Fix a possible though highly unlikely deadlock: Thread A: Thread B: - acquire mmap_sem - dv1394_ioctl/read/write() - dv1394_mmap() - acquire video->mtx - acquire video->mtx - copy_to/from_user(), possible page fault: acquire mmap_sem The simplest fix is to use mutex_trylock() instead of mutex_lock() in dv1394_mmap(). This changes the behavior under contention in a way which is visible to userspace clients. However, my guess is that no clients exist which use mmap vs. ioctl/read/write on the dv1394 character device file interface in concurrent threads.

Regression in 2.6.28-rc1: When I added the new state_mutex which prevents corruption of raw1394's internal state when accessed by multithreaded client applications, the following possible though highly unlikely deadlock slipped in: Thread A: Thread B: - acquire mmap_sem - raw1394_write() or raw1394_ioctl() - raw1394_mmap() - acquire state_mutex - acquire state_mutex - copy_to/from_user(), possible page fault: acquire mmap_sem The simplest fix is to use mutex_trylock() instead of mutex_lock() in raw1394_mmap(). This changes the behavior under contention in a way which is visible to userspace clients. However, since multithreaded access was entirely buggy before state_mutex was added and libraw1394's documentation advised application programmers to use a handle only in a single thread, this change in behaviour should not be an issue in practice at all. Since we have to use mutex_trylock() in raw1394_mmap() regardless whether /dev/raw1394 was opened with O_NONBLOCK or not, we now use mutex_trylock() unconditionally everywhere for state_mutex, just to have consistent behavior.

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. Use the latest values from the device in sbp2_release_target(). Signed-off-by: Jay Fenlason <fenlason@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

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: Stefan 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.

There are situations when nodes vanish from the bus and come back in quickly thereafter: - When certain bus-powered hubs are plugged in, - when certain disk enclosures are switched from self-power to bus power or vice versa and break the daisy chain during the transition, - when the user plugs a cable out and quickly plugs it back in, e.g. to reorder a daisy chain (works on Mac OS X if done quickly enough), - when certain hubs temporarily malfunction during high bus traffic. The ieee1394 driver's nodemgr already contained a function to set vanished nodes aside into "limbo"; i.e. they wouldn't actually be deleted right away. (In fact, only unloading the driver or writing into an obscure sysfs attribute would delete them eventually.) If nodes reappeared later, they would be resurrected out of limbo. Moving nodes into and out of limbo was accompanied with calling the .suspend() and .resume() driver methods of the drivers which were bound to a respective node's unit directories. Not only is this somewhat strange due to the intended use of these driver methods for power management, also the sbp2 driver in particular does not implement .suspend() and .resume(). Hence sbp2 would be disconnected from devices in situations as listed above. We now: - leave drivers bound when nodes go into limbo, - call the drivers' .update() when nodes come out of limbo, - automatically delete in-limbo nodes 3 seconds after the last bus reset and bus rescan. - Because of the automatic removal, the now obsolete bus attribute /sys/bus/ieee1394/destroy_node is removed. This especially lets sbp2 survive brief disconnections. You can for example yank a disk's cable and plug it back in while reading the respective disk with dd, but dd will happily continue as if nothing happened.

Application programs should use a libraw1394 handle only in a single thread. The raw1394 driver was apparently relying on this, because it did nothing to protect its fi->state variable from corruption due to concurrent accesses. We now serialize the fi->state accesses. This affects the write() path. We re-use the state_mutex which was introduced to protect fi->iso_state accesses in the ioctl() path. These paths and accesses are independent of each other, hence separate mutexes could be used. But I don't see much benefit in that. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

Refactor the ioctl dispatcher in order to move a fraction of it out of the section which is serialized by fi->state_mutex. This is not so much about performance but more about self-documentation: The mutex_lock()/ mutex_unlock() calls are now closer to the data accesses which the mutex protects, i.e. to the iso_state switch.

This removes the last usage of the Big Kernel Lock from the ieee1394 stack, i.e. from raw1394's (unlocked_)ioctl and compat_ioctl. The ioctl()s don't need to take the BKL, but they need to be serialized per struct file *. In particular, accesses to ->iso_state need to be serial. We simply use a blocking mutex for this purpose because libraw1394 does not use O_NONBLOCK. In practice, there is no lock contention anyway because most if not all libraw1394 clients use a libraw1394 handle only in a single thread. mmap() also accesses ->iso_state. Until now this was unprotected against concurrent changes by ioctls. Fix this bug while we are at it. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

Two dma_sync_single_for_cpu() were called in the wrong place. Luckily they were merely for DMA_TO_DEVICE, hence nobody noticed. Also reorder the matching dma_sync_single_for_device() a little bit so that they reside in the same functions as their counterparts. This also avoids syncing the s/g table for requests which don't use it. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

This is debatable, but while we're debating it, let's disallow the combination of splice and an O_APPEND destination. It's not entirely clear what the semantics of O_APPEND should be, and POSIX apparently expects pwrite() to ignore O_APPEND, for example. So we could make up any semantics we want, including the old ones. But Miklos convinced me that we should at least give it some thought, and that accepting writes at arbitrary offsets is wrong at least for IS_APPEND() files (which always have O_APPEND set, even if the reverse isn't true: you can obviously have O_APPEND set on a regular file). So disallow O_APPEND entirely for now. I doubt anybody cares, and this way we have one less gray area to worry about.

This fixes the previous fix, which was completely wrong on closer inspection. This version has been manually tested with a user-space test harness and generates sane values. A nearly identical patch has been boot-tested. The problem arose from changing how kmalloc/kfree handled alignment padding without updating ksize to match. This brings it in sync.
