Clemens points out that we need to use compat_ptr() in order to safely
cast from u64 to addresses of a 32-bit usermode client.
Before, our conversion went wrong
- in practice if the client cast from pointer to integer such that
sign-extension happened, (libraw1394 and libdc1394 at least were not
doing that, IOW were not affected)
or
- in theory on s390 (which doesn't have FireWire though) and on the
tile architecture, regardless of what the client does.
The bug would usually be observed as the initial get_info ioctl failing
with "Bad address" (EFAULT).

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.

So let's correct this in the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI while it is
still young, relative to distributor adoption.
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.

Detect and handle ejection of FireWire CardBus cards in PHY register

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 dd6254e5c0 "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.

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

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.

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.

Current implementation of ohci_set_config_rom() uses a deferred
bus reset via fw_schedule_bus_reset(). If clients add multiple
unit descriptors to the config_rom in quick succession, the
deferred bus reset may not have fired before succeeding update
requests have come in. This can lead to an incorrect partial
update of the config_rom for both addition and removal of
config_rom descriptors, as the ohci_set_config_rom() routine
will return -EBUSY if a previous pending update has not been
completed yet; the requested update just gets dropped on the floor.
This patch recognizes that the "in-flight" update can be modified
until it has been processed by the bus-reset, and the locking
in the bus_reset_tasklet ensures that the update is done atomically
with respect to modifications made by ohci_set_config_rom(). The
-EBUSY error case is simply removed.

Like the older ieee1394 core driver, firewire-core skipped scanning of
any new node whose PHY sent a self ID without "link active" bit. If a
device had this bit off mistakenly, it meant that it was inaccessible to
kernel drivers with the old IEEE 1394 driver stack but could still be
accessed by userspace drivers through the raw1394 interface.
But with firewire-core, userspace drivers don't get to see such buggy
devices anymore. This is effectively a driver regression since this
device bug is otherwise harmless.
We now attempt to scan all devices, even repeaters that don't have a
link or powered-down devices that have everything but their PHY shut
down when plugged in. This results in futile repeated scanning attempts
in case of such devices that really don't have an active link, but this
doesn't hurt since recent workqueue infrastructure lets us run more
concurrent scanning jobs than we can shake a stick at.

The SPLIT_TIMEOUT mechanism is intended to detect requests that somehow
got lost. However, when the timeout value is too low, transactions that
could have been completed successfully will be cancelled. Furthermore,
there are chips whose firmwares ignore the configured split timeout and
send late split response; known examples are the DM1x00 (BeBoB), TCD22x0
(DICE), and some OXUF936QSE firmwares.
This patch changes the default timeout to two seconds, which happens to
be the default on other OSes, too.
Actual lost requests are extremely rare, so there should be no practical
downside to increasing the split timeout even on devices that work
