Presently, firewire-core only checks whether descriptors that are to be
added by userspace drivers to the local node's config ROM do not exceed
a size of 256 quadlets.  However, the sum of the bare minimum ROM plus
all descriptors (from firewire-core, from firewire-net, from userspace)
must not exceed 256 quadlets.

Otherwise, the bounds of a statically allocated buffer will be
overwritten.  If the kernel survives that, firewire-core will
subsequently be unable to parse the local node's config ROM.

(Note, userspace drivers can add descriptors only through device files
of local nodes.  These are usually only accessible by root, unlike
device files of remote nodes which may be accessible to lesser
privileged users.)

Therefore add a test which takes the actual present and required ROM
size into account for all descriptors of kernelspace and userspace
drivers.

The Topology Map of the local node was created in CPU byte order,
then a temporary big endian copy was created to compute the CRC,
and when a read request to the Topology Map arrived it had to be
converted to big endian byte order again.

We now generate it in big endian byte order in the first place.
This also rids us of 1000 bytes stack usage in tasklet context.

Move the static config ROM buffer into the scope of the two callers of
generate_config_rom().  That way the ROM length can be passed over as
return value rather than through a pointer argument.

It also becomes more obvious that accesses to the config ROM buffer have
to be serialized and how this is accomplished.  And firewire-core.ko
shrinks a bit as well.

The config ROM image of the local node was created in CPU byte order,
then a temporary big endian copy was created to compute the CRC, and
finally the card driver created its own big endian copy.

We now generate it in big endian byte order in the first place to avoid
one byte order conversion and the temporary on-stack copy of the ROM
image (1000 bytes stack usage in process context).  Furthermore, two
1000 bytes memset()s are replaced by one 1000 bytes - ROM length sized
memset.

The trivial fw_memcpy_{from,to}_be32() helpers are now superfluous and
removed.  The newly added __compute_block_crc() function will be folded
into fw_compute_block_crc() in a subsequent change.

<content type='text'>
A few stylistic changes to unify some code patterns in the subsystem:

  - The similar queue_delayed_work helpers fw_schedule_bm_work,
    schedule_iso_resource, and sbp2_queue_work now have the same call
    convention.
  - Two conditional calls of schedule_iso_resource are factored into
    another small helper.
  - An sbp2_target_get helper is added as counterpart to
    sbp2_target_put.

Object size of firewire-core is decreased a little bit, object size of
firewire-sbp2 remains unchanged.

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-&gt;driver-&gt;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.

<title>firewire: core: do not DMA-map stack addresses</title>

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.

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(&amp;card-&gt;done) will be triggered after
upper layers gave up all fw_device references, after which the card
driver's shutdown proceeds.

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.
