In the case of firewire core function, the caller of show functions for
device attributes is not only sysfs user, but also device initialization.

This commit adds memo about it against the typical assumption that the
functions are just dedicated to sysfs user.

So we can kill the unnecessary buf check safely.

<title>firewire: core: use long bus reset on gap count error</title>

<content type='text'>
When resetting the bus after a gap count error, use a long rather than
short bus reset.

IEEE 1394-1995 uses only long bus resets. IEEE 1394a adds the option of
short bus resets. When video or audio transmission is in progress and a
device is hot-plugged elsewhere on the bus, the resulting bus reset can
cause video frame drops or audio dropouts. Short bus resets reduce or
eliminate this problem. Accordingly, short bus resets are almost always
preferred.

However, on a mixed 1394/1394a bus, a short bus reset can trigger an
immediate additional bus reset. This double bus reset can be interpreted
differently by different nodes on the bus, resulting in an inconsistent gap
count after the bus reset. An inconsistent gap count will cause another bus
reset, leading to a neverending bus reset loop. This only happens for some
bus topologies, not for all mixed 1394/1394a buses.

By instead sending a long bus reset after a gap count inconsistency, we
avoid the doubled bus reset, restoring the bus to normal operation.

<title>firewire: core: send bus reset promptly on gap count error</title>

<id>7ed4380009e96d9e9c605e12822e987b35b05648</id>
<content type='text'>
If we are bus manager and the bus has inconsistent gap counts, send a
bus reset immediately instead of trying to read the root node's config
ROM first. Otherwise, we could spend a lot of time trying to read the
config ROM but never succeeding.

This eliminates a 50+ second delay before the FireWire bus is usable after
a newly connected device is powered on in certain circumstances.

The delay occurs if a gap count inconsistency occurs, we are not the root
node, and we become bus manager. One scenario that causes this is with a TI
XIO2213B OHCI, the first time a Sony DSR-25 is powered on after being
connected to the FireWire cable. In this configuration, the Linux box will
not receive the initial PHY configuration packet sent by the DSR-25 as IRM,
resulting in the DSR-25 having a gap count of 44 while the Linux box has a
gap count of 63.

FireWire devices have a gap count parameter, which is set to 63 on power-up
and can be changed with a PHY configuration packet. This determines the
duration of the subaction and arbitration gaps. For reliable communication,
all nodes on a FireWire bus must have the same gap count.

A node may have zero or more of the following roles: root node, bus manager
(BM), isochronous resource manager (IRM), and cycle master. Unless a root
node was forced with a PHY configuration packet, any node might become root
node after a bus reset. Only the root node can become cycle master. If the
root node is not cycle master capable, the BM or IRM should force a change
of root node.

After a bus reset, each node sends a self-ID packet, which contains its
current gap count. A single bus reset does not change the gap count, but
two bus resets in a row will set the gap count to 63. Because a consistent
gap count is required for reliable communication, IEEE 1394a-2000 requires
that the bus manager generate a bus reset if it detects that the gap count
is inconsistent.

When the gap count is inconsistent, build_tree() will notice this after the
self identification process. It will set card-&gt;gap_count to the invalid
value 0. If we become bus master, this will force bm_work() to send a bus
reset when it performs gap count optimization.

After a bus reset, there is no bus manager. We will almost always try to
become bus manager. Once we become bus manager, we will first determine
whether the root node is cycle master capable. Then, we will determine if
the gap count should be changed. If either the root node or the gap count
should be changed, we will generate a bus reset.

To determine if the root node is cycle master capable, we read its
configuration ROM. bm_work() will wait until we have finished trying to
read the configuration ROM.

However, an inconsistent gap count can make this take a long time.
read_config_rom() will read the first few quadlets from the config ROM. Due
to the gap count inconsistency, eventually one of the reads will time out.
When read_config_rom() fails, fw_device_init() calls it again until
MAX_RETRIES is reached. This takes 50+ seconds.

Once we give up trying to read the configuration ROM, bm_work() will wake
up, assume that the root node is not cycle master capable, and do a bus
reset. Hopefully, this will resolve the gap count inconsistency.

This change makes bm_work() check for an inconsistent gap count before
waiting for the root node's configuration ROM. If the gap count is
inconsistent, bm_work() will immediately do a bus reset. This eliminates
the 50+ second delay and rapidly brings the bus to a working state.

I considered that if the gap count is inconsistent, a PHY configuration
packet might not be successful, so it could be desirable to skip the PHY
configuration packet before the bus reset in this case. However, IEEE
1394a-2000 and IEEE 1394-2008 say that the bus manager may transmit a PHY
configuration packet before a bus reset when correcting a gap count error.
Since the standard endorses this, I decided it's safe to retain the PHY
configuration packet transmission.

Normally, after a topology change, we will reset the bus a maximum of 5
times to change the root node and perform gap count optimization. However,
if there is a gap count inconsistency, we must always generate a bus reset.
Otherwise the gap count inconsistency will persist and communication will
be unreliable. For that reason, if there is a gap count inconstency, we
generate a bus reset even if we already reached the 5 reset limit.

If we are bus manager and the bus has inconsistent gap counts, send a
bus reset immediately instead of trying to read the root node's config
ROM first. Otherwise, we could spend a lot of time trying to read the
config ROM but never succeeding.

This eliminates a 50+ second delay before the FireWire bus is usable after
a newly connected device is powered on in certain circumstances.

The delay occurs if a gap count inconsistency occurs, we are not the root
node, and we become bus manager. One scenario that causes this is with a TI
XIO2213B OHCI, the first time a Sony DSR-25 is powered on after being
connected to the FireWire cable. In this configuration, the Linux box will
not receive the initial PHY configuration packet sent by the DSR-25 as IRM,
resulting in the DSR-25 having a gap count of 44 while the Linux box has a
gap count of 63.

FireWire devices have a gap count parameter, which is set to 63 on power-up
and can be changed with a PHY configuration packet. This determines the
duration of the subaction and arbitration gaps. For reliable communication,
all nodes on a FireWire bus must have the same gap count.

A node may have zero or more of the following roles: root node, bus manager
(BM), isochronous resource manager (IRM), and cycle master. Unless a root
node was forced with a PHY configuration packet, any node might become root
node after a bus reset. Only the root node can become cycle master. If the
root node is not cycle master capable, the BM or IRM should force a change
of root node.

After a bus reset, each node sends a self-ID packet, which contains its
current gap count. A single bus reset does not change the gap count, but
two bus resets in a row will set the gap count to 63. Because a consistent
gap count is required for reliable communication, IEEE 1394a-2000 requires
that the bus manager generate a bus reset if it detects that the gap count
is inconsistent.

When the gap count is inconsistent, build_tree() will notice this after the
self identification process. It will set card-&gt;gap_count to the invalid
value 0. If we become bus master, this will force bm_work() to send a bus
reset when it performs gap count optimization.

After a bus reset, there is no bus manager. We will almost always try to
become bus manager. Once we become bus manager, we will first determine
whether the root node is cycle master capable. Then, we will determine if
the gap count should be changed. If either the root node or the gap count
should be changed, we will generate a bus reset.

It appears that Sony DVMC-DA1 has a quirk that the descriptor leaf entry
locates just after the vendor directory entry in root directory. This is
not conformant to the legacy layout of configuration ROM described in
Configuration ROM for AV/C Devices 1.0 (1394 Trading Association, Dec 2000,
TA Document 1999027).

This commit changes current implementation to parse configuration ROM for
device attributes so that the descriptor leaf entry can be detected for
the vendor name.
