Increase (and rename) the login orb reply timeout value to 20s to match that of the old firewire stack. 2s simply didn't give many devices enough time to spin up and reply. Fixes inability to recognize some devices. Failure mode was "orb reply timed out"/"failed to login".

read_rom() obtained a fresh new fw_device.generation for each read transaction. Hence it was able to continue reading in the middle of the ROM even if a bus reset happened. However the device may have modified the ROM during the reset. We would end up with a corrupt fetched ROM image then. Although all of this is quite unlikely, it is not impossible. Therefore we now restart reading the ROM if the bus generation changed. Note, the memory barrier in read_rom() is still necessary according to tests by Jarod Wilson, despite of the ->generation access being moved up in the call chain.

There was a small window where a login or reconnect job could use an already updated card generation with an outdated node ID. We have to use the fw_device.generation here, not the fw_card.generation, because the generation must never be newer than the node ID when we emit a transaction. This cannot be guaranteed with fw_card.generation. Furthermore, the target's and initiator's node IDs can be obtained from fw_device and fw_card.

Ask the target to grant 4 seconds instead of the standard and minimum of 1 second window after bus reset for reconnection. This accelerates reconnection if there are more than one targets on the bus: If a login and inquiry to one target blocks the fw-sbp2 workqueue for more than 1s after bus reset, we now still can reconnect to the other target. Before that, fw-sbp2's reconnect attempts would be rejected with "error status: 0:9" (function rejected), and fw-sbp2 would finally re-login. All those futile reconnect attemps cost extra time until the target which needs re-login is ready for I/O again. The reconnect timeout field in the login ORB doesn't have to be honored by the target though. I found that we could get up to - allegedly 32768s from an old OXFW911 firmware - 256s from LSI bridges - 4s from OXUF922 and OXFW912 bridges, - 2s from TI bridges, - only the standard 1s from Initio and Prolific bridges and from Apple OpenFirmware in target mode. We just try to get 4 seconds which already covers the case of a few HDDs on the same bus quite nicely. A minor drawback occurs in the following (rare and impractical) border case: - two initiators are there, initiator 1 holds an exclusive login to a target, - initiator 1 goes off the bus, - target refuses login attempts from initiator 2 until reconnect_hold seconds after bus reset. An alternative approach to the issue at hand would be to parallelize fw-sbp2's reconnect and login work.

Previously, the fw-ohci driver used fixed-length buffers for storing descriptors for isochronous receive DMA programs. If an application (such as libdc1394) generated a DMA program that was too large, fw-ohci would reach the limit of its fixed-sized buffer and return an error to userspace. This patch replaces the fixed-length ring-buffer with a linked-list of page-sized buffers. Additional buffers can be dynamically allocated and appended to the list when necessary. For a particular context, buffers are kept around after use and reused as necessary, so there is no allocation taking place after the DMA program is generated for the first time. In addition, the buffers it uses are coherent for DMA so there is no syncing required before and after writes. This syncing wasn't properly done in the previous version of the code. - This is the fourth version of my patch that replaces a fixed-length buffer for DMA descriptors with a dynamically allocated linked-list of buffers. As we discovered with the last attempt, new context programs are sometimes queued from interrupt context, making it unacceptable to call tasklet_disable() from context_get_descriptors(). This version of the patch uses ohci->lock for all locking needs instead of tasklet_disable/enable. There is a new requirement that context_get_descriptors() be called while holding ohci->lock. It was already held for the AT context, so adding the requirement for the iso context did not seem particularly onerous. In addition, this has the side benefit of allowing iso queue to be safely called from concurrent user-space threads, which previously was not safe.

The firewire-ohci driver so far lacked the ability to resume cycle master duty after that condition happened, as added to ohci1394 in Linux 2.6.18 by commit 57fdb58f. This ports this patch to fw-ohci. The "cycle too long" condition has been seen in practice - with IIDC cameras if a mode with packets too large for a speed is chosen, - sporadically when capturing DV on a VIA VT6306 card with ohci1394/ ieee1394/ raw1394/ dvgrab 2. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=415841#c7 (This does not fix Fedora bug 415841.)

This patch corrects a number of bugs in the current OHCI 1.0 packet-per-buffer support: 1. Correctly deal with payloads that cross a page boundary. The previous version would not split the descriptor at such a boundary, potentially corrupting unrelated memory. 2. Allow user-space to specify multiple packets per struct fw_cdev_iso_packet in the same way that dual-buffer allows. This is signaled by header_length being a multiple of header_size. This multiple determines the number of packets. The payload size allocated per packet is determined by dividing the total payload size by the number of packets. 3. Make sync support work properly for packet-per-buffer. I have tested this patch with libdc1394 by forcing my OHCI 1.1 controller to use the packet-per-buffer support instead of dual-buffer. I would greatly appreciate testing by those who have a DV devices and other types of iso streamers to make sure I didn't cause any regressions. Stefan, with this patch, I'm hoping that libdc1394 will work with all your OHCI 1.0 controllers now. The one bit of future work that remains for packet-per-buffer support is the automatic compaction of short payloads that I discussed with Kristian.

David Moore authored
This patch fixes the problem where different OHCI 1.1 controllers behave differently when a received iso packet straddles three or more buffers when using the dual-buffer receive mode. Two changes are made in order to handle this situation: 1. The packet sync DMA descriptor is given a non-zero header length and non-zero payload length. This is because zero-payload descriptors are not discussed in the OHCI 1.1 specs and their behavior is thus undefined. Instead we use a header size just large enough for a single header and a payload length of 4 bytes for this first descriptor. 2. As we process received packets in the context's tasklet, read the packet length out of the headers. Keep track of the running total of the packet length as "excess_bytes", so we can ignore any descriptors where no packet starts or ends. These descriptors may not have had their first_res_count or second_res_count fields updated by the controller so we cannot rely on those values. The main drawback of this patch is that the excess_bytes value might get "out of sync" with the packet descriptors if something strange happens to the DMA program. I'm not if such a thing could ever happen, but I appreciate any suggestions in making it more robust. Also, the packet-per-buffer support may need a similar fix to deal with issue 1, but I haven't done any work on that yet. Stefan, I'm hoping that with this patch, all your OHCI 1.1 controllers will work properly with an unmodified version of libdc1394.

This patch speeds up sbp2 a little bit --- but more importantly, it brings the behavior of sbp2 and fw-sbp2 closer to each other. Like fw-sbp2, sbp2 now does not limit the size of single transfers to 255 sectors anymore, unless told so by a blacklist flag or by module load parameters. Only very old bridge chips have been known to need the 255 sectors limit, and we have got one such chip in our hardwired blacklist. There certainly is a danger that more bridges need that limit; but I prefer to have this issue present in both fw-sbp2 and sbp2 rather than just one of them. An OXUF922 with 400GB 7200RPM disk on an S400 controller is sped up by this patch from 22.9 to 23.5 MB/s according to hdparm. The same effect could be achieved before by setting a higher max_sectors module parameter. On buses which use 1394b beta mode, sbp2 and fw-sbp2 will now achieve virtually the same bandwidth. Fw-sbp2 only remains faster on 1394a buses due to fw-core's gap count optimization. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

Both the old e1000 driver and the new e1000e driver can drive some PCI-Express e1000 cards, and we should avoid ambiguity about which driver will pick up the support for those cards when both drivers are enabled. This solves the problem by having the old driver support those cards if the new driver isn't configured, but otherwise ceding support for PCI Express versions of the e1000 chipset to the newer driver. Thus allowing both legacy configurations where only the old driver is active (and handles all chips it knows about) and the new configuration with the new driver handling the more modern PCIE variants.

PAE mode requires that we reload cr3 in order to guarantee that changes to the pgd will be noticed by the processor. This means that in principle pud_clear needs to reload cr3 every time. However, because reloading cr3 implies a tlb flush, we want to avoid it where possible. pud_clear() is only used in a couple of places: - in free_pmd_range(), when pulling down a range of process address space, and - huge_pmd_unshare() In both cases, the calling code will do a a tlb flush anyway, so there's no need to do it within pud_clear(). In free_pmd_range(), the pud_clear is immediately followed by pmd_free_tlb(); we can hook that to make the mmu_gather do an unconditional full flush to make sure cr3 gets reloaded. In huge_pmd_unshare, it is followed by flush_tlb_range, which always results in a full cr3-reload tlb flush.

This patch adds a new configuration option, which adds support for a new early_param which gets checked in arch/x86/kernel/setup_{32,64}.c:setup_arch() to decide wether OHCI-1394 FireWire controllers should be initialized and enabled for physical DMA access to allow remote debugging of early problems like issues ACPI or other subsystems which are executed very early. If the config option is not enabled, no code is changed, and if the boot paramenter is not given, no new code is executed, and independent of that, all new code is freed after boot, so the config option can be even enabled in standard, non-debug kernels. With specialized tools, it is then possible to get debugging information from machines which have no serial ports (notebooks) such as the printk buffer contents, or any data which can be referenced from global pointers, if it is stored below the 4GB limit and even memory dumps of of the physical RAM region below the 4GB limit can be taken without any cooperation from the CPU of the host, so the machine can be crashed early, it does not matter. In the extreme, even kernel debuggers can be accessed in this way. I wrote a small kgdb module and an accompanying gdb stub for FireWire which allows to gdb to talk to kgdb using remote remory reads and writes over FireWire. An version of the gdb stub fore FireWire is able to read all global data from a system which is running a a normal kernel without any kernel debugger, without any interruption or support of the system's CPU. That way, e.g. the task struct and so on can be read and even manipulated when the physical DMA access is granted.

In x86 PAE mode, stop treating pmds as a special case. Previously they were always allocated and freed with the pgd. The modifies the code to be the same as 64-bit mode, where they are allocated on demand. This is a step on the way to unifying 32/64-bit pagetable allocation as much as possible. There is a complicating wart, however. When you install a new reference to a pmd in the pgd, the processor isn't guaranteed to see it unless you reload cr3. Since reloading cr3 also has the side-effect of flushing the tlb, this is an expense that we want to avoid whereever possible. This patch simply avoids reloading cr3 unless the update is to the current pagetable. Later patches will optimise this further.

When changing a kernel page from RO->RW, it's OK to leave stale TLB entries around, since doing a global flush is expensive and they pose no security problem. They can, however, generate a spurious fault, which we should catch and simply return from (which will have the side-effect of reloading the TLB to the current PTE). This can occur when running under Xen, because it frequently changes kernel pages from RW->RO->RW to implement Xen's pagetable semantics. It could also occur when using CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, since it avoids doing a global TLB flush after changing page permissions.

On !PAE 32-bit, _PAGE_NX will be 0, making is_prefetch always return early. The test is sufficient on PAE as __supported_pte_mask is updated in the same places as nx_enabled in init_32.c which also takes disable_nx into account.
