The source files of firewire-core, firewire-ohci, firewire-sbp2, i.e. "drivers/firewire/fw-*.c" are renamed to "drivers/firewire/core-*.c", "drivers/firewire/ohci.c", "drivers/firewire/sbp2.c". The old fw- prefix was redundant to the directory name. The new core- prefix distinguishes the files according to which driver they belong to. This change comes a little late, but still before further firewire drivers are added as anticipated RSN. Signed-off-by: NStefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

The three header files of firewire-core, i.e. "drivers/firewire/fw-device.h", "drivers/firewire/fw-topology.h", "drivers/firewire/fw-transaction.h", are replaced by "drivers/firewire/core.h", "include/linux/firewire.h". The latter includes everything which a firewire high-level driver (like firewire-sbp2) needs besides linux/firewire-constants.h, while core.h contains the rest which is needed by firewire-core itself and by low- level drivers (card drivers) like firewire-ohci. High-level drivers can now also reside outside of drivers/firewire without having to add drivers/firewire to the header file search path in makefiles. At least the firedtv driver will be such a driver. I also considered to spread the contents of core.h over several files, one for each .c file where the respective implementation resides. But it turned out that most core .c files will end up including most of the core .h files. Also, the combined core.h isn't unreasonably big, and it will lose more of its contents to linux/firewire.h anyway soon when more firewire drivers are added. (IP-over-1394, firedtv, and there are plans for one or two more.) Furthermore, fw-ohci.h is renamed to ohci.h. The name of core.h and ohci.h is chosen with regard to name changes of the .c files in a follow-up change. Signed-off-by: NStefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

According to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294391 - 3rd generation iPods need the "fix capacity" workaround after all (apparently they crash after the last sector was accessed), - 2nd generation iPods need the "128 kB maximum request size" workaround. Alas both iPod generations feature the same model ID in the config ROM, hence we can only define a shared quirks list entry for them. Luckily the fix capacity workaround did not show a negative effect in Jarod's tests with 2nd gen. iPod. A side note: Apple computers in target mode (or at least an x86 Mac mini) don't have firmware_version and model_id, hence none of the iPod quirks list entries is active for them.

1: There is a small race between queue_delayed_work() and its corresponding kref_get(). Do the kref_get first, and _put it again if the queue_delayed_work() failed, so there is no chance of the kref going to zero while the work is scheduled. 2: An SBP2_LOGOUT_REQUEST could be sent out with a login_id full of garbage. Initialize it to an invalid value so we can tell if we ever got a valid login_id. 3: The node ID and generation may have changed but the new values may not yet have been recorded in lu and tgt when the final logout is attempted.

This optimizes firewire-sbp2's device probe for the case that the local node and the SBP-2 node were discovered at the same time. In this case, fw-core's bus management work and fw-sbp2's login and SCSI probe work are scheduled in parallel (in the globally shared workqueue and in fw-sbp2's workqueue, respectively). The bus reset from fw-core may then disturb and extremely delay the login and SCSI probe because the latter fails with several command timeouts and retries and has to be retried from scratch. We avoid this particular situation of sbp2_login() and fw_card_bm_work() running in parallel by delaying the first sbp2_login() a little bit. This is meant to be a short-term fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=466679. In the long run, the SCSI probe, i.e. fw-sbp2's call of __scsi_add_device(), should be parallelized with sbp2_reconnect(). Problem reported and fix tested and confirmed by Alex Kanavin.

queuecommand() looked at the remote and local node IDs before it read the bus generation. The corresponding race with sbp2_reconnect updating these data was probably impossible to happen though because the current code blocks the SCSI layer during reconnection. However, better safe than sorry, especially if someone later improves the code to not block the SCSI layer. Signed-off-by: NStefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

1. We don't need to round the SBP-2 segment size limit down to a multiple of 4 kB (0xffff -> 0xf000). It is only necessary to ensure quadlet alignment (0xffff -> 0xfffc). 2. Use dma_set_max_seg_size() to tell the DMA mapping infrastructure and the block IO layer about the restriction. This way we can remove the size checks and segment splitting in the queuecommand path. This assumes that no other code in the firewire stack uses dma_map_sg() with conflicting requirements. It furthermore assumes that the controller device's platform actually allows us to set the segment size to our liking. Assert the latter with a BUG_ON(). 3. Also use blk_queue_max_segment_size() to tell the block IO layer about it. It cannot know it because our scsi_add_host() does not point to the FireWire controller's device.

Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER architecture does: This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423). I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread). So I CC'ed this to KVM camp. Comments are appreciated. A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added. If the pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it. If it's NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before. If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works with hot plugging). It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate dma_mapping_ops per device. The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA operations. So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per device. Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different dma_mapping_error functions. The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error. The patch is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in all the architecture. This patch: dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA operations. So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device. Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function. x86 IOMMUs use device argument.

- struct scsi_cmnd had a 16 bytes command buffer of its own. This is an unnecessary duplication and copy of request's cmd. It is probably left overs from the time that scsi_cmnd could function without a request attached. So clean that up. - Once above is done, few places, apart from scsi-ml, needed adjustments due to changing the data type of scsi_cmnd->cmnd. - Lots of drivers still use MAX_COMMAND_SIZE. So I have left that #define but equate it to BLK_MAX_CDB. The way I see it and is reflected in the patch below is. MAX_COMMAND_SIZE - means: The longest fixed-length (*) SCSI CDB as per the SCSI standard and is not related to the implementation. BLK_MAX_CDB. - The allocated space at the request level - I have audit all ISA drivers and made sure none use ->cmnd in a DMA Operation. Same audit was done by Andi Kleen. (*)fixed-length here means commands that their size can be determined by their opcode and the CDB does not carry a length specifier, (unlike the VARIABLE_LENGTH_CMD(0x7f) command). This is actually not exactly true and the SCSI standard also defines extended commands and vendor specific commands that can be bigger than 16 bytes. The kernel will support these using the same infrastructure used for VARLEN CDB's. So in effect MAX_COMMAND_SIZE means the maximum size command scsi-ml supports without specifying a cmd_len by ULD's Signed-off-by: NBoaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com> Signed-off-by: NJames Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>

When a device changes its configuration ROM, it announces this with a bus reset. firewire-core has to check which node initiated a bus reset and whether any unit directories went away or were added on this node. Tested with an IOI FWB-IDE01AB which has its link-on bit set if bus power is available but does not respond to ROM read requests if self power is off. This implements - recognition of the units if self power is switched on after fw-core gave up the initial attempt to read the config ROM, - shutdown of the units when self power is switched off. Also tested with a second PC running Linux/ieee1394. When the eth1394 driver is inserted and removed on that node, fw-core now notices the addition and removal of the IPv4 unit on the ieee1394 node.

Try to write dual-phase retry protocol limits to BUSY_TIMEOUT register. - The dual-phase retry protocol is optional to implement, and if not supported, writes to the dual-phase portion of the register will be ignored. We try to write the original 1394-1995 default here. - In the case of devices that are also SBP-3-compliant, all writes are ignored, as the register is read-only, but contains single-phase retry of 15, which is what we're trying to set for all SBP-2 device anyway, so this write attempt is safe and yields more consistent behavior for all devices. See section 8.3.2.3.5 of the 1394-1995 spec, section 6.2 of the SBP-2 spec, and section 6.4 of the SBP-3 spec for further details.

Per the SBP-2 specification, all SBP-2 target devices must have a BUSY_TIMEOUT register. Per the 1394-1995 specification, the retry_limt portion of the register should be set to 0x0 initially, and set on the target by a logged in initiator (i.e., a Linux host w/firewire controller(s)). Well, as it turns out, lots of devices these days have actually moved on to starting to implement SBP-3 compliance, which says that retry_limit should default to 0xf instead (yes, SBP-3 stomps directly on 1394-1995, oops). Prior to this change, the firewire driver stack didn't touch retry_limit, and any SBP-3 compliant device worked fine, while SBP-2 compliant ones were unable to retransmit when the host returned an ack_busy_X, which resulted in stalled out I/O, eventually causing the SCSI layer to give up and offline the device. The simple fix is for us to set retry_limit to 0xf in the register for all devices (which actually matches what the old ieee1394 stack did). Prior to this change, a hard disk behind an SBP-2 Prolific PL-3507 bridge chip would routinely encounter buffer I/O errors and wind up offlined by the SCSI layer. With this change, I've encountered zero I/O failures moving tens of GB of data around. Signed-off-by: NJarod Wilson <jwilson@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NStefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

While fw-sbp2 takes the necessary time to reconnect to a logical unit after bus reset, the SCSI core keeps sending new commands. They are all immediately completed with host busy status, and application clients or filesystems will break quickly. The SCSI device might even be taken offline: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9734 The only remedy seems to be to block the SCSI device until reconnect. Alas the SCSI core has no useful API to block only one logical unit i.e. the scsi_device, therefore we block the entire Scsi_Host. This currently corresponds to an SBP-2 target. In case of targets with multiple logical units, we need to satisfy the dependencies between logical units by carefully tracking the blocking state of the target and its units. We block all logical units of a target as soon as one of them needs to be blocked, and keep them blocked until all of them are ready to be unblocked. Furthermore, as the history of the old sbp2 driver has shown, the scsi_block_requests() API is a minefield with high potential of deadlocks. We therefore take extra measures to keep logical units unblocked during __scsi_add_device() and during shutdown. This avoids I/O errors during reconnect in many but alas not in all cases. There may still be errors after a re-login had to be performed. Also, some bridges have been seen to cease fetching management ORBs if I/O went on up until a bus reset. In these cases, all management ORBs time out after mgt_orb_timeout. The old sbp2 driver is less vulnerable or maybe not vulnerable to this, for as yet unknown reasons.

fw-sbp2 is unable to reconnect while performing __scsi_add_device because there is only a single workqueue thread context available for both at the moment. This should be fixed eventually. An actual failure of __scsi_add_device is easy to handle, but an incomplete execution of __scsi_add_device with an sdev returned would remain undetected and leave the SBP-2 target unusable. Therefore we use a workaround: If there was a bus reset during __scsi_add_device (i.e. during the SCSI probe), we remove the new sdev immediately, log out, and attempt login and SCSI probe again.
