2012-03-18firewire: allow explicit flushing of iso packet completionsClemens Ladisch
Extend the kernel and userspace APIs to allow reporting all currently completed isochronous packets, even if the next interrupt packet has not yet been reached. This is required to determine the status of the packets at the end of a paused or stopped stream, and useful for more precise synchronization of audio streams.

2012-03-18firewire: prevent dropping of completed iso packet header dataClemens Ladisch
The buffer for the header data of completed iso packets has a fixed size, so it is possible to configure a stream with a big interval between interrupt packets or with big headers so that this buffer would overflow. Previously, ohci.c would drop any data that would not fit, but this could make unsuspecting applications believe that fewer than the actual number of packets have completed. Instead of dropping data, add calls to flush_iso_completion() so that there are as many events as needed to report all of the data.

2011-07-16firewire: cdev: ABI documentation enhancementsStefan Richter
Add overview documentation in Documentation/ABI/stable/firewire-cdev. Improve the inline reference documentation in firewire-cdev.h: - Add /* available since kernel... */ comments to event numbers consistent with the comments on ioctl numbers. - Shorten some documentation on an event and an ioctl that are less interesting to current programming because there are newer preferable variants. - Spell Configuration ROM (name of an IEEE 1212 register) in upper case. - Move the dummy FW_CDEV_VERSION out of the reader's field of vision. We should remove it from the header next year or so. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
2011-07-16firewire: cdev: prevent race between first get_info ioctl and bus reset ↵Stefan Richter
event queuing Between open(2) of a /dev/fw* and the first FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_INFO ioctl(2) on it, the kernel already queues FW_CDEV_EVENT_BUS_RESET events to be read(2) by the client. The get_info ioctl is practically always issued right away after open, hence this condition only occurs if the client opens during a bus reset, especially during a rapid series of bus resets. The problem with this condition is twofold: - These bus reset events carry the (as yet undocumented) @closure value of 0. But it is not the kernel's place to choose closures; they are privat to the client. E.g., this 0 value forced from the kernel makes it unsafe for clients to dereference it as a pointer to a closure object without NULL pointer check. - It is impossible for clients to determine the relative order of bus reset events from get_info ioctl(2) versus those from read(2), except in one way: By comparison of closure values. Again, such a procedure imposes complexity on clients and reduces freedom in use of the bus reset closure. So, change the ABI to suppress queuing of bus reset events before the first FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_INFO ioctl was issued by the client. Note, this ABI change cannot be version-controlled. The kernel cannot distinguish old from new clients before the first FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_INFO ioctl. We will try to back-merge this change into currently maintained stable/ longterm series, and we only document the new behaviour. The old behavior is now considered a kernel bug, which it basically is. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de> Cc: <stable@kernel.org>

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>
2010-07-23firewire: 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: cdev: add PHY pingingStefan Richter
This extends the FW_CDEV_IOC_SEND_PHY_PACKET ioctl() for /dev/fw* to be useful for ping time measurements. One application for it would be gap count optimization in userspace that is based on ping times rather than hop count. (The latter is implemented in firewire-core itself but is not applicable to beta PHYs that act as repeater.) Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
2010-07-23firewire: cdev: add PHY packet receptionStefan Richter
Add an FW_CDEV_IOC_RECEIVE_PHY_PACKETS ioctl() and FW_CDEV_EVENT_PHY_PACKET_RECEIVED poll()/read() event for /dev/fw*. This can be used to get information from remote PHYs by remote access PHY packets. This is also the 2nd half of the functionality (the receive part) to support a userspace implementation of a VersaPHY transaction layer. Safety considerations: - PHY packets are generally broadcasts, hence some kind of elevated privileges should be required of a process to be able to listen in on PHY packets. This implementation assumes that a process that is allowed to open the /dev/fw* of a local node does have this privilege. There was an inconclusive discussion about introducing POSIX capabilities as a means to check for user privileges for these kinds of operations. Other limitations: - PHY packet reception may be switched on by ioctl() but cannot be switched off again. It would be trivial to provide an off switch, but this is not worth the code. The client should simply close() the fd then, or just ignore further events. - For sake of simplicity of API and kernel-side implementation, no filter per packet content is provided.

2010-07-23firewire: cdev: add PHY packet transmissionStefan Richter
Add an FW_CDEV_IOC_SEND_PHY_PACKET ioctl() for /dev/fw* which can be used to implement bus management related functionality in userspace. This is also half of the functionality (the transmit part) that is needed to support a userspace implementation of a VersaPHY transaction layer. Safety considerations: - PHY packets are generally broadcasts and may have interesting effects on PHYs and the bus, e.g. make asynchronous arbitration impossible due to too low gap count. Hence some kind of elevated privileges should be required of a process to be able to send PHY packets. This implementation assumes that a process that is allowed to open the /dev/fw* of a local node does have this privilege. There was an inconclusive discussion about introducing POSIX capabilities as a means to check for user privileges for these kinds of operations. - The kernel does not check integrity of the supplied packet data. That would be far too much code, considering the many kinds of PHY packets. A process which got the privilege to send these packets is trusted to do it correctly. Just like with the other "send packet" ioctls, a non-blocking API is chosen; i.e. the ioctl may return even before AT DMA started. After transmission, an event for poll()/read() is enqueued. Most users are going to need a blocking API, but a blocking userspace wrapper is easy to implement, and the second of the two existing libraw1394 calls raw1394_phy_packet_write() and raw1394_start_phy_packet_write() can be better supported that way.

Bus resets: - Note that FW_CDEV_IOC_INITIATE_BUS_RESET is nonblocking and that the client is not required to observe a grace period since kernels 2.6.36+ will enforce it now (commit 02d37bed). - The possible values of fw_cdev_initiate_bus_reset.type are listed in the kerneldoc comment already. - Clarify that an application that uses FW_CDEV_IOC_ADD_DESCRIPTOR and FW_CDEV_IOC_REMOVE_DESCRIPTOR does not have to issue a bus reset.

2010-06-20firewire: cdev: fix ABI for FCP and address range mapping, add ↵Stefan Richter
fw_cdev_event_request2 The problem: A target-like userspace driver, e.g. AV/C target or SBP-2/3 target, needs to be able to act as responder and requester. In the latter role, it needs to send requests to nods from which it received requests. This is currently impossible because fw_cdev_event_request lacks information about sender node ID. Reported-by: Jay Fenlason <fenlason@redhat.com> Libffado + libraw1394 + firewire-core is currently unable to drive two or more audio devices on the same bus. Reported-by: Arnold Krille <arnold@arnoldarts.de> This is because libffado requires destination node ID of FCP requests and sender node ID of FCP responses to match. It even prohibits libffado from working with a bus on which libraw1394 opens a /dev/fw* as default ioctl device that does not correspond with the audio device. This is because libraw1394 does not receive the sender node ID from the kernel. Moreover, fw_cdev_event_request makes it impossible to tell unicast and broadcast write requests apart. The fix: Add a replacement of struct fw_cdev_event_request request, boringly called struct fw_cdev_event_request2. The new event will be sent to a userspace client instead of the old one if the client claims compatibility with <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI version 4 or later. libraw1394 needs to be extended to make use of the new event, in order to properly support libffado and other FCP or address range mapping users who require correct sender node IDs. Further notes: While we are at it, change back the range of possible values of fw_cdev_event_request.tcode to 0x0...0xb like in ABI version <= 3. The preceding change "firewire: expose extended tcode of incoming lock requests to (userspace) drivers" expanded it to 0x0...0x17 which could catch sloppily coded clients by surprise. The extended range of codes is only used in the new fw_cdev_event_request2.tcode. Jay and I also suggested an alternative approach to fix the ABI for incoming requests: Add an FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_REQUEST_INFO ioctl which can be called after reception of an fw_cdev_event_request, before issuing of the closing FW_CDEV_IOC_SEND_RESPONSE ioctl. The new ioctl would reveal the vital information about a request that fw_cdev_event_request lacks. Jay showed an implementation of this approach. The former event approach adds 27 LOC of rather trivial code to core-cdev.c, the ioctl approach 34 LOC, some of which is nontrivial. The ioctl approach would certainly also add more LOC to userspace programs which require the expanded information on inbound requests. This approach is probably only on the lighter-weight side in case of clients that want to be compatible with kernels that lack the new capability, like libraw1394. However, the code to be added to such libraw1394-like clients in case of the event approach is a straight- forward additional switch () case in its event handler.

2010-06-20firewire: cdev: freeze FW_CDEV_VERSION due to libraw1394 bugStefan Richter
libraw1394 v2.0.0...v2.0.5 takes FW_CDEV_VERSION from an externally installed header file and uses it to declare its own implementation level in FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_INFO. This is wrong; it should set the real version for which it was actually written. If we add features to the kernel ABI that require the kernel to check a client's implementation level, we can not trust the client version if it was set from FW_CDEV_VERSION. Hence freeze FW_CDEV_VERSION at the current value (no damage has been done yet), clearly document FW_CDEV_VERSION as a dummy version and what clients are expected to do with fw_cdev_get_info.version, and use a new defined constant (which is not placed into the exported header file) as kernel implementation level. Note, in order to check in client program source code which features are present in an externally installed linux/firewire-cdev.h, use preprocessor directives like #ifdef FW_CDEV_IOC_ALLOCATE_ISO_RESOURCE or #ifdef FW_CDEV_EVENT_ISO_RESOURCE_ALLOCATED instead of a check of FW_CDEV_VERSION.

2009-12-29firewire: fix use of multiple AV/C devices, allow multiple FCP listenersClemens Ladisch
Control of more than one AV/C device at once --- e.g. camcorders, tape decks, audio devices, TV tuners --- failed or worked only unreliably, depending on driver implementation. This affected kernelspace and userspace drivers alike and was caused by firewire-core's inability to accept multiple registrations of FCP listeners. The fix allows multiple address handlers to be registered for the FCP command and response registers. When a request for these registers is received, all handlers are invoked, and the Firewire response is generated by the core and not by any handler. The cdev API does not change, i.e., userspace is still expected to send a response for FCP requests; this response is silently ignored.

2009-03-24firewire: cdev: secure add_descriptor ioctlStefan Richter
The access permissions and ownership or ACL of /dev/fw* character device files will typically be set based on the device type of the respective nodes, as obtained by firewire-core from descriptors in the device's configuration ROM. An example policy is to deny write permission by default but grant write permission to files of AV/C video and audio devices and IIDC video devices. The FW_CDEV_IOC_ADD_DESCRIPTOR ioctl could be used to partly subvert such a policy: Find a device file with relaxed permissions, use the ioctl to add a descriptor with AV/C marker to the local node's ROM, thus gain access to the local node's character device file. (This is only possible if there are udev scripts installed which actively relax permissions for known device types and if there is a device of such a type connected.) Accessibility of the local node's device file is relevant to host security if the host contains two or more IEEE 1394 link layer controllers which are plugged into a single bus. Therefore change the ABI to deny FW_CDEV_IOC_ADD_DESCRIPTOR if the file belongs to a remote node. (This change has no impact on known implementers of the ABI: None of them uses the ioctl yet.) Also clarify the documentation: The ioctl affects all local nodes, not just one local node. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

Some fixes: - Remove stale documentation. - Fix a != vs. == thinko that got in the way of channel management. - Try bandwidth deallocation even if channel deallocation failed. A simplification: - fw_cdev_allocate_iso_resource.channels is now ordered like libdc1394's dc1394_iso_allocate_channel() channels_allowed argument. By the way, I looked closer at cards from NEC, TI, and VIA, and noticed that they all don't implement IEEE 1394a behaviour which is meant to deviate from IEEE 1212's notion of lock compare-swap. This means that we have to do two lock transactions instead of one in many cases where one transaction would already succeed on a fully 1394a compliant IRM.

While the speed of asynchronous transactions is automatically chosen by the kernel, the speed of isochronous streams has to be chosen by the initiating client. In case of 1394a bus topologies, the maximum possible speed could be figured out with some effort by evaluation of the remote node's link speed field in the config ROM, the local node's link speed field, and the PHY speeds and topologic information in the local node's or IRM's topology map CSR. However, this does not work in case of 1394b buses. Hence add an ioctl to export the maximum speed which the kernel already determined. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

Only the part of the ABI which enables auto-reallocation and auto-deallocation is included here. This implements ioctls for kernel-assisted allocation of isochronous channels and isochronous bandwidth. The benefits are: - The client does not have to have write access to the /dev/fw* device corresponding to the IRM. - The client does not have to perform reallocation after bus resets. - Channel and bandwidth are deallocated by the kernel if the file is closed before the client deallocated the resources. Thus resources are released even if the client crashes. It is anticipated that future in-kernel code (firewire-core IRM code; the firewire port of firedtv), will use the fw-iso.c portions of this code too.
