      firewire: cdev: prevent race between first get_info ioctl and bus reset event queuing · 93b37905
      Stefan Richter 提交于
      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.

      So let's correct this in the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI while it is
      still young, relative to distributor adoption.
      
      Side note:  We return -ENOTTY not only on _IOC_TYPE or _IOC_NR mismatch,
      but also on _IOC_SIZE mismatch.  An ioctl with an unsupported size of
      argument structure can be seen as an unsupported version of that ioctl.

      firewire: sbp2: parallelize login, reconnect, logout · 105e53f8
      Stefan Richter 提交于
      The struct sbp2_logical_unit.work items can all be executed in parallel
      but are not reentrant.  Furthermore, reconnect or re-login work must be
      executed in a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue.
      
      Hence replace the old single-threaded firewire-sbp2 workqueue by a
      concurrency-managed but non-reentrant workqueue with rescuer.
      firewire-core already maintains one, hence use this one.
      
      In earlier versions of this change, I observed occasional failures of
      parallel INQUIRY to an Initio INIC-2430 FireWire 800 to dual IDE bridge.
      More testing indicates that parallel INQUIRY is not actually a problem,
      but too quick successions of logout and login + INQUIRY, e.g. a quick
      sequence of cable plugout and plugin, can result in failed INQUIRY.
      This does not seem to be something that should or could be addressed by
      serialization.
      
      Another dual-LU device to which I currently have access to, an
      OXUF924DSB FireWire 800 to dual SATA bridge with firmware from MacPower,
      has been successfully tested with this too.
      
      This change is beneficial to environments with two or more FireWire
      storage devices, especially if they are located on the same bus.
      Management tasks that should be performed as soon and as quickly as
      possible, especially reconnect, are no longer held up by tasks on other
      devices that may take a long time, especially login with INQUIRY and sd
      or sr driver probe.

        - does not sleep for long or not at all
        - is scheduled via fw_schedule_bus_reset() by
            - firewire-ohci's pci_probe method

            - userspace drivers which use the bus reset ioctl
            - itself if the last reset happened less than 2 seconds ago
      
      fw_card.bm_work:
        - performs bus management duties
        - usually does not (but may in corner cases) sleep for long
        - is scheduled via fw_schedule_bm_work() by
            - firewire-ohci's self-ID-complete IRQ handler tasklet
            - firewire-core's fw_device.work instances whenever the root node
              device was (successfully or unsuccessfully) discovered,
      	refreshed, or rediscovered
            - itself in case of resource allocation failures or in order to
              obey the 125ms bus manager arbitration interval
      
      fw_device.work:
        - performs node probe, update, shutdown, revival, removal; including
          kernel driver probe, update, shutdown and bus reset notification to
          userspace drivers
        - usually sleeps moderately long, in corner cases very long
        - is scheduled by

            - itself in case of resource allocation if necessary to obey the
              1000ms reallocation period after bus reset
      
      fw_card.br_work instances should not, and instances of the others must
      not, be executed in parallel by multiple CPUs -- but were not protected
      against that.  Hence allocate a non-reentrant workqueue for them.
      
      fw_device.work may be used in the memory reclaim path in case of SBP-2
      device updates.  Hence we need a workqueue with rescuer and cannot use
      system_nrt_wq.

      firewire: optimize iso queueing by setting wake only after the last packet · 13882a82
      Clemens Ladisch 提交于
      When queueing iso packets, the run time is dominated by the two
      MMIO accesses that set the DMA context's wake bit.  Because most
      drivers submit packets in batches, we can save much time by
      removing all but the last wakeup.
      
      The internal kernel API is changed to require a call to
      fw_iso_context_queue_flush() after a batch of queued packets.
      The user space API does not change, so one call to
      FW_CDEV_IOC_QUEUE_ISO must specify multiple packets to take
      advantage of this optimization.
      
      In my measurements, this patch reduces the time needed to queue
      fifty skip packets from userspace to one sixth on a 2.5 GHz CPU,
      or to one third at 800 MHz.

      firewire: octlet AT payloads can be stack-allocated · f30e6d3e
      Stefan Richter 提交于
      We do not need slab allocations anymore in order to satisfy
      streaming DMA mapping constraints, thanks to commit da28947e
      "firewire: ohci: avoid separate DMA mapping for small AT payloads".
      
      (Besides, the slab-allocated buffers that firewire-core, firewire-sbp2,
      and firedtv used to provide for 8-byte write and lock requests were
      still not fully portable since they crossed cacheline boundaries or
      shared a cacheline with unrelated CPU-accessed data.  snd-firewire-lib
      got this aspect right by using an extra kmalloc/ kfree just for the
      8-byte transaction buffer.)
      
      This change replaces kmalloc'ed lock transaction scratch buffers in
      firewire-core, firedtv, and snd-firewire-lib by local stack allocations.
      Perhaps the most notable result of the change is simpler locking because
      there is no need to serialize usages of preallocated per-device buffers
      anymore.  Also, allocations and deallocations are simpler.

      firewire: add isochronous multichannel reception · 872e330e
      Stefan Richter 提交于
      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.

      firewire: cdev: improve FW_CDEV_IOC_ALLOCATE · 8e2b2b46
      Stefan Richter 提交于
      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.

      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.

      Stefan Richter 提交于
      Add an FW_CDEV_IOC_SEND_PHY_PACKET ioctl() for /dev/fw* which can be

      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.

      Stefan Richter 提交于
      Bus resets which are triggered
        - by the kernel drivers after updates of the local nodes' config ROM,
        - by userspace software via ioctl
      shall be deferred until after >=2 seconds after the last bus reset.
      
      If multiple modifications of the local nodes' config ROM happen in a row,
      only a single bus reset should happen after them.
      
      When the local node's link goes from inactive to active or vice versa,
      and at the two occasions of bus resets mentioned above --- and if the
      current gap count differs from 63 --- the bus reset should be preceded
      by a PHY configuration packet that reaffirms the gap count.  Otherwise a
      bus manager would have to reset the bus again right after that.
      
      This is necessary to promote bus stability, e.g. leave grace periods for
      allocations and reallocations of isochronous channels and bandwidth,
      SBP-2 reconnections etc.; see IEEE 1394 clause 8.2.1.
      
      This change implements all of the above by moving bus reset initiation
      into a delayed work (except for bus resets which are triggered by the
      bus manager workqueue job and are performed there immediately).  It
      comes with a necessary addition to the card driver methods that allows
      to get the current gap count from PHY registers.

      I prefer it over including the userspace API header into the kernelspace
      API header and defining kernelspace API constants from userspace API
      constants.  Nor do I want to expose the kernelspace constants in one of
      the two firewire headers that are exported to userland since this only
      concerns the core-cdev.c implementation.

      firewire: cdev: check write quadlet request length to avoid buffer overflow · a8e93f3d
      Clemens Ladisch 提交于
      Check that the data length of a write quadlet request actually is large
      enough for a quadlet.  Otherwise, fw_fill_request could access the four
      bytes after the end of the outbound_transaction_event structure.
      Signed-off-by: NClemens Ladisch <clemens@ladisch.de>
      
      Modification of Clemens' change:  Consolidate the check into
      init_request() which is used by the affected ioctl_send_request() and
      ioctl_send_broadcast_request() and the unaffected
      ioctl_send_stream_packet(), to save a few lines of code.
      
      Note, since struct outbound_transaction_event *e is slab-allocated, such
      an out-of-bounds access won't hit unallocated memory but may result in a
      (virtually impossible to exploit) information disclosure.

      firewire: cdev: fix ABI for FCP and address range mapping, add fw_cdev_event_request2 · e205597d
      Stefan Richter 提交于
      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: NJay Fenlason <fenlason@redhat.com>
      
      Libffado + libraw1394 + firewire-core is currently unable to drive two
      or more audio devices on the same bus.
      Reported-by: NArnold 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.

      firewire: cdev: freeze FW_CDEV_VERSION due to libraw1394 bug · 604f4516
      Stefan Richter 提交于
      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.

      firewire: cdev: count references of cards during inbound transactions · 0244f573
      Stefan Richter 提交于
      If a request comes in to an address range managed by a userspace driver
      i.e. <linux/firewire-cdev.h> client, the card instance of request and
      response may differ from the card instance of the client device.
      Therefore we need to take a reference of the card until the response was
      sent.
      
      I thought about putting the reference counting into core-transaction.c,
      but the various high-level drivers besides cdev clients (firewire-net,
      firewire-sbp2, firedtv) use the card pointer in their fw_address_handler
      address_callback method only to look up devices of which they already
      hold the necessary references.  So this seems to be a specific
      firewire-cdev issue which is better addressed locally.
      
      We do not need the reference
        - in case of FCP_REQUEST or FCP_RESPONSE requests because then the
          firewire-core will send the split transaction response for us
          already in the context of the request handler,
        - if it is the same card as the client device's because we hold a
          card reference indirectly via teh client->device reference.
      To keep things simple, we take the reference nevertheless.

      While termination of inbound transcations at card removal could be
      implemented, it is IMO not worth the effort.  Currently, the effect of
      holding a reference of a card that has been removed is to block the
      process that called the pci_remove of the card.  This is
        - either a user process ran by root.  Root can find and kill processes
          that have /dev/fw* open, if desired.
        - a kernel thread (which one?) in case of hot removal of a PCCard or
          ExpressCard.
      The latter case could be a problem indeed.  firewire-core's card
      shutdown and card release should probably be improved not to block in
      shutdown, just to defer freeing of memory until release.
      
      This is not a new problem though; the same already always happens with
      the client->device->card without the need of inbound transactions or
      other special conditions involved, other than the client not closing the
      file.

      firewire: cdev: fix responses to nodes at different card · 08bd34c9
      Jay Fenlason 提交于
      My box has two firewire cards in it: card0 and card1.
      My application opens /dev/fw0 (card 0) and allocates an address space.
      The core makes the address space available on both cards.
      Along comes the remote device, which sends a READ_QUADLET_REQUEST to
      card1.  The request gets passed up to my application, which calls
      ioctl_send_response().
      
      ioctl_send_response() then calls fw_send_response() with card0,
      because that's the card it's bound to.
      Card0's driver drops the response, because it isn't part of
      a transaction that it has outstanding.
      
      So in core-cdev: handle_request(), we need to stash the
      card of the inbound request in the struct inbound_transaction_resource and
      use that card to send the response to.
      
      The hard part will be refcounting the card correctly
      so it can't get deallocated while we hold a pointer to it.
      
      Here's a trivial patch, which does not do the card refcounting, but at
      least demonstrates what the problem is.
      
      Note that we can't depend on the fact that the core-cdev:client
      structure holds a card open, because in this case the card it holds
      open is not the card the request came in on.
      
      ..and there's no way for the core to tell cdev "this card is gone,
      kill any inbound transactions on it", while cdev holds the transaction
      open until userspace issues a SEND_RESPONSE ioctl, which may be a very,
      very long time.  But when it does, it calls fw_send_response(), which
      will dereference the card...
      
      So how unhappy are we about userspace potentially holding a fw_card
      open forever?

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.
