The source files of firewire-core, firewire-ohci, firewire-sbp2, i.e.
 "drivers/firewire/fw-*.c"
are renamed to
 "drivers/firewire/core-*.c",
 "drivers/firewire/ohci.c",
 "drivers/firewire/sbp2.c".

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

This change comes a little late, but still before further firewire
drivers are added as anticipated RSN.

<title>firewire: reorganize header files</title>

<id>77c9a5daa9c4d9b37812c9c69c7bcbb3f9399c3c</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

Due to AV/C protocol extensions, FireDTV devices need a vendor-specific
driver.  But their configuration ROM features a vendor ID only in the
root directory, not in the unit directory.

<title>firewire: core: add sysfs attribute for easier udev rules</title>
<updated>2009-06-01T10:48:49+00:00</updated>

<name>Stefan Richter</name>
<email>stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de</email>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=0210b66dd88a2a1e451901b00378a2068b6ccb35'/>
<id>0210b66dd88a2a1e451901b00378a2068b6ccb35</id>
<content type='text'>
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

struct fw_attribute_group.attrs.[] must have enough room for all

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.

My recently added test for a device being local in fw-cdev.c got it
slightly wrong:  Comparisons of node IDs are only valid if the
generation is current, which I forgot to check.  Normally, serialization
by card-&gt;lock takes care of this, but a device in FW_DEVICE_GONE state
will necessarily have a wrong generation and invalid node_id.

The "is it local?" check is made 100% correct and simpler now by means
of a struct fw_device flag which is set at fw_device creation.

Besides the fw-cdev site which was to be fixed, there is another site
which can make use of the new flag, and an RFC-2734 driver will benefit
from it too.

Cache the test result of whether a device implements BROADCAST_CHANNEL.
This minimizes traffic on the bus after each bus reset.  A majority of
devices does not implement BROADCAST_CHANNEL.

Remove busy retries; just rely on the hardware to retry requests to busy
responders.  Remove unnecessary log messages.

Rename the flag is_irm to broadcast_channel_allocated to better reflect
its meaning.  Reset the flag earlier in fw_core_handle_bus_reset.

Pass the generation down as a call parameter; that way generation can't
be newer than card-&gt;broadcast_channel_allocated and device-&gt;node_id.

This patch adds the ISO broadcast channel support that is required of a
1394a IRM.  In specific, if the local device the IRM, it allocates ISO
channel 31 and sets the broadcast channel register of all devices on the
local bus to BROADCAST_CHANNEL_INITIAL | BROADCAST_CHANNEL_VALID to indicate
that channel 31 can be use for broadcast messages.

One minor complication is that on startup the local device may become IRM
before all the devices on the bus have been enumerated by the stack.  Therefore
we have to keep a "the local device is IRM" flag and possibly set the
broadcast channel register of new devices at enumeration time.
