2007-02-17ieee1394: fix another deadlock in nodemgrStefan Richter
A "modprobe ohci1394; sleep 1.5; modprobe -r ohci1394" could get stuck in uninterruptible state, especially if an external node was connected. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7792 Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
2007-02-08ieee1394: fix host device registering when nodemgr disabledStefan Richter
Since my commit 8252bbb1363b7fe963a3eb6f8a36da619a6f5a65 in 2.6.20-rc1, host devices have a dummy driver attached. Alas the driver was not registered before use if ieee1394 was loaded with disable_nodemgr=1. This resulted in non-functional FireWire drivers or kernel lockup. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7942 Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

2006-12-07ieee1394: Consolidate driver registeringBen Collins
This patch consolidates some bookkeeping for driver registering. It closely models what pci_register_driver() does. The main addition is that the owner of the driver is set, so we get a proper symlink for /sys/bus/ieee1394/driver/*/module. Also moves setting of name and bus type into nodemgr. Because of this, we can remove the EXPORT_SYMBOL for ieee1394_bus_type, since it's now only used in ieee1394.ko. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

2006-12-07ieee1394: nodemgr: fix deadlock in shutdownStefan Richter
If "modprobe ohci1394" was quickly followed by "modprobe -r ohci1394", say with 1 second pause in between, the modprobe -r got stuck in uninterruptible sleep in kthread_stop. At the same time the knodemgrd slept uninterruptibly in bus_rescan_devices_helper. That's because driver_detach took the semaphore of the PCI device and bus_rescan_devices_helper wanted to take the semaphore of the FireWire host device's parent, which is the same semaphore. This was a regression since Linux 2.6.16, commit bf74ad5bc41727d5f2f1c6bedb2c1fac394de731, "Hold the device's parent's lock during probe and remove". The fix (or workaround) adds a dummy driver to the hpsb_host device. Now bus_rescan_devices_helper won't scan the host device anymore. This doesn't hurt since we have no drivers which will bind to these devices and it is unlikely that there will ever be such a driver. The dummy driver is befittingly presented as a representation of ieee1394 itself. Fixes: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6706 Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

2006-12-07ieee1394: nodemgr: revise semaphore protection of driver core dataStefan Richter
- The list "struct class.children" is supposed to be protected by class.sem, not by class.subsys.rwsem. - nodemgr_remove_uds() iterated over nodemgr_ud_class.children without proper protection. This was never observed as a bug since the code is usually only accessed by knodemgrd. All knodemgrds are currently globally serialized. But userspace can trigger this code too by writing to /sys/bus/ieee1394/destroy_node. - Clean up access to the FireWire bus type's subsys.rwsem: Access it uniformly via ieee1394_bus_type. Shrink rwsem protected regions where possible. Expand them where necessary. The latter wasn't a problem so far because knodemgr is globally serialized. This should harden the interaction of ieee1394 with sysfs and lay ground for deserialized operation of multiple knodemgrds and for implementation of subthreads for parallelized scanning and probing.

2006-09-17ieee1394: shrink tlabel pools, remove tpool semaphoresStefan Richter
This patch reduces the size of struct hpsb_host and also removes semaphores from ieee1394_transactions.c. On i386, struct hpsb_host shrinks from 10656 bytes to 6688 bytes. This is accomplished by - using a single wait_queue for hpsb_get_tlabel instead of many instances of semaphores, - using a single lock to serialize access to all tlabel pools (the protected code regions are small, i.e. lock contention very low), - omitting the sysfs attribute tlabels_allocations. Drawback: In the rare case that a process needs to sleep because all transaction labels for the node are temporarily exhausted, it is also woken up if a tlabel for a different node became free, checks for an available tlabel, and is put to sleep again. The check is not costly and the situation occurs extremely rarely. (Tlabels are typically only exhausted if there was no context switch to the khpsbpkt thread which recycles tlables.) Therefore the benefit of reduced tpool size outweighs this drawback. The sysfs attributes tlabels_free and tlabels_mask are not compiled anymore unless CONFIG_IEEE1394_VERBOSEDEBUG is set. The by far biggest member of struct hpsb_host, the struct csr_control csr (5272 bytes on i386), is now placed at the end of struct hpsb_host. Note, hpsb_get_tlabel calls the macro wait_event_interruptible with a condition argument which has a side effect (allocation of a tlabel and manipulation of the packet). This side effect happens only if the condition is true. The patch relies on wait_event_interruptible not evaluating the condition again after it became true.

2006-07-03[PATCH] ieee1394: nodemgr: convert nodemgr_serialize semaphore to mutexStefan Richter
Another trivial sem2mutex conversion. Side note: nodemgr_serialize's purpose, when introduced in linux1394's revision 529 in July 2002, was to protect several data structures which are now largely handled by or together with Linux' driver core and are now protected by the LDM's own mechanisms. It may very well be possible to remove this mutex now. But fully parallelized node scanning is on our long-term TODO list anyway; the mutex will certainly go away then.

2006-07-03[PATCH] ieee1394: nodemgr: do not spawn kernel_thread for sysfs rescanStefan Richter
nodemgr.c::fw_set_rescan() is used to re-run the driver core over nodemgr's representation of unit directories in order to initiate protocol driver probes. It is initiated via write access to one of nodemgr's sysfs attributes. The purpose is to attach drivers to units after switching a unit's ignore_driver attribute from 1 to 0. It is not really necessary to fork a kernel_thread for this job. The call to kernel_thread() can be eliminated to avoid the deprecated API and to simplify the code a bit.

2006-07-03[PATCH] ieee1394: fix cosmetic problem in speed probeStefan Richter
If ieee1394.h::IEEE1394_SPEED_MAX is bigger than the actual speed of an 1394b host adapter and the speed to another 1394b node was probed, a bigger speed than actually used was kept in host->speed[n]. The only resulting problem so far was sbp2 displaying bogus values in the syslog, e.g. S3200 for actual S800 connections if IEEE1394_SPEED_MAX was S3200. But other high-level drivers which access this field could get into more trouble. (Eth1394 is the only other in-tree driver which does so. It seems it is not affected.) Nodemgr now clips this value according to the host adapter's link speed. A pointer expression in nodemgr_check_speed is also changed for clarity.

2006-06-12ieee1394: support for slow links or slow 1394b phy portsBen Collins
Add support for the following types of hardware: + nodes that have a link speed < PHY speed + 1394b PHYs that are less than S800 capable + 1394b/1394a adapter cable between two 1394b PHYs Also, S1600 and S3200 are now supported if IEEE1394_SPEED_MAX is raised. A probing function is added to nodemgr's config ROM fetching routine which adjusts the allowable speed if an access problem was encountered. Pros and Cons of the approach: + minimum code footprint to support this less widely used hardware + nearly no overhead for unaffected hardware - ineffective before nodemgr began to read the ROM of affected nodes - ineffective if ieee1394 is loaded with disable_nodemgr=1 The speed map CSRs which are published to the bus are not touched by the patch.

2005-12-12ieee1394: run high-level updates before high-level probesStefan Richter
After a bus reset, let nodemgr call high-level update hooks first for nodes which do not need to be probed. The main benefit is for a bus with more than one SBP-2 device: SBP-2 reconnects will be performed before SBP-2 logins, thus have a much higher chance to succeed, and their SCSI devices will not be blocked much longer than necessary. This was demonstrated for Linux 2.4 by Dave Cinege a while ago. A better approach would be to perform time-consuming probes in parallel by a subthread. I actually plan to implement this for sbp2 but it may take a while to get that done and tested. Until then, this tweak is a huge improvement for users with multiple SBP-2 devices.

2005-07-10[PATCH] Sync up ieee-1394Ben Collins
Lots of this patch is trivial code cleanups (static vars were being intialized to 0, etc). There's also some fixes for ISO transmits (max buffer handling). Aswell, we have a few fixes to disable IRM capabilites correctly. We've also disabled, by default some generally unused EXPORT symbols for the sake of cleanliness in the kernel. However, instead of removing them completely, we felt it necessary to have a config option that allowed them to be enabled for the many projects outside of the main kernel tree that use our API for driver development. The primary reason for this patch is to revert a MODE6->MODE10 RBC conversion patch from the SCSI maintainers. The new conversions handled directly in the scsi layer do not seem to work for SBP2. This patch reverts to our old working code so that users can enjoy using Firewire disks and dvd drives again. We are working with the SCSI maintainers to resolve this issue outside of the main kernel tree. We'll merge the patch once the SCSI layer's handling of the MODE10 conversion is working for us.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
