<id>105e53f863c04e1d9e5bb34bf753c9fdbce6a60c</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

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.

<content type='text'>
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.

This should fix accessibility of Focusrite Saffire PRO 26 I/O:

On a 32-bit machine with, e.g., HZ=1000, jiffies will overflow after
about 50 days, so if there are between 25 and 50 days between bus
resets, the card-&gt;reset_jiffies comparisons can get wrong results.

To fix this, ensure that this timestamp always uses 64 bits.

When a descriptor was added or removed to the local node's config ROM,
userspace clients which had a local node's /dev/fw* open did not receive
any fw_cdev_event_bus_reset for poll()/read() consumption.

The cause was that the core-device.c facility which re-reads the config
ROM of the bus reset initiator node missed to call the fw_device update
function.  The fw_units are destroyed and newly added, but their parent
stays and needs to be updated.

While we are at fixing the whole documentation of fw_send_request(),
also improve the rest of firewire-core's kerneldoc comments:
  - Add a bit of text concerning fw_run_transaction()'s call parameters.
  - Append () to function names and tab-align parameter descriptions as
    suggested by the example in Documentation/kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt.
  - Remove kerneldoc markers from comments on static functions.
  - Remove outdated parameter descriptions at build_tree().

<title>include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h</title>

<id>5a0e3ad6af8660be21ca98a971cd00f331318c05</id>
<content type='text'>
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -&gt; slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -&gt; slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

The driver match strategy was:
  - Match vendor/model/specifier/version of the unit directory.
  - If that was a miss, match vendor from the root directory and
    model/specifier/version of the unit directory.

This was inconsistent with how the modalias string was constructed
until recently (take vendor/model from root directory and specifier/
version from unit directory).  It was also inconsistent with how it is
done since the parent commit:
  - Use vendor/model/specifier/version of the unit directory if possible,
  - fall back to one or more of vendor/model/specifier/version from the
    root directory depending on which ones are not present at the unit
    directory.

Fix this inconsistency by sharing the ROM scanner function between
modalias printer function and driver match function.
