2006-06-12ieee1394: add preprocessor constant for invalid csr addressBen Collins
Replace occurrences of the magic value ~(u64)0 for invalid CSR address spaces by a named constant for better readability. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de> Signed-off-by: Ben Collins <bcollins@ubuntu.com>
2006-06-12sbp2: fix deregistration of status fifo address spaceBen Collins
The proper designator of an invalid CSR address is ~(u64)0, not (u64)0. Use the correct value in initialization and deregistration. Also, scsi_id->sbp2_lun does not need to be initialized twice.

2006-06-12Fix broken suspend/resume in ohci1394Ben Collins
I've been experimenting to track down the cause of suspend/resume problems on my Compaq Presario X1050 laptop: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6075 Essentially the ACPI Embedded Controller and keyboard controller would get into a bizarre, confused state after resume. I found that unloading the ohci1394 module before suspend and reloading it after resume made the problem go away. Diffing the dmesg output from resume, with and without the module loaded, I found that with the module loaded I was missing these: PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:02:00.0 at offset 1. (Was 2100080, writing 2100007) PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:02:00.0 at offset 3. (Was 0, writing 8008) PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:02:00.0 at offset 4. (Was 0, writing 90200000) PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:02:00.0 at offset 5. (Was 1, writing 2401) PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:02:00.0 at offset f. (Was 20000100, writing 2000010a) The default PCI driver performs the pci_restore_state when no driver is loaded for the device. When the ohci1394 driver is loaded, it is supposed to do this, however it appears not to do so. I created the patch below and tested it, and it appears to resolve the suspend problems I was having with the module loaded. I only added in the pci_save_state and pci_restore_state - however, though I know little of this hardware, surely the driver should really be doing more than this when suspending and resuming? Currently it does almost nothing, what if there are commands in progress, etc?

2006-06-12ohci1394: set address range propertiesBen Collins
This patch supplies the API extension introduced by patch "ieee1394: extend lowlevel API for address range properties" with proper addresses. Like in patch ''ohci1394, sbp2: fix "scsi_add_device failed" with PL-3507 based devices'', 1 TeraByte is chosen as physical upper bound. This leaves a window for the middle address range. This choice is only relevant for adapters which actually have a programmable pysical upper bound register. (Only ALi and Fujitsu adapters are known for this. Most adapters have a fixed bound at 4 GB.) The middle address range is suitable for posted writes. AFAIK, PCILynx does not support physical DMA nor posted writes, therefore no equivalent change in the pcilynx driver is necessary. There is also a driver for GP2Lynx, although not in mainline Linux. I assume this hardware does not support these OHCI features either. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de> Signed-off-by: Ben Collins <bcollins@ubuntu.com>
2006-06-12ieee1394: extend lowlevel API for address range propertiesBen Collins
Host adapter hardware imposes certain restrictions and features on address ranges. Instead of hard-wire such ranges into the ieee1394 core or even into protocol drivers, let lowlevel drivers specify these ranges via struct hpsb_host. Patch "ohci1394: set address range properties" must be applied too, else hpsb_allocate_and_register_addrspace() won't work properly.

2006-06-12ieee1394: save RAM by using a single tlabel for broadcast transactionsBen Collins
Since broadcast transactions are already complete when the request has been sent, the same transaction label can be reused all over again, see IEEE 1394 7.3.2.5 and 6.2.4.3. Therefore we can reduce the footprint of struct hpsb_host by the size of one struct hpsb_tlabel_pool.

2006-06-12ieee1394: support for slow links or slow 1394b phy portsBen Collins
Add support for the following types of hardware: + nodes that have a link speed < PHY speed + 1394b PHYs that are less than S800 capable + 1394b/1394a adapter cable between two 1394b PHYs Also, S1600 and S3200 are now supported if IEEE1394_SPEED_MAX is raised. A probing function is added to nodemgr's config ROM fetching routine which adjusts the allowable speed if an access problem was encountered. Pros and Cons of the approach: + minimum code footprint to support this less widely used hardware + nearly no overhead for unaffected hardware - ineffective before nodemgr began to read the ROM of affected nodes - ineffective if ieee1394 is loaded with disable_nodemgr=1 The speed map CSRs which are published to the bus are not touched by the patch.

2006-06-12ieee1394/ohci1394: CycleTooLong interrupt managementBen Collins
This patch modifies the ohci1394.c file to enable and manage the "cycle too long" interrupt. If this interrupt occurs, the "LinkControl.CycleMaster" bit of the host controller is reseted. This implies, that the host controller does not send "cycle start" packet anymore freezing then the isochronous communication. The management of the interrupt added by the patch is that when the interrupt occurs, the OHCI irq handler prints a kernel log warning and then sets the "LinkControl.CycleMaster" bit again resuming the isochronous communication.

2006-06-11[PATCH] Fix for the PPTP hangs that have been reportedPaul Mackerras
People have been reporting that PPP connections over ptys, such as used with PPTP, will hang randomly when transferring large amounts of data, for instance in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6530. I have managed to reproduce the problem, and the patch below fixes the actual cause. The problem is not in fact in ppp_async.c but in n_tty.c. What happens is that when pptp reads from the pty, we call read_chan() in drivers/char/n_tty.c on the master side of the pty. That copies all the characters out of its buffer to userspace and then calls check_unthrottle(), which calls the pty unthrottle routine, which calls tty_wakeup on the slave side, which calls ppp_asynctty_wakeup, which calls tasklet_schedule. So far so good. Since we are in process context, the tasklet runs immediately and calls ppp_async_process(), which calls ppp_async_push, which calls the tty->driver->write function to send some more output. However, tty->driver->write() returns zero, because the master tty->receive_room is still zero. We haven't returned from check_unthrottle() yet, and read_chan() only updates tty->receive_room _after_ calling check_unthrottle. That means that the driver->write call in ppp_async_process() returns 0. That would be fine if we were going to get a subsequent wakeup call, but we aren't (we just had it, and the buffer is now empty). The solution is for n_tty.c to update tty->receive_room _before_ calling the driver unthrottle routine. The patch below does this. With this patch I was able to transfer a 900MB file over a PPTP connection (taking about 25 minutes), whereas without the patch the connection would always stall in under a minute.

2006-06-10[PATCH] Further alterations for memory barrier documentDavid Howells
From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Apply some alterations to the memory barrier document that I worked out with Paul McKenney of IBM, plus some of the alterations suggested by Alan Stern. The following changes were made: (*) One of the examples given for what can happen with overlapping memory barriers was wrong. (*) The description of general memory barriers said that a general barrier is a combination of a read barrier and a write barrier. This isn't entirely true: it implies both, but is more than a combination of both. (*) The first example in the "SMP Barrier Pairing" section was wrong: the loads around the read barrier need to touch the memory locations in the opposite order to the stores around the write barrier. (*) Added a note to make explicit that the loads should be in reverse order to the stores. (*) Adjusted the diagrams in the "Examples Of Memory Barrier Sequences" section to make them clearer. Added a couple of diagrams to make it more clear as to how it could go wrong without the barrier. (*) Added a section on memory speculation. (*) Dropped any references to memory allocation routines doing memory barriers. They may do sometimes, but it can't be relied on. This may be worthy of further documentation later. (*) Made the fact that a LOCK followed by an UNLOCK should not be considered a full memory barrier more explicit and gave an example.
