2009-10-14firewire: sbp2: provide fallback if mgt_ORB_timeout is missingStefan Richter
The Unit_Characteristics entry of an SBP-2 unit directory is not mandatory as far as I can tell. If it is missing, we would probably fail to log in into the target because firewire-sbp2 would not wait for status after it sent the login request. The fix moves the cleanup of tgt->mgt_orb_timeout into a place where it is executed exactly once before login, rather than 0..n times depending on the target's config ROM. With targets with one or more Unit_Characteristics entries, the result is the same as before. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

2009-09-12firewire: core: fix race with parallel PCI device probeStefan Richter
The config ROM buffer received from generate_config_rom is a globally shared static buffer. Extend the card_mutex protection in fw_add_card until after the config ROM was copied into the card driver's buffer. Otherwise, parallelized card driver probes may end up with ROM contents that were meant for a different card. firewire-ohci's card->driver->enable hook is safe to be called within the card_mutex. Furthermore, it is safe to reorder card_list update versus card enable, which simplifies the code a little. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

2009-09-12firewire: ohci: fix Self ID Count register mask (safeguard against buffer ↵Stefan Richter
overflow) The selfIDSize field of Self ID Count is 9 bits wide, and we are only interested in the high 8 bits. Fix the mask accordingly. The previously too large mask didn't do damage though because the next few bits in the register are reserved and therefore zero with presently existing hardware. Also, check for the maximum possible self ID count of 252 (according to OHCI 1.1 clause 11.2 and IEEE 1394a-2000 clause 4.3.4.1, i.e. up to four self IDs of up to 63 nodes, even though IEEE 1394 up to edition 2008 defines only up to three self IDs per node). More than 252 self IDs would only happen if the self ID receive DMA unit malfunctioned, which would likely be caught by other self ID buffer checks. However, check it early to be sure. More than 253 quadlets would overflow the Topology Map CSR. Reported-By: PaX Team Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

2009-09-05firewire: ohci: fix Agere FW643 and multiple camerasStefan Richter
An Agere FW643 OHCI 1.1 card works fine for video reception from one camera but fails early if receiving from two cameras. After a short while, no IR IRQ events occur and the context control register does not react anymore. This happens regardless whether both IR DMA contexts are dual-buffer or one is dual-buffer and the other packet-per-buffer. This can be worked around by disabling dual buffer DMA mode entirely. http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=4A7C0594.2020208%40gmail.com (Reported by Samuel Audet.) In another report (by Jonathan Cameron), an FW643 works OK with two cameras in dual buffer mode. Whether this is due to different chip revisions or different usage patterns (different video formats) is not yet clear. However, as far as the current capabilities of firewire-core's isochronous I/O interface are concerned, simply switching off dual-buffer on non-working and working FW643s alike is not a problem in practice. We only need to revisit this issue if we are going to enhance the interface, e.g. so that applications can explicitly choose modes.

As David Moore noted, a previously correct sizeof() expression became wrong since the commit changed its argument from an array to a pointer. This resulted in an oops in ohci_cancel_packet in the shared workqueue thread's context when an isochronous resource was to be freed.

2009-06-25firewire: core: do not DMA-map stack addressesStefan Richter
The DMA mapping API cannot map on-stack addresses, as explained in Documentation/DMA-mapping.txt. Convert the two cases of on-stack packet payload buffers in firewire-core (payload of lock requests in the bus manager work and in iso resource management) to slab-allocated memory. There are a number on-stack buffers for quadlet write or quadlet read requests in firewire-core and firewire-sbp2. These are harmless; they are copied to/ from card driver internal DMA buffers since quadlet payloads are inlined with packet headers. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

2009-06-21firewire: new stack is no longer experimentalStefan Richter
The new stack is now recommended over the old one if used for industrial video (IIDC/DCAM) or for storage devices (SBP-2) due to better performance, improved compatibility, added features, and security. It should also be functionally on par with and is more secure than the old ieee1394 stack in the use case of consumer video devices. IP-over-1394 support for the new stack is currently emerging, and a backend of the firedtv DVB driver to the new stack should be available soon. The one remaining area where the old stack is still required are audio devices, as the new stack is not yet able to support the FFADO FireWire audio framework.

2009-06-16firewire: net: better FIFO address range check and rcodesStefan Richter
The AR req handler should not check the generation; higher level code is the better place to handle bus generation changes.

2009-06-16firewire: core: fix iso context shutdown on card removalStefan Richter
If isochronous contexts existed when firewire-ohci was unloaded, the core iso shutdown functions crashed with NULL dereferences, and buffers etc. weren't released. How the fix works: We first copy the card driver's iso shutdown hooks into the dummy driver, then fw_destroy_nodes notifies upper layers of devices going away, these should shut down (including their iso contexts), wait_for_completion(&card->done) will be triggered after upper layers gave up all fw_device references, after which the card driver's shutdown proceeds.

The .ndo_tx_timeout callback is currently without function; delete it. Give .watchdog_timeo a proper time value; lower it to 2 seconds.

2009-06-14firewire: net: allow for unordered unit discoveryStefan Richter
Decouple the creation and destruction of the net_device from the order of discovery and removal of nodes with RFC 2734 unit directories since there is no reliable order. The net_device is now created when the first RFC 2734 unit on a card is discovered, and destroyed when the last RFC 2734 unit on a card went away. This includes all remote units as well as the local unit, which is therefore tracked as a peer now too. Also, locking around the list of peers is slightly extended to guard against peer removal. As a side effect, fwnet_peer.pdg_lock has become superfluous and is deleted. Peer data (max_rec, speed, node ID, generation) are updated more carefully.

2009-06-14firewire: core: don't update Broadcast_Channel if RFC 2734 conditions aren't metStefan Richter
This extra check will avoid Broadcast_Channel register related traffic to many IIDC, SBP-2, and AV/C devices which aren't IRMC or have a max_rec < 8 (i.e. support < 512 bytes async payload). This avoids a little bit of traffic after bus reset and is even more careful with devices which don't implement this CSR.

2009-06-05firewire: rename source filesStefan Richter

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

2009-06-05firewire: reorganize header filesStefan Richter
The three header files of firewire-core, i.e. "drivers/firewire/fw-device.h", "drivers/firewire/fw-topology.h", "drivers/firewire/fw-transaction.h", are replaced by "drivers/firewire/core.h", "include/linux/firewire.h". The latter includes everything which a firewire high-level driver (like firewire-sbp2) needs besides linux/firewire-constants.h, while core.h contains the rest which is needed by firewire-core itself and by low- level drivers (card drivers) like firewire-ohci. High-level drivers can now also reside outside of drivers/firewire without having to add drivers/firewire to the header file search path in makefiles. At least the firedtv driver will be such a driver. I also considered to spread the contents of core.h over several files, one for each .c file where the respective implementation resides. But it turned out that most core .c files will end up including most of the core .h files. Also, the combined core.h isn't unreasonably big, and it will lose more of its contents to linux/firewire.h anyway soon when more firewire drivers are added. (IP-over-1394, firedtv, and there are plans for one or two more.) Furthermore, fw-ohci.h is renamed to ohci.h. The name of core.h and ohci.h is chosen with regard to name changes of the .c files in a follow-up change. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

In the unlikely event that card->driver->get_bus_time() is called during a cycle64Seconds interrupt, we could read garbage unless atomic accesses are used.

2009-06-05firewire: also use vendor ID in root directory for driver matchesStefan Richter

2009-06-01firewire: core: add sysfs attribute for easier udev rulesStefan Richter
This adds the attribute /sys/bus/firewire/devices/fw[0-9]+/units. It can be used in udev rules like the following ones: # IIDC devices: industrial cameras and some webcams SUBSYSTEM=="firewire", ATTR{units}=="*0x00a02d:0x00010?*", GROUP="video" # AV/C devices: camcorders, set-top boxes, TV sets, audio devices, ... SUBSYSTEM=="firewire", ATTR{units}=="*0x00a02d:0x010001*", GROUP="video" Background: firewire-core manages two device types: - fw_device is a FireWire node. A character device file is associated with it. - fw_unit is a unit directory on a node. Each fw_device may have 0..n children of type fw_unit. The units tell us what kinds of protocols a node implements. We want to set ownership or ACLs or permissions of the character device file of an fw_device, or/and create symlinks to it, based on available protocols. Until now udev rules had to look at the fw_unit devices and then modify their parent's character device file accordingly. This is problematic for two reasons: 1) It happens sometime after the creation of the fw_device, 2) an access policy may require that information from all children is evaluated before a decision about the parent is made. Problem 1) can ultimately not be avoided since this is the nature of FireWire nodes: They may add or remove unit directories at any point in time. However, we can still help userland a lot by providing the protocol type information of all units in a summary sysfs attribute directly at the fw_device. This way, - the information is immediately available at the affected device when userspace goes about to handle an ADD or CHANGE event of the fw_device, - with most policies, it won't be necessary anymore to dig through child attributes. The new attribute is called "units". It contains space-separated tuples of specifier_id and version of each present unit. The delimiter within tuples is a colon. Specifier_id and version are printed as 0x%06x. Here is an example of a node which implements an IPv4 unit and an IPv6 unit: $ cat /sys/bus/firewire/devices/fw2/units 0x00005e:0x000001 0x00005e:0x000002 Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
2009-06-01firewire: core: check for missing struct update at build time, not run timeStefan Richter
struct fw_attribute_group.attrs.[] must have enough room for all attributes. This can and should be checked at build time. Our previous check at run time was a little late and not reliable since most of the time less than the available attributes are populated. Furthermore, omit an increment of an index at its last usage. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
