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>

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>

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. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de> Cc: <stable@kernel.org>

The software reset in firewire-ohci's pci_remove does not have a great prospect of success if the card was already physically removed at this point. So let's skip the 500 ms that were spent in retries here. Also, replace a defined constant by its open-coded value. This is not a constant from a specification but an arbitrarily chosen retry limit. It was only used in this single place. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

Detect and handle ejection of FireWire CardBus cards in PHY register accesses: - The last attempt of firewire-core to reset the bus during shutdown caused a spurious "firewire_ohci: failed to write phy reg" error message in the log. Skip this message as well as the prior retry loop that needlessly took 100 milliseconds. - In the unlikely case that a PHY register was read right after card ejection, a bogus value was obtained and possibly acted upon. Instead, fail the read attempt. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

Stopping an isochronous reception DMA context takes two loop iterations in context_stop on several controllers (JMicron, NEC, VIA). But there is no extra delay necessary between these two reg_read trials; the MMIO reads themselves are slow enough. Hence bring back the behavior from before commit dd6254e5 "firewire: ohci: remove superfluous posted write flushes" on these controllers by means of an "if (i)" condition. Isochronous context stop is performed in preemptible contexts (and only rarely), hence this change is of little impact. (Besides, Agere and TI controllers always, or almost always, have the context stopped already at the first ContextControl read.) More important is asynchronous transmit context stop, which is performed while local interrupts are disabled (on the two AT DMAs in bus_reset_tasklet, i.e. after a self-ID-complete event). In my experience with several controllers, tested with a usermode AT-request transmitter as well as with FTP transmission over firewire-net, the AT contexts were luckily already stopped at the first ContextControl read, i.e. never required another MMIO read let alone mdelay. A possible explanation for this is that the controllers which I tested perhaps stop AT DMA before they perform the self-ID reception DMA. But we cannot be sure about that and should keep the interrupts-disabled busy loop as short as possible. Hence, query the ContextControl register in 1000 udelay(10) intervals instead of 10 udelay(1000) intervals. I understand from an estimation by Clemens Ladisch that stopping a busy DMA context should take microseconds or at worst tens of microseconds, not milliseconds.

The call to flush_writes() in context_stop() is superfluous because another register read is done immediately afterwards. The call to flush_writes() in ar_context_run() does not need to be done individually for each AR context, so move it to ohci_enable(). This also makes ohci_enable() clearer because it no longer depends on a side effect of ar_context_run() to flush its own register writes. Finally, the setting of a context's wake bit does not need to be flushed because neither the driver logic nor the API require the CPU to wait for this action. This removes the last MMIO reads from the packet queueing code paths. Signed-off-by: Clemens Ladisch <clemens@ladisch.de> Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

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.

We do not need slab allocations for ORB pointer write transactions 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-sbp2 used to provide for 8-byte write requests were still not fully portable since they shared a cacheline with unrelated CPU-accessed data.)

firewire-sbp2 already takes care for internal serialization where required (ORB list accesses), and it does not use cmd->serial_number internally. Hence it is safe to not grab the shost lock around queuecommand. While we are at housekeeping, drop a redundant struct member: sbp2_command_orb.done is set once in a hot path and dereferenced once in a hot path. We can as well dereference sbp2_command_orb.cmd->scsi_done instead. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

firewire-core manages the following types of work items: fw_card.br_work: - resets the bus on a card and possibly sends a PHY packet before that - does not sleep for long or not at all - is scheduled via fw_schedule_bus_reset() by - firewire-ohci's pci_probe method - firewire-ohci's set_config_rom method, called by kernelspace protocol drivers and userspace drivers which add/remove Configuration ROM descriptors - 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 - firewire-ohci's self-ID-complete IRQ handler tasklet via the core's fw_node_event - firewire-ohci's pci_remove method via core's fw_destroy_nodes/ fw_node_event - itself during retries, e.g. while a node is powering up iso_resource.work: - accesses registers at the Isochronous Resource Manager node - usually does not (but may in corner cases) sleep for long - is scheduled via schedule_iso_resource() by - the owning userspace driver at addition and removal of the resource - firewire-core's fw_device.work instances after bus reset - 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. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de> Reviewed-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

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.

(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. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de> Acked-by: Clemens Ladisch <clemens@ladisch.de>

Linux kernel excludes guard page when performing mlock on a VMA with down-growing stack. However, some architectures have up-growing stack and locking the guard page should be excluded in this case too. This patch fixes lvm2 on PA-RISC (and possibly other architectures with up-growing stack). lvm2 calculates number of used pages when locking and when unlocking and reports an internal error if the numbers mismatch. [ Patch changed fairly extensively to also fix /proc/<pid>/maps for the grows-up case, and to move things around a bit to clean it all up and share the infrstructure with the /proc bits.
