firewire: use clamp and min3 macros

2011-10-09T15:00:18+00:00

Use kernel.h's convenience macros.  Also omit a printk that should never
happen and won't matter much if it ever happened.

firewire: sbp2: parallelize login, reconnect, logout

2011-05-10T20:53:46+00:00

The struct sbp2_logical_unit.work items can all be executed in parallel
but are not reentrant.  Furthermore, reconnect or re-login work must be
executed in a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue.

Hence replace the old single-threaded firewire-sbp2 workqueue by a
concurrency-managed but non-reentrant workqueue with rescuer.
firewire-core already maintains one, hence use this one.

In earlier versions of this change, I observed occasional failures of
parallel INQUIRY to an Initio INIC-2430 FireWire 800 to dual IDE bridge.
More testing indicates that parallel INQUIRY is not actually a problem,
but too quick successions of logout and login + INQUIRY, e.g. a quick
sequence of cable plugout and plugin, can result in failed INQUIRY.
This does not seem to be something that should or could be addressed by
serialization.

Another dual-LU device to which I currently have access to, an
OXUF924DSB FireWire 800 to dual SATA bridge with firmware from MacPower,
has been successfully tested with this too.

This change is beneficial to environments with two or more FireWire
storage devices, especially if they are located on the same bus.
Management tasks that should be performed as soon and as quickly as
possible, especially reconnect, are no longer held up by tasks on other
devices that may take a long time, especially login with INQUIRY and sd
or sr driver probe.

firewire: core: use non-reentrant workqueue with rescuer

2011-05-10T20:53:45+00:00

firewire-core manages the following types of work items:

fw_card.br_work:
  - resets the bus on a card and possibly sends a PHY packet before that
  - does not sleep for long or not at all
  - is scheduled via fw_schedule_bus_reset() by
      - firewire-ohci's pci_probe method
      - firewire-ohci's set_config_rom method, called by kernelspace
        protocol drivers and userspace drivers which add/remove
	Configuration ROM descriptors
      - userspace drivers which use the bus reset ioctl
      - itself if the last reset happened less than 2 seconds ago

fw_card.bm_work:
  - performs bus management duties
  - usually does not (but may in corner cases) sleep for long
  - is scheduled via fw_schedule_bm_work() by
      - firewire-ohci's self-ID-complete IRQ handler tasklet
      - firewire-core's fw_device.work instances whenever the root node
        device was (successfully or unsuccessfully) discovered,
	refreshed, or rediscovered
      - itself in case of resource allocation failures or in order to
        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
not, be executed in parallel by multiple CPUs -- but were not protected
against that.  Hence allocate a non-reentrant workqueue for them.

fw_device.work may be used in the memory reclaim path in case of SBP-2
device updates.  Hence we need a workqueue with rescuer and cannot use
system_nrt_wq.

firewire: octlet AT payloads can be stack-allocated

2011-05-10T20:53:44+00:00

We do not need slab allocations anymore in order to satisfy
streaming DMA mapping constraints, thanks to commit da28947e7e36
"firewire: ohci: avoid separate DMA mapping for small AT payloads".

(Besides, the slab-allocated buffers that firewire-core, firewire-sbp2,
and firedtv used to provide for 8-byte write and lock requests were
still not fully portable since they crossed cacheline boundaries or
shared a cacheline with unrelated CPU-accessed data.  snd-firewire-lib
got this aspect right by using an extra kmalloc/ kfree just for the
8-byte transaction buffer.)

This change replaces kmalloc'ed lock transaction scratch buffers in
firewire-core, firedtv, and snd-firewire-lib by local stack allocations.
Perhaps the most notable result of the change is simpler locking because
there is no need to serialize usages of preallocated per-device buffers
anymore.  Also, allocations and deallocations are simpler.

firewire: use split transaction timeout only for split transactions

2011-01-04T07:48:34+00:00

Instead of starting the split transaction timeout timer when any request
is submitted, start it only when the destination's ACK_PENDING has been
received.  This prevents us from using a timeout that is too short, and,
if the controller's AT queue is emptying very slowly, from cancelling
a packet that has not yet been sent.

firewire: make PHY packet header format consistent

2010-12-13T19:39:14+00:00

Change the header of PHY packets to be sent to include a pseudo
transaction code.  This makes the header consistent with that of
received PHY packets, and allows at_context_queue_packet() and
log_ar_at_event() to see the packet type directly instead of having
to deduce it from the header length or even from the header contents.

firewire: core: do not use del_timer_sync() in interrupt context

2010-08-19T18:28:25+00:00

Because we might be in interrupt context, replace del_timer_sync() with
del_timer().  If the timer is already running, we know that it will
clean up the transaction, so we do not need to do any further processing
in the normal transaction handler.

Many thanks to Yong Zhang for diagnosing this.

firewire: core: fix upper bound of possible CSR allocations

2010-07-23T11:36:28+00:00

region->end is defined as an upper bound of the requested address range,
exclusive --- i.e. as an address outside of the range in which the
requested CSR is to be placed.

Hence 0x0001,0000,0000,0000 is the biggest valid region->end, not
0x0000,ffff,ffff,fffc like the current check asserted.

For simplicity, the fix drops the region->end & 3 test because there is
no actual problem with these bits set in region->end.  The allocated
address range will be quadlet aligned and of a size of multiple quadlets
due to the checks for region->start & 3 and handler->length & 3 alone.

firewire: cdev: add PHY packet reception

2010-07-23T11:36:28+00:00

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.
