write() can be
better supported that way.

core-transaction.c transmit_complete_callback() and close_transaction()
expect packet callback status to be an ACK or RCODE, and ACKs get
translated to RCODEs for transaction callbacks.
An old comment on the packet callback API (been there from the initial
submission of the stack) and the dummy_driver implementation of
send_request/send_response deviated from this as they also included
-ERRNO in the range of status values.
Let's narrow status values down to ACK and RCODE to prevent surprises.
RCODE_CANCELLED is chosen as the dummy_driver's RCODE as its meaning of
"transaction timed out" comes closest to what happens when a transaction
coincides with card removal.

Bus resets which are triggered
- by the kernel drivers after updates of the local nodes' config ROM,
- by userspace software via ioctl
shall be deferred until after >=2 seconds after the last bus reset.
If multiple modifications of the local nodes' config ROM happen in a row,
only a single bus reset should happen after them.
When the local node's link goes from inactive to active or vice versa,
and at the two occasions of bus resets mentioned above --- and if the
current gap count differs from 63 --- the bus reset should be preceded
by a PHY configuration packet that reaffirms the gap count. Otherwise a
bus manager would have to reset the bus again right after that.
This is necessary to promote bus stability, e.g. leave grace periods for
allocations and reallocations of isochronous channels and bandwidth,
SBP-2 reconnections etc.; see IEEE 1394 clause 8.2.1.
This change implements all of the above by moving bus reset initiation
into a delayed work (except for bus resets which are triggered by the
bus manager workqueue job and are performed there immediately). It
comes with a necessary addition to the card driver methods that allows
to get the current gap count from PHY registers.

Add information regarding the 2.6.32 update to the xmit variant of
fw_cdev_event_iso_interrupt.
Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
The problem:
A target-like userspace driver, e.g. AV/C target or SBP-2/3 target,
needs to be able to act as responder and requester. In the latter role,
it needs to send requests to nods from which it received requests. This
is currently impossible because fw_cdev_event_request lacks information
about sender node ID.
Reported-by: Jay Fenlason <fenlason@redhat.com>
Libffado + libraw1394 + firewire-core is currently unable to drive two
or more audio devices on the same bus.
Reported-by: Arnold Krille <arnold@arnoldarts.de>
This is because libffado requires destination node ID of FCP requests
and sender node ID of FCP responses to match. It even prohibits
libffado from working with a bus on which libraw1394 opens a /dev/fw* as
default ioctl device that does not correspond with the audio device.
This is because libraw1394 does not receive the sender node ID from the
kernel.
Moreover, fw_cdev_event_request makes it impossible to tell unicast and
broadcast write requests apart.
The fix:
Add a replacement of struct fw_cdev_event_request request, boringly
called struct fw_cdev_event_request2. The new event will be sent to a
userspace client instead of the old one if the client claims
compatibility with <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI version 4 or later.
libraw1394 needs to be extended to make use of the new event, in order
to properly support libffado and other FCP or address range mapping
users who require correct sender node IDs.
Further notes:
While we are at it, change back the range of possible values of
fw_cdev_event_request.tcode to 0x0...0xb like in ABI version <= 3.
The preceding change "firewire: expose extended tcode of incoming lock
requests to (userspace) drivers" expanded it to 0x0...0x17 which could
catch sloppily coded clients by surprise. The extended range of codes
is only used in the new fw_cdev_event_request2.tcode.
Jay and I also suggested an alternative approach to fix the ABI for
incoming requests: Add an FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_REQUEST_INFO ioctl which can
be called after reception of an fw_cdev_event_request, before issuing of
the closing FW_CDEV_IOC_SEND_RESPONSE ioctl. The new ioctl would reveal
the vital information about a request that fw_cdev_event_request lacks.
Jay showed an implementation of this approach.
The former event approach adds 27 LOC of rather trivial code to
core-cdev.c, the ioctl approach 34 LOC, some of which is nontrivial.
The ioctl approach would certainly also add more LOC to userspace
programs which require the expanded information on inbound requests.
This approach is probably only on the lighter-weight side in case of
clients that want to be compatible with kernels that lack the new
capability, like libraw1394. However, the code to be added to such
libraw1394-like clients in case of the event approach is a straight-
forward additional switch () case in its event handler.

libraw1394 v2.0.0...v2.0.5 takes FW_CDEV_VERSION from an externally
installed header file and uses it to declare its own implementation
level in FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_INFO. This is wrong; it should set the real
version for which it was actually written.
If we add features to the kernel ABI that require the kernel to check
a client's implementation level, we can not trust the client version if
it was set from FW_CDEV_VERSION.
Hence freeze FW_CDEV_VERSION at the current value (no damage has been
done yet), clearly document FW_CDEV_VERSION as a dummy version and what
clients are expected to do with fw_cdev_get_info.version, and use a new
defined constant (which is not placed into the exported header file) as
kernel implementation level.
Note, in order to check in client program source code which features are
present in an externally installed linux/firewire-cdev.h, use
preprocessor directives like
#ifdef FW_CDEV_IOC_ALLOCATE_ISO_RESOURCE
or
#ifdef FW_CDEV_EVENT_ISO_RESOURCE_ALLOCATED
instead of a check of FW_CDEV_VERSION.

void (*fw_address_callback_t)(..., int speed, ...) is the speed that a
remote node chose to transmit a request to us. In case of split
transactions, firewire-core will transmit the response at that speed.
Upper layer drivers on the other hand (firewire-net, -sbp2, firedtv, and
userspace drivers) cannot do anything useful with that speed datum,
except log it for debug purposes. But data that is merely potentially
(not even actually) used for debug purposes does not belong into the API.

As noticed by Jon Masters <jonathan@jonmasters.org>, the conntrack hash
size is global and not per namespace, but modifiable at runtime through

resize the hash in the current namespace however, so other namespaces
will use an invalid hash size. This can cause crashes when enlarging
the hashsize, or false negative lookups when shrinking it.
Move the hash size into the per-namespace data and only use the global
hash size to initialize the per-namespace value when instanciating a
new namespace. Additionally restrict hash resizing to init_net for
now as other namespaces are not handled currently.

nf_conntrack_cachep is currently shared by all netns instances, but
because of SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU special semantics, this is wrong.
If we use a shared slab cache, one object can instantly flight between
one hash table (netns ONE) to another one (netns TWO), and concurrent
reader (doing a lookup in netns ONE, 'finding' an object of netns TWO)
can be fooled without notice, because no RCU grace period has to be
observed between object freeing and its reuse.
We dont have this problem with UDP/TCP slab caches because TCP/UDP
hashtables are global to the machine (and each object has a pointer to
its netns).
If we use per netns conntrack hash tables, we also *must* use per netns
conntrack slab caches, to guarantee an object can not escape from one

Getting it is not used, let's drop support for notifications about
