13882a82ee firewire: optimize iso queueing by setting wake only after the last packet
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.

2e053a27d9 firewire: Fix for broken configrom updates in quick succession
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.

[Stefan R:  The bug always existed at least theoretically.  But it
became easy to trigger since 2.6.36 commit 02d37bed18 "firewire: core:
integrate software-forced bus resets with bus management" which
introduced long mandatory delays between janitorial bus resets.]

da28947e7e firewire: ohci: avoid separate DMA mapping for small AT payloads
For AT packet payloads of up to eight bytes, we have enough unused space
in the DMA descriptors list so that we can put a copy of the payload
there and thus avoid having to create a separate streaming DMA mapping
for the payload buffer.

In a CPU-bound microbenchmark that just sends 8-byte packets, bandwidth
was measured to increase by 5.7 %, from 1009 KB/s to 1067 KB/s.  In
practice, the only performance-sensitive usage of small asynchronous
packets is the SBP-2 driver's write to the ORB_POINTER register during
SCSI command submission.

d838d2c09a firewire: ohci: Misleading kfree in ohci.c::pci_probe/remove
It seems drivers/firewire/ohci.c is making some optimistic assumptions
about struct fw_ohci and that member "card" will always remain the first
member of the struct.
Plus it's probably going to confuse a lot of static code analyzers too.

So I wonder if there is a good reason not to free the ohci struct just
like it was allocated instead of the tricky &ohci->card way?

44b74d909d firewire: ohci: prevent starting of iso contexts with empty queue
If a misguided program tried to start an isochronous context before it
has queued any packets, the call would appear to succeed, but the
context would not actually go into the running state, and the OHCI
controller would then raise an unrecoverableError interrupt because the
first Z value is zero and thus invalid.  The driver logs such errors,
but there is no mechanism to report this back to the program.

7a39d8b821 firewire: ohci: Asynchronous Reception rewrite
Move the AR DMA descriptors out of the buffer pages, and map the buffer
pages linearly into the kernel's address space.  This allows the driver
to ignore any page boundaries in the DMA data and thus to avoid any
copying around of packet payloads.

This fixes the bug where S800 packets that are so big (> 4080 bytes)
that they can be split over three pages were not handled correctly.

Due to the changed algorithm, we can now use arbitrarily many buffer
pages, which improves performance because the controller can more easily
unload its DMA FIFO.

Furthermore, using streaming DMA mappings should improve perfomance on
architectures where coherent DMA mappings are not cacheable.  Even on
other architectures, the caching behaviour should be improved slightly
because the CPU no longer writes to the buffer pages.

v2: Detect the last filled buffer page by searching the descriptor's
    residual count value fields in order (like in the old code), instead
    of going backwards through the transfer status fields; it looks as
    if some controllers do not set the latter correctly.

v3: Fix an old resume bug that would now make the handler run into
    a BUG_ON, and replace that check with more useful error handling.
    Increase the buffer size for better performance with non-TI chips.

a1f805e5e7 firewire: ohci: fix race in AR split packet handling
When handling an AR buffer that has been completely filled, we assumed
that its descriptor will not be read by the controller and can be
overwritten.  However, when the last received packet happens to end at
the end of the buffer, the controller might not yet have moved on to the
next buffer and might read the branch address later.  If we overwrite
and free the page before that, the DMA context will either go dead
because of an invalid Z value, or go off into some random memory.

To fix this, ensure that the descriptor does not get overwritten by
using only the actual buffer instead of the entire page for reassembling
the split packet.  Furthermore, to avoid freeing the page too early,
move on to the next buffer only when some data in it guarantees that the
controller has moved on.

This should eliminate the remaining firewire-net problems.

85f7ffd5d2 firewire: ohci: fix buffer overflow in AR split packet handling
When the controller had to split a received asynchronous packet into two
buffers, the driver tries to reassemble it by copying both parts into
the first page.  However, if size + rest > PAGE_SIZE, i.e., if the yet
unhandled packets before the split packet, the split packet itself, and
any received packets after the split packet are together larger than one
page, then the memory after the first page would get overwritten.

To fix this, do not try to copy the data of all unhandled packets at
once, but copy the possibly needed data every time when handling
a packet.

This gets rid of most of the infamous crashes and data corruptions when
using firewire-net.

a4dc090b6c firewire: ohci: work around VIA and NEC PHY packet reception bug
VIA VT6306, VIA VT6308, and NEC OrangeLink controllers do not write
packet event codes for received PHY packets (or perhaps write
evt_no_status, hard to tell).  Work around it by overwriting the

packet reception get to see these packets.

(Also tested:  TI TSB82AA2, TI TSB43AB22/A, TI XIO2213A, Agere FW643,
JMicron JMB381 --- these do not exhibit this bug.)

Clemens proposed a quirks flag for that, IOW whitelist known misbehaving
controllers for this workaround.  Though to me it seems harmless enough
to enable for all controllers.

The log_ar_at_event() debug log will continue to show the original
status from the DMA unit.

872e330e38 firewire: add isochronous multichannel reception
This adds the DMA context programming and userspace ABI for multichannel
reception, i.e. for listening on multiple channel numbers by means of a
single DMA context.

The use case is reception of more streams than there are IR DMA units
offered by the link layer.  This is already implemented by the older
ohci1394 + ieee1394 + raw1394 stack.  And as discussed recently on
linux1394-devel, this feature is occasionally used in practice.

The big drawbacks of this mode are that buffer layout and interrupt
generation necessarily differ from single-channel reception:  Headers
and trailers are not stripped from packets, packets are not aligned with
buffer chunks, interrupts are per buffer chunk, not per packet.

These drawbacks also cause a rather hefty code footprint to support this
rarely used OHCI-1394 feature.  (367 lines added, among them 94 lines of
added userspace ABI documentation.)

This implementation enforces that a multichannel reception context may
only listen to channels to which no single-channel context on the same
link layer is presently listening to.  OHCI-1394 would allow to overlay
single-channel contexts by the multi-channel context, but this would be
a departure from the present first-come-first-served policy of IR
context creation.

e5b06c077c firewire: ohci: release channel in error path
firewire-ohci keeps book of which isochronous channels are occupied by
IR DMA contexts, so that there cannot be more than one context listening
to a certain channel.

If IR context creation failed due to an out-of-memory condition, this
bookkeeping leaked a channel.

071595ebdc firewire: ohci: use memory barriers to order descriptor updates
When we append to a DMA program, we need to ensure that the order in
which initialization of the new descriptors and update of the
branch_address of the old tail descriptor, as seen by the PCI device,
happen as intended.

cc550216ae firewire: cdev: add PHY pinging
This extends the FW_CDEV_IOC_SEND_PHY_PACKET ioctl() for /dev/fw* to be
useful for ping time measurements.  One application for it would be gap
count optimization in userspace that is based on ping times rather than
hop count.  (The latter is implemented in firewire-core itself but is
not applicable to beta PHYs that act as repeater.)

bf54e1462b firewire: cdev: add PHY packet reception
Add an FW_CDEV_IOC_RECEIVE_PHY_PACKETS ioctl() and
FW_CDEV_EVENT_PHY_PACKET_RECEIVED poll()/read() event for /dev/fw*.
This can be used to get information from remote PHYs by remote access
PHY packets.

This is also the 2nd half of the functionality (the receive part) to
support a userspace implementation of a VersaPHY transaction layer.

Safety considerations:

  - PHY packets are generally broadcasts, hence some kind of elevated
    privileges should be required of a process to be able to listen in
    on PHY packets.  This implementation assumes that a process that is
    allowed to open the /dev/fw* of a local node does have this
    privilege.

    There was an inconclusive discussion about introducing POSIX
    capabilities as a means to check for user privileges for these
    kinds of operations.

Other limitations:

  - PHY packet reception may be switched on by ioctl() but cannot be
    switched off again.  It would be trivial to provide an off switch,
    but this is not worth the code.  The client should simply close()
    the fd then, or just ignore further events.

  - For sake of simplicity of API and kernel-side implementation, no
    filter per packet content is provided.

02d37bed18 firewire: core: integrate software-forced bus resets with bus management
Bus resets which are triggered
  - by the kernel drivers after updates of the local nodes' config ROM,
  - by userspace software via ioctl
shall be deferred until after >=2 seconds after the last bus reset.

If multiple modifications of the local nodes' config ROM happen in a row,
only a single bus reset should happen after them.

When the local node's link goes from inactive to active or vice versa,
and at the two occasions of bus resets mentioned above --- and if the
current gap count differs from 63 --- the bus reset should be preceded
by a PHY configuration packet that reaffirms the gap count.  Otherwise a
bus manager would have to reset the bus again right after that.

This is necessary to promote bus stability, e.g. leave grace periods for
allocations and reallocations of isochronous channels and bandwidth,
SBP-2 reconnections etc.; see IEEE 1394 clause 8.2.1.

This change implements all of the above by moving bus reset initiation
into a delayed work (except for bus resets which are triggered by the
bus manager workqueue job and are performed there immediately).  It
comes with a necessary addition to the card driver methods that allows
to get the current gap count from PHY registers.

db3c9cc105 firewire: replace get_features card driver hook
by feature variables in the fw_card struct.  The hook appeared to be an
unnecessary abstraction in the card driver interface.

Cleaner would be to pass those feature flags as arguments to
fw_card_initialize() or fw_card_add(), but the FairnessControl register
is in the SCLK domain and may therefore not be accessible while Link
Power Status is off, i.e. before the card->driver->enable call from
fw_card_add().
