      firewire: cdev: add PHY pinging · cc550216
      Stefan Richter 提交于
      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.)

      firewire: cdev: add PHY packet reception · bf54e146
      Stefan Richter 提交于
      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.

      firewire: core: integrate software-forced bus resets with bus management · 02d37bed
      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.

      firewire: ohci: fix IR/IT context mask mixup · 4802f16d
      Stefan Richter 提交于
      This bug was present in firewire-ohci since day one:  The number of
      available isochronous receive DMA contexts was mixed up with that of
      available isochronous transmit DMA contexts.
      
      This is harmless on a few chips which offer the same number of contexts
      in both directions, but most chips nowadays implement only the standard
      minimum of 4 IR contexts, but 8 IT contexts.  If a user attempted to run
      a lot of IR contexts at once, results with more than four were therefore
      unpredictable.  I suppose the controller would simply refuse to start
      DMA of any unimplemented context.

      firewire: ohci: add module parameter to activate quirk fixes · 3e9cc2f3
      Stefan Richter 提交于
      This way, we can advise users of precompiled kernel packages to test
      existing quirk fixes on chips which have not been listed yet, without
      them having to build a kernel from source.
      
      Note, to use this feature on a machine with more than one controller,
      steps like these are necessary:
      # lspci | grep 1394
      # ls /sys/bus/pci/drivers/firewire_ohci/
      # echo -n "0000:03:02.0" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/firewire_ohci/unbind
      # echo 2 > /sys/module/firewire_ohci/parameters/quirks
      # echo -n "0000:03:02.0" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/firewire_ohci/bind
      # echo 0 > /sys/module/firewire_ohci/parameters/quirks
      
      The parameter can also be used to switch off quirk flags that were
      hardwired into firewire-ohci's quirks table.  Simply specify a non-zero
      quirks value but without any known flags, e.g. 0x100.

      firewire: remove incomplete Bus_Time CSR support · 168cf9af
      Stefan Richter 提交于
      The current implementation of Bus_Time read access was buggy since it
      did not ensure that Bus_Time.second_count_hi and second_count_lo came
      from the same 128 seconds period.
      Reported-by: NHåkan Johansson <f96hajo@chalmers.se>
      
      Instead of a fix, remove Bus_Time register support altogether.  The spec
      requires all cycle master capable nodes to implement this (all Linux
      nodes are cycle master capable) while it also says that it "may" be
      initialized by the bus manager or by the IRM standing in for a bus
      manager.  (Neither Linux' firewire-core nor ieee1394 nodemgr implement
      this.)
      
      Since we cannot rely on Bus_Time having been initialized by a bus
      manager, it is better to return an error instead of a nonsensical value
      on a read request to Bus_Time.
      
      Alternatively, we could fix the Bus_Time read integrity bug _and_
      implement (a) cycle master's write support of the register as well as
      (b) bus manager's Bus_Time initialization service, i.e. preservation of
      the Bus_Time when the cycle master node of a bus changes.  However, that
      would be quite some code for a feature that is unreliable to begin with
      and very likely unused in practice.

      firewire: get_cycle_timer optimization and cleanup · 4a9bde9b

      ohci:  Break out of the retry loop if too many attempts were necessary.
      This may theoretically happen if the chip is fatally defective or if the

      ejected.
      
      Also micro-optimize the loop by re-using the last two register reads in
      the next iteration, remove a questionable inline keyword, and shuffle a
      comment around.
      
      core:  ioctl_get_cycle_timer() is always called with interrupts on,
      therefore local_irq_save() can be replaced by local_irq_disable().
      Disabled local IRQs imply disabled preemption, hence preempt_disable()
      can be removed.

      firewire: ohci: retransmit isochronous transmit packets on cycle loss · 7f51a100
      Clemens Ladisch 提交于
      In isochronous transmit DMA descriptors, link the skip address pointer
      back to the descriptor itself.  When a cycle is lost, the controller
      will send the packet in the next cycle, instead of terminating the
      entire DMA program.
      
      There are two reasons for this:
      
      * This behaviour is compatible with the old IEEE1394 stack.  Old
        applications would not expect the DMA program to stop in this case.
      
      * Since the OHCI driver does not report any uncompleted packets, the
        context would stop silently; clients would not have any chance to
        detect and handle this error without a watchdog timer.
      Signed-off-by: NClemens Ladisch <clemens@ladisch.de>
      
      Pieter Palmers notes:
      
      "The reason I added this retry behavior to the old stack is because some
      cards now and then fail to send a packet (e.g. the o2micro card in my
      dell laptop).  I couldn't figure out why exactly this happens, my best
      guess is that the card cannot fetch the payload data on time.  This
      happens much more frequently when sending large packets, which leads me
      to suspect that there are some contention issues with the DMA that fills
      the transmit FIFO.
      
      In the old stack it was a pretty critical issue as it resulted in a
      freeze of the userspace application.
      
      The omission of a packet doesn't necessarily have to be an issue.  E.g.
      in IEC61883 streams the DBC field can be used to detect discontinuities
      in the stream.  So as long as the other side doesn't bail when no
      [packet] is present in a cycle, there is not really a problem.
      
      I'm not convinced though that retrying is the proper solution, but it is
      simple and effective for what it had to do.  And I think there are no
      reasons not to do it this way.  Userspace can still detect this by
      checking the cycle the descriptor was sent in."
