      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.

      firewire: core: align driver match with modalias · fe43d6d9
      Stefan Richter 提交于
      The driver match strategy was:
        - Match vendor/model/specifier/version of the unit directory.
        - If that was a miss, match vendor from the root directory and
          model/specifier/version of the unit directory.
      
      This was inconsistent with how the modalias string was constructed
      until recently (take vendor/model from root directory and specifier/
      version from unit directory).  It was also inconsistent with how it is
      done since the parent commit:
        - Use vendor/model/specifier/version of the unit directory if possible,
        - fall back to one or more of vendor/model/specifier/version from the
          root directory depending on which ones are not present at the unit
          directory.
      
      Fix this inconsistency by sharing the ROM scanner function between
      modalias printer function and driver match function.

      firewire: core: fix Model_ID in modalias · 5ae73518
      Stefan Richter 提交于
      The modalias string of devices that represent units on a FireWire node
      did not show Module_ID entries within unit directories.  This was
      because firewire-core searched only the root directory of the
      configuration ROM for a Model_ID entry.
      
      We now search first the root directory, then the unit directory.  IOW
      honor a unit directory's Model_ID if present, otherwise fall back to the
      root directory's model ID (if present).
      
      Furthermore, apply the same change to Vendor_ID.  This had the same
      issue but it was less apparent because most devices provide Vendor_ID
      only in the root directory.
      
      And finally, also use this strategy for the remaining two IDs in the
      modalias, Specifier_ID and Version.  It does not actually make sense to
      look for them elsewhere than in the unit directory because they are
      mandatory there.  However, a uniform search order simplifies the
      implementation and has no adverse affect in practice.
      
      Side notes:
        - The older counterpart of this, nodemgr.c of ieee1394, looked for
          Vendor_ID first in the root directory, then in the unit directory,
          and for Model_ID only in the unit directory.
        - There is a single mainline driver which requires Vendor_ID and
          Model_ID --- the firedtv driver.  This one worked because FireDTVs
          provide Vendor_ID in the root directory and Model_ID identically in
          root directory and unit directory.
        - Apart from firedtv, there are currently no drivers known to me
          (including userspace drivers) that look at the Vendor_ID or Model_ID
          of the modalias.

      Driver core: create lock/unlock functions for struct device · 8e9394ce
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      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.

      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.

      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 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.

      The Panasonic AG-DV2500 tape deck contains an invalid entry in its
      configuration ROM root directory:  A leaf pointer with the undefined key
      ID 0 and an offset that points way out of the standard config ROM area.
      This caused firewire-core to dismiss the device with the generic log
      message "giving up on config rom for node id...", after which it was of
      course impossible to access the tape deck with dvgrab or any other
      program.  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449252#c29
      
      The fix is to simply ignore this invalid ROM entry and proceed to read
      the valid rest of the ROM.  There is a catch though:  When the kernel
      later iterates over the ROM, it would be nasty having to check again for
      such too large ROM offsets.  Therefore we manipulate the defective or
      unsupported ROM entry to become a harmless immediate entry that won't
      have any side effects later (an entry with the value 0x00000000).

      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.

      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
      get_cycle_timer ioctl was performed after a CardBus controller was
      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.

      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."

      firewire: net: fix panic in fwnet_write_complete · 110f82d7
      Stefan Richter 提交于
      In the transmit path of firewire-net (IPv4 over 1394), the following
      race condition may occur:
        - The networking soft IRQ inserts a datagram into the 1394 async
          request transmit DMA.
        - The 1394 async transmit completion tasklet runs to finish cleaning
          up (unlink datagram from list of pending ones, release skb and
          outbound 1394 transaction object) --- before the networking soft IRQ
          had a chance to proceed and add the datagram to the list of pending
          datagrams.
      
      This caused a panic in the 1394 async transmit completion tasklet when
      it dereferenced unitialized list heads:
      http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15077
      
      The fix is to add checks in the tx soft IRQ and in the tasklet to
      determine which of these two is the last referrer to the transaction
      object.  Then handle the cleanup of the object by the last referrer
      rather than assuming that the tasklet is always the last one.
      
      There is another similar race:  Between said tasklet and fwnet_close,
      i.e. at ifdown.  However, that race is much less likely to occur in
      practice and shall be fixed in a separate update.

      firewire: core: fix use-after-free regression in FCP handler · 281e2032
      Stefan Richter 提交于
      Commit db5d247a "firewire: fix use of multiple AV/C devices, allow
      multiple FCP listeners" introduced a regression into 2.6.33-rc3:
      The core freed payloads of incoming requests to FCP_Request or
      FCP_Response before a userspace driver accessed them.
      
      We need to copy such payloads for each registered userspace client
      and free the copies according to the lifetime rules of non-FCP client
      request resources.
      
      (This could possibly be optimized by reference counts instead of
      copies.)
      
      The presently only kernelspace driver which listens for FCP requests,
      firedtv, was not affected because it already copies FCP frames into an
      own buffer before returning to firewire-core's FCP handler dispatcher.

      firewire: core: add_descriptor size check · e300839d
      Stefan Richter 提交于
      Presently, firewire-core only checks whether descriptors that are to be
      added by userspace drivers to the local node's config ROM do not exceed
      a size of 256 quadlets.  However, the sum of the bare minimum ROM plus
      all descriptors (from firewire-core, from firewire-net, from userspace)
      must not exceed 256 quadlets.
      
      Otherwise, the bounds of a statically allocated buffer will be
      overwritten.  If the kernel survives that, firewire-core will
      subsequently be unable to parse the local node's config ROM.
      
      (Note, userspace drivers can add descriptors only through device files
      of local nodes.  These are usually only accessible by root, unlike
      device files of remote nodes which may be accessible to lesser
      privileged users.)
      
      Therefore add a test which takes the actual present and required ROM
      size into account for all descriptors of kernelspace and userspace
      drivers.

      firewire, ieee1394: update Kconfig help · 5d7db049
      Stefan Richter 提交于
      Update the Kconfig help texts of both stacks to encourage a general move
      from the older to the newer drivers.  However, do not label ieee1394 as
      "Obsolete" yet, as the newer drivers have not been deployed as default
      stack in the majority of Linux distributions yet, and those who start
      doing so now may still want to install the old drivers as fallback for
      unforeseen issues.
      
      Since Linux 2.6.32, FireWire audio devices can be driven by the newer
      firewire driver stack too, hence remove an outdated comment about audio
      devices.  Also remove comments about library versions since the 2nd
      generation of libraw1394 and libdc1394 is now in common use; details on
      library versions can be read at the wiki link from the help texts.

      firewire: ohci: always use packet-per-buffer mode for isochronous reception · 090699c0
      Stefan Richter 提交于
      This is a minimal change meant for the short term:  Never set the
      ohci->use_dualbuffer flag to true.
      
      There are two reasons to do so:
      
        - Packet-per-buffer mode and dual-buffer mode do not behave the same
          under certain circumstances, notably if several packets are covered
          by a single fw_cdev_iso_packet descriptor.
          http://marc.info/?l=linux1394-devel&m=124965653718313
          Therefore the driver stack should not silently choose one or the
          other mode but should leave the choice to the high-level driver
          (regardless if kernel driver or userspace driver).  Or simply always
          only offer packet-per-buffer mode, since a considerable number of
          controllers, even current ones, does not offer dual-buffer support.
      
        - Even under circumstances where packet-per-buffer mode and
          dual-buffer mode behave exactly the same --- notably when used
          through libraw1394, libdc1394, as well as the current two kernel
          drivers which use isochronous reception (firewire-net and firedtv)
          --- we are still faced with the problem that several OHCI 1.1
          controllers have bugs in dual-buffer mode.  Although it looks like
          we have identified most of those buggy controllers by now, we
          cannot be quite sure about that.
      
      So, use packet-per-buffer by default from now on.  This change should
      be followed up by a more complete solution:  Either extend the
      in-kernel API and the userspace ABI by a choice between the two IR modes
      or remove all dual-buffer related code from firewire-ohci.
