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.

In the future, we are going to be changing the lock type for struct
device (once we get the lockdep infrastructure properly worked out) To
make that changeover easier, and to possibly burry the lock in a
different part of struct device, let's create some functions to lock and
unlock a device so that no out-of-core code needs to be changed in the
future.
This patch creates the device_lock/unlock/trylock() functions, and
converts all in-tree users to them.

While Module_Vendor_ID in the configuration ROM's root directory is
mandatory, there often aren't vendor IDs in unit directories. This
affects the new firedtv driver which is meant to be auto-loaded and
matched only for vendor-specific devices.
We now always copy ne->vendor_id into ud->vendor_id before we scan a
unit directory (and fill in a possibly present vendor ID from there).
This way, the root directory's vendor ID is used as fallback in the
"uevent" environment for modprobe'ing per module alias when a node was
plugged in, and in the driver match routine when protocol drivers are
bound to unit directories. It will however not be used as sysfs
attribute of a unit directory device.

A compiler barrier (explicit on the read side, implicit on the write
side) is not quite enough for what has to be accomplished here. Use
hardware memory barriers on systems which need them.
(Of course a full fix of generation handling would require much more
than this. The ieee1394 core's bus generation counter had to be tied to
the controller's bus generation counter; cf. Kristian's stack. It's
just that I have other current business with the code around these
barrier()s, so why not do at least this small fix.)

It is already known that buggy firmwares exist which report a bogus
link_spd in their config ROM bus info block. We now got the first
report of a bogus max_rom too (Freecom FireWire Hard Drive 1TB,
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12206).
I suspect other OSs only use quadlet reads to fetch the config ROM,
otherwise the firmware authors would have noticed their mistake.
Hence limit ieee1394's config ROM fetching routine to quadlets as the
safe minimum regardless of what the bus info block says.
This will potentially slow the bus reset handling by nodemgr somewhat
down. But most existing devices support only quadlet reads anyway,
hence there will often be no actual difference to before this change.

The firewire nodemanager function "nodemgr_host_thread" contains a loop
that calls try_to_freeze near the top of the loop, but then delays for
up to 3.25 seconds (plus time to do work) before getting back to the top
of the loop. When starting a cycle post-boot, this doesn't seem to bite,
but it is causing a noticeable delay at boot time, when freezing
processes prior to starting to read the image.
The following patch adds invocation of try_to_freeze to the subloops
that are used in the body of this function. With these additions, the
time to freeze when starting to resume at boot time is virtually zero.
I'm no expert on firewire, and so don't know that we shouldn't check
the return value and jump back to the top of the loop or such like after
being frozen, but I submit it for your consideration.
Signed-off-by: Nigel Cunningham <nigel@tuxonice.net>
The delay until nodemgr freezes was up to 0.25s (plus time for node
probes) in Linux 2.6.27 and older and up to 3.25s (plus ~) since Linux
2.6.28-rc1, hence much more noticeable.
try_to_freeze() without any jump is correct. The surrounding code in
the respective loops will catch whether another bus reset happens during
the freeze and handle it.

There are situations when nodes vanish from the bus and come back in
quickly thereafter:
- When certain bus-powered hubs are plugged in,
- when certain disk enclosures are switched from self-power to bus
power or vice versa and break the daisy chain during the transition,
- when the user plugs a cable out and quickly plugs it back in, e.g.
to reorder a daisy chain (works on Mac OS X if done quickly enough),
- when certain hubs temporarily malfunction during high bus traffic.
The ieee1394 driver's nodemgr already contained a function to set
vanished nodes aside into "limbo"; i.e. they wouldn't actually be
deleted right away. (In fact, only unloading the driver or writing into
an obscure sysfs attribute would delete them eventually.) If nodes
reappeared later, they would be resurrected out of limbo.
Moving nodes into and out of limbo was accompanied with calling the
.suspend() and .resume() driver methods of the drivers which were bound
to a respective node's unit directories. Not only is this somewhat
strange due to the intended use of these driver methods for power
management, also the sbp2 driver in particular does not implement
.suspend() and .resume(). Hence sbp2 would be disconnected from devices
in situations as listed above.
We now:
- leave drivers bound when nodes go into limbo,
- call the drivers' .update() when nodes come out of limbo,
- automatically delete in-limbo nodes 3 seconds after the last
bus reset and bus rescan.
- Because of the automatic removal, the now obsolete bus attribute
/sys/bus/ieee1394/destroy_node is removed.
This especially lets sbp2 survive brief disconnections. You can for
example yank a disk's cable and plug it back in while reading the
respective disk with dd, but dd will happily continue as if nothing
happened.

Regression since commit 73cf60232ef16e1f8a64defa97214a1722db1e6c,
"ieee1394: use class iteration api": The two loops for (1.) driver
updates and (2.) driver probes were replaced by a single loop with
bogus needs_probe checks. Hence updates and probes were now intermixed,
and especially sbp2 updates (reconnects) held up longer than necessary.
While we fix it, change the needs_probe flag to bool type for clarity.

These drivers don't need to match any unit_directory type device.
They just need the id_table for module autoloading per module alias.
Not binding any of these drivers allows special-purpose drivers with
similar or same IDs to bind to devices. This currently only benefits
out-of-tree drivers; on the other hand it is in no way detrimental to
in-tree drivers.

At least since nodemgr got rid of coarse global locking, accesses to
struct csr1212_keyval's reference counter should be atomic and coupled
with proper barriers. Also, calls to csr1212_keep_keyval(kv) should
occur before kv is being used.
(We probably should convert refcnt to struct kref, but how to keep
csr1212_destroy_keyval's implementation non-recursively then?)

csr1212_keep_keyval(kv) in nodemgr_process_root_directory was
unbalanced if ne->vendor_name_kv already exists. This happens for
example if eth1394 or raw1394 modify the local config ROM and it is
parsed again.
As a bonus, the attempt to add the vendor_name_kv sysfs attribute
when it already exists is now fixed for good.

The nodemgr host thread can exit on its own even when kthread_should_stop
is not true, on receiving a signal (might never happen in practice, as
it ignores signals). But considering kthread_stop() must not be mixed with
kthreads that can exit on their own, I think changing the code like this
is clearer. This change means the thread can cut its sleep short when
receive a signal but looking at the code around, that sounds okay (and
again, it might never actually recieve a signal in practice).

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

With "modprobe sbp2 long_ieee1394_id=y", the format of
/sys/bus/scsi/devices/*:*:*:*/ieee1394_id is changed from e.g.
0001041010004beb:0:0 to 0001041010004beb:00042c:0000.
The longer format fully conforms to object identifier sizes as per
SAM(-2...4) and reflects what the SAM target port identifier is meant to
contain: A Discovery ID allegedly specified by ISO/IEC 13213:1994 ---
however there is no such thing; the authors of SAM probably meant
Directory ID). Especially target nodes with multiple dynamically added
targets may use Directory IDs to persistently identify target ports.
The new format is independent of implementation details of nodemgr.
Thus the same ieee1394_id attribute format can be implemented in the new
firewire stack.
The ieee1394_id is typically used to create persistently named links in
/dev/disk/by-id.

The subsystem rwsem is not used by the driver core at all, so the use of
it in the ieee1394 code doesn't make any sense. They might possibly
want to use a local lock, but as most of these operations are already
protected by a local lock, it really doesn't look like it would be

This patch consolidates some bookkeeping for driver registering. It

that the owner of the driver is set, so we get a proper symlink

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.
