2010-11-17firewire: net: throttle TX queue before running out of tlabelsStefan Richter
This prevents firewire-net from submitting write requests in fast succession until failure due to all 64 transaction labels were used up for unfinished split transactions. The netif_stop/wake_queue API is used for this purpose. Without this stop/wake mechanism, datagrams were simply lost whenever the tlabel pool was exhausted. Plus, tlabel exhaustion by firewire-net also prevented other unrelated outbound transactions to be initiated. The chosen queue depth was checked by me to hit the maximum possible throughput with an OS X peer whose receive DMA is good enough to never reject requests due to busy inbound request FIFO. Current Linux peers show a mixed picture of -5%...+15% change in bandwidth; their current bottleneck are RCODE_BUSY situations (fewer or more, depending on TX queue depth) due to too small AR buffer in firewire-ohci. Maxim Levitsky tested this change with similar watermarks with a Linux peer and some pending firewire-ohci improvements that address the RCODE_BUSY problem and confirmed that these TX queue limits are good. Note: This removes some netif_wake_queue from reception code paths. They were apparently copy&paste artefacts from a nonsensical netif_wake_queue use in the older eth1394 driver. This belongs only into the transmit path. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de> Tested-by: Maxim Levitsky <maximlevitsky@gmail.com>
2010-11-17firewire: net: replace lists by countersStefan Richter
The current transmit code does not at all make use of - fwnet_device.packet_list and only very limited use of - fwnet_device.broadcasted_list, - fwnet_device.queued_packets. Their current function is to track whether the TX soft-IRQ finished dealing with an skb when the AT-req tasklet takes over, and to discard pending tx datagrams (if there are any) when the local node is removed. The latter does actually contain a race condition bug with TX soft-IRQ and AT-req tasklet. Instead of these lists and the corresponding link in fwnet_packet_task, - a flag in fwnet_packet_task to track whether fwnet_tx is done, - a counter of queued datagrams in fwnet_device do the job as well. The above mentioned theoretic race condition is resolved by letting fwnet_remove sleep until all datagrams were flushed. It may sleep almost arbitrarily long since fwnet_remove is executed in the context of a multithreaded (concurrency managed) workqueue. The type of max_payload is changed to u16 here to avoid waste in struct fwnet_packet_task. This value cannot exceed 4096 per IEEE 1394:2008 table 16-18 (or 32678 per specification of packet headers, if there is ever going to be something else than beta mode).

2010-11-17firewire: net: fix memory leaksStefan Richter
a) fwnet_transmit_packet_done used to poison ptask->pt_link by list_del. If fwnet_send_packet checked later whether it was responsible to clean up (in the border case that the TX soft IRQ was outpaced by the AT-req tasklet on another CPU), it missed this because ptask->pt_link was no longer shown as empty. b) If fwnet_write_complete got an rcode other than RCODE_COMPLETE, we missed to free the skb and ptask entirely. Also, count stats.tx_dropped and stats.tx_errors when rcode != 0. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

2010-11-16SCSI host lock push-downJeff Garzik
Move the mid-layer's ->queuecommand() invocation from being locked with the host lock to being unlocked to facilitate speeding up the critical path for drivers who don't need this lock taken anyway. The patch below presents a simple SCSI host lock push-down as an equivalent transformation. No locking or other behavior should change with this patch. All existing bugs and locking orders are preserved. Additionally, add one parameter to queuecommand, struct Scsi_Host * and remove one parameter from queuecommand, void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *) Scsi_Host* is a convenient pointer that most host drivers need anyway, and 'done' is redundant to struct scsi_cmnd->scsi_done. Minimal code disturbance was attempted with this change. Most drivers needed only two one-line modifications for their host lock push-down.

2010-10-30firewire: ohci: fix race when reading count in AR descriptorClemens Ladisch
If the controller is storing a split packet and therefore changing d->res_count to zero between the two reads by the driver, we end up with an end pointer that is not at a packet boundary, and therefore overflow the buffer when handling the split packet. To fix this, read the field once, atomically. The compiler usually merges the two reads anyway, but for correctness, we have to enforce it.

2010-10-30firewire: ohci: fix race in AR split packet handlingClemens Ladisch
When handling an AR buffer that has been completely filled, we assumed that its descriptor will not be read by the controller and can be overwritten. However, when the last received packet happens to end at the end of the buffer, the controller might not yet have moved on to the next buffer and might read the branch address later. If we overwrite and free the page before that, the DMA context will either go dead because of an invalid Z value, or go off into some random memory. To fix this, ensure that the descriptor does not get overwritten by using only the actual buffer instead of the entire page for reassembling the split packet. Furthermore, to avoid freeing the page too early, move on to the next buffer only when some data in it guarantees that the controller has moved on. This should eliminate the remaining firewire-net problems.

2010-10-30firewire: ohci: fix buffer overflow in AR split packet handlingClemens Ladisch
When the controller had to split a received asynchronous packet into two buffers, the driver tries to reassemble it by copying both parts into the first page. However, if size + rest > PAGE_SIZE, i.e., if the yet unhandled packets before the split packet, the split packet itself, and any received packets after the split packet are together larger than one page, then the memory after the first page would get overwritten. To fix this, do not try to copy the data of all unhandled packets at once, but copy the possibly needed data every time when handling a packet. This gets rid of most of the infamous crashes and data corruptions when using firewire-net.

2010-10-15llseek: automatically add .llseek fopArnd Bergmann
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a .llseek pointer. The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek. New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code relies on calling seek on the device file. The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle. Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window. Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic patch that does all this. ===== begin semantic patch ===== // This adds an llseek= method to all file operations, // as a preparation for making no_llseek the default. // // The rules are // - use no_llseek explicitly if we do nonseekable_open // - use seq_lseek for sequential files // - use default_llseek if we know we access f_pos // - use noop_llseek if we know we don't access f_pos, // but we still want to allow users to call lseek // @ open1 exists @ identifier nested_open; @@ nested_open(...) { <+... nonseekable_open(...) ...+> } @ open exists@ identifier open_f; identifier i, f; identifier open1.nested_open; @@ int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) { <+...

2010-10-11ieee1394: remove the old IEEE 1394 driver stackStefan Richter
The drivers - ohci1394 (controller driver) - ieee1394 (core) - dv1394, raw1394, video1394 (userspace ABI) - eth1394, sbp2 (protocol drivers) are replaced by - firewire-ohci (controller driver) - firewire-core (core and userspace ABI) - firewire-net, firewire-sbp2 (protocol drivers) which are more featureful, better performing, and more secure than the older drivers; all with a smaller and more modern code base. The driver firedtv in drivers/media/dvb/firewire/ contains backends to both ieee1394 and firewire-core. Its ieee1394 backend code can be removed in an independent commit; firedtv as-is builds and works fine without ieee1394. The driver pcilynx (an incomplete controller driver) is deleted without replacement since PCILynx cards are extremely rare. Owners of these cards use them with the stand-alone bus sniffer driver nosy instead. The drivers nosy and init_ohci1394_dma which do not interact with either of the two IEEE 1394 stacks are not affected by the ieee1394 subsystem removal. There are still some issues with the newer firewire subsystem compared to the older one: - The rare and quirky controllers ALi M52xx, Apple UniNorth v1, NVIDIA NForce2 are even less well supported by firewire-ohci than by ohci1394. I am looking into the M52xx issue. - The experimental firewire-net is reportedly less stable than its experimental cousin eth1394. - Audio playback of a certain group of audio devices (ones based on DICE chipset with EAP; supported by prerelease FFADO code) does not work yet. This issue is still under investigation. - There were some ieee1394 based out-of-the-mainline drivers. Of them, only lisight, an audio driver for iSight webcams, seems still useful. Work is underway to reimplement it on top of firewire-core. All these remainig issues are minor; they should not stand in the way of overall better user experience of IEEE 1394 on Linux, together with a reduction in support efforts and maintenance burden. The coexistence of two IEEE 1394 kernel driver stacks in the mainline since 2.6.22 shall end now, as announced earlier this year. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

VIA VT6306, VIA VT6308, and NEC OrangeLink controllers do not write packet event codes for received PHY packets (or perhaps write evt_no_status, hard to tell). Work around it by overwriting the packet's ACK by ack_complete, so that upper layers that listen to PHY packet reception get to see these packets. (Also tested: TI TSB82AA2, TI TSB43AB22/A, TI XIO2213A, Agere FW643, JMicron JMB381 --- these do not exhibit this bug.) Clemens proposed a quirks flag for that, IOW whitelist known misbehaving controllers for this workaround. Though to me it seems harmless enough to enable for all controllers.

The incoming request hander fwnet_receive_packet() expects subsequent datagram handling code to return non-zero on errors. However, almost none of the failure paths did so. Fix them all. (This error reporting is used to send and RCODE_CONFLICT_ERROR to the sender node in such failure cases. Two modes of failure exist: Out of memory, or firewire-net is unaware of any peer node to which a fragment or an ARP packet belongs.

2010-08-19firewire: sbp2: fix stall with "Unsolicited response"Stefan Richter
Fix I/O stalls with some 4-bay RAID enclosures which are based on OXUF936QSE: - Onnto dataTale RSM4QO, old firmware (not anymore with current firmware), - inXtron Hydra Super-S LCM, old as well as current firmware when used in RAID-5 mode, perhaps also in other RAID modes. The stalls happen during heavy or moderate disk traffic in periods that are a multiple of 5 minutes, roughly twice per hour. They are caused by the target responding too late to an ORB_Pointer register write: The target responds after Split_Timeout, hence firewire-core cancels the transaction, and firewire-sbp2 fails the SCSI request. The SCSI core retries the request, that fails again (and again), hence SCSI core calls firewire-sbp2's abort handler (and even the Management_Agent register write in the abort handler has the transaction timeout problem). During all that, the process which issued the I/O is stalled in I/O wait state. Meanwhile, the target actually acts on the first failed SCSI request: It responds to the ORB_Pointer write later (seen in the kernel log as "firewire_core: Unsolicited response") and also finishes the SCSI request with proper status (seen in the kernel log as "firewire_sbp2: status write for unknown orb"). So let's just ignore RCODE_CANCELLED in the transaction callback and wait for the target to complete the ORB nevertheless. This requires a small modification is sbp2_cancel_orbs(); it now needs to call orb->callback() regardless whether fw_cancel_transaction() found the transaction unfinished or finished. A different solution is to increase Split_Timeout on the local node. (Tested: 2000ms timeout; maybe 1000ms or something like that works too. 200ms is insufficient. Standard is 100ms.) However, I rather not do this because any software on any node could change the Split_Timeout to something unsuitable. Or such a large Split_Timeout may be undesirable for other purposes.

Background: In total, we hold 3 references to each Operation Request Block: - 1 during sbp2_scsi_queuecommand() or sbp2_send_management_orb() respectively, - 1 for the duration of the write transaction to the ORB_Pointer or Management_Agent register of the target, - 1 for as long as the ORB stays within the lu->orb_list, until the ORB is unlinked from the list and the orb->callback was executed. The latter one of these 3 references is finished - normally by sbp2_status_write() when the target wrote status for a pending ORB, - or by sbp2_cancel_orbs() in case of an ORB time-out, - or by complete_transaction() in case of a send error. Of them, the latter two lacked the kref_put. Add the missing kref_put()s. Add comments to the gets and puts of references for transaction callbacks and ORB callbacks so that it is easier to see what is supposed to happen.

2010-08-17ethtool: Provide a default implementation of ethtool_ops::get_drvinfoBen Hutchings
The driver name and bus address for a net_device can normally be found through the driver model now. Instead of requiring drivers to provide this information redundantly through the ethtool_ops::get_drvinfo operation, use the driver model to do so if the driver does not define the operation. Since ETHTOOL_GDRVINFO no longer requires the driver to implement any operations, do not require net_device::ethtool_ops to be set either. Remove implementations of get_drvinfo and ethtool_ops that provide only this information. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

There is an at least theoretic race condition in which .start_iso etc. could still be called between when the dummy driver is bound to the card and when the children devices are being shut down. Add dummy_start_iso and friends. On the other hand, .enable, .set_config_rom, .read_csr, write_csr do not need to be implemented by the dummy driver, as commented.

2010-07-29firewire: add isochronous multichannel receptionStefan Richter
This adds the DMA context programming and userspace ABI for multichannel reception, i.e. for listening on multiple channel numbers by means of a single DMA context. The use case is reception of more streams than there are IR DMA units offered by the link layer. This is already implemented by the older ohci1394 + ieee1394 + raw1394 stack. And as discussed recently on linux1394-devel, this feature is occasionally used in practice. The big drawbacks of this mode are that buffer layout and interrupt generation necessarily differ from single-channel reception: Headers and trailers are not stripped from packets, packets are not aligned with buffer chunks, interrupts are per buffer chunk, not per packet. These drawbacks also cause a rather hefty code footprint to support this rarely used OHCI-1394 feature. (367 lines added, among them 94 lines of added userspace ABI documentation.) This implementation enforces that a multichannel reception context may only listen to channels to which no single-channel context on the same link layer is presently listening to. OHCI-1394 would allow to overlay single-channel contexts by the multi-channel context, but this would be a departure from the present first-come-first-served policy of IR context creation. The implementation is heavily based on an earlier one by Jay Fenlason. Thanks Jay. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

2010-07-27firewire: nosy: endianess fixes and annotationsStefan Richter
1.) The DMA programs (struct pcl) are PCI-endian = little endian data (except for the 3rd quadlet in a PCL which the controller does not touch). Annotate them as such. Fix all accesses of the PCL to work with big endian CPUs also. Not actually tested, I only have a little endian PC to test with. This includes replacement of a bitfield struct pcl_status by open-coded shift and mask operations. 2.) The two __attribute__ ((packed)) at struct pcl are not really required since it consists of u32/__le32 only, i.e. there will be no padding with or without the attribute. 3.) The received IEEE 1394 data are byteswapped by the controller from IEEE 1394 endian = big endian to PCI endian = little endian because the PCL_BIGENDIAN control bit is set. Therefore annotate the DMA buffer as a __le32 array. Fix the one access of the DMA buffer (the check of the transaction code of link packets) to work with big endian CPUs. Also fix the two accesses of the client bounce buffer (the reading of packet length). 4.) Add a comment to the userspace ABI header that all of the data gets out as little endian data, except for the timestamp which is CPU endian. (We could make it little endian too, but why? Vice versa, an ioctl could be added to dump packet data in big endian byte order...) Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

2010-07-27firewire: nosy: convert to unlocked ioctlStefan Richter
The required serialization of NOSY_IOC_START and NOSY_IOC_STOP is already provided by the client_list_lock. NOSY_IOC_FILTER does not really require serialization since accesses to tcode_mask are atomic on any sane CPU architecture. Nevertheless, make it explicit that we want this to be atomic by means of client_list_lock (which also surrounds the other tcode_mask access in the IRQ handler). While we are at it, change the type of tcode_mask to u32 for consistency with the user API. NOSY_IOC_GET_STATS does not require serialization against itself. But there is a bug here regarding concurrent updates of the two counters by the IRQ handler. Fix it by taking the client_list_lock in this ioctl too.

2010-07-27firewire: new driver: nosy - IEEE 1394 traffic snifferStefan Richter
This adds the traffic sniffer driver for Texas Instruments PCILynx/ PCILynx2 based cards. The use cases for nosy are analysis of nonstandard protocols and as an aid in development of drivers, applications, or firmwares. Author of the driver is Kristian Høgsberg. Known contributers are Jody McIntyre and Jonathan Woithe. Nosy programs PCILynx chips to operate in promiscuous mode, which is a feature that is not found in OHCI-1394 controllers. Hence, only special hardware as mentioned in the Kconfig help text is suitable for nosy. This is only the kernelspace part of nosy. There is a userspace interface to it, called nosy-dump, proposed to be added into the tools/ subdirectory of the kernel sources in a subsequent change. Kernelspace and userspave component of nosy communicate via a 'misc' character device file called /dev/nosy with a simple ioctl() and read() based protocol, as described by nosy-user.h. The files added here are taken from git://anongit.freedesktop.org/~krh/nosy commit ee29be97 (2009-11-10) with the following changes by Stefan Richter: - Kconfig and Makefile hunks are written from scratch. - Commented out version printk in nosy.c. - Included missing <linux/sched.h>, reported by Stephen Rothwell.

As a low-level IEEE 1394 driver, its files are placed into drivers/firewire/ although nosy is not part of the firewire driver stack.

2010-07-23firewire: cdev: improve FW_CDEV_IOC_ALLOCATEStefan Richter
In both the ieee1394 stack and the firewire stack, the core treats kernelspace drivers better than userspace drivers when it comes to CSR address range allocation: The former may request a register to be placed automatically at a free spot anywhere inside a specified address range. The latter may only request a register at a fixed offset. Hence, userspace drivers which do not require a fixed offset potentially need to implement a retry loop with incremented offset in each retry until the kernel does not fail allocation with EBUSY. This awkward procedure is not fundamentally necessary as the core already provides a superior allocation API to kernelspace drivers. Therefore change the ioctl() ABI by addition of a region_end member in the existing struct fw_cdev_allocate. Userspace and kernelspace APIs work the same way now. There is a small cost to pay by clients though: If client source code is required to compile with older kernel headers too, then any use of the new member fw_cdev_allocate.region_end needs to be enclosed by #ifdef/#endif directives. However, any client program that seriously wants to use address range allocations will require a kernel of cdev ABI version >= 4 at runtime and a linux/firewire-cdev.h header of >= 4 anyway. This is because v4 brings FW_CDEV_EVENT_REQUEST2. The only client program in which build-time compatibility with struct fw_cdev_allocate as found in older kernel headers makes sense is libraw1394. (libraw1394 uses the older broken FW_CDEV_EVENT_REQUEST to implement a makeshift, incorrect transaction responder that does at least work somewhat in many simple scenarios, relying on guesswork by libraw1394 and by libraw1394 based applications. Plus, address range allocation and transaction responder is only one of many features that libraw1394 needs to provide, and these other features need to work with kernel and kernel-headers as old as possible. Any new linux/firewire-cdev.h based client that implements a transaction responder should never attempt to do it like libraw1394; instead it should make a header and kernel of v4 or later a hard requirement.) While we are at it, update the struct fw_cdev_allocate documentation to better reflect the recent fw_cdev_event_request2 ABI addition. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
2010-07-23firewire: core: fix upper bound of possible CSR allocationsStefan Richter
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.
