<id>0ca49345b6f489e95f8d6edeb0b092e257475b2a</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit bd972688eb24
"firewire: ohci: Fix 'failed to read phy reg' on FW643 rev8",
there is a high chance that firewire-ohci fails to initialize LSI née
Agere controllers.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65151

Peter Hurley points out the reason:  IEEE 1394a:2000 clause 5A.1 (or
IEEE 1394:2008 clause 17.2.1) say:  "The PHY shall insure that no more
than 10 ms elapse from the reassertion of LPS until the interface is
reset.  The link shall not assert LReq until the reset is complete."
In other words, the link needs to give the PHY at least 10 ms to get
the interface operational.

With just the msleep(1) in bd972688eb24, the first read_phy_reg()
during ohci_enable() may happen before the phy-link interface reset was
finished, and fail.  Due to the high variability of msleep(n) with small
n, this failure was not fully reproducible, and not apparent at all with
low CONFIG_HZ setting.

On the other hand, Peter can no longer reproduce the issue with FW643
rev8.  The read phy reg failures that happened back then may have had an
unrelated cause.  So, just revert bd972688eb24, except for the valid
comment on TSB82AA2 cards.

<title>firewire: Enable remote DMA above 4 GB</title>

<id>fcd46b34425da52703fe65b7f08850c509dcb0ed</id>
<content type='text'>
This makes all of a machine's memory accessible to remote debugging via
FireWire, using the physical response unit (i.e. RDMA) of OHCI-1394 link
layer controllers.

This requires actual support by the controller.  The only ones currently
known to support it are Agere/LSI FW643.  Most if not all other OHCI-1394
controllers do not implement the optional Physical Upper Bound register.
With them, RDMA will continue to be limited to the lowermost 4 GB.

firewire-ohci's startup message in the kernel log is augmented to tell
whether the controller does expose more than 4 GB to RDMA.

While OHCI-1394 allows for a maximum Physical Upper Bound of
0xffff'0000'0000 (near 256 TB), this implementation sets it to
0x8000'0000'0000 (128 TB) in order to avoid interference with applications
that require interrupt-served asynchronous request reception at
respectively low addresses.

Note, this change does not switch remote DMA on.  It only increases the
range of remote access to all memory (instead of just 4 GB) whenever
remote DMA was switched on by other means.  The latter is achieved by
setting firewire-ohci's remote_dma parameter, or if the physical DMA
filter is opened through firewire-sbp2.

Derived from patch "firewire: Enable physical DMA above 4GB" by
Peter Hurley &lt;peter@hurleysoftware.com&gt; from March 27, 2013.

Put bus_reset_work into its own workqueue.  By doing this, forward
progress of bus_reset_work() is guaranteed if the work is switched over
to a rescuer thread.

Switching work to a rescuer thread happens if a new worker thread could
not be allocated in certain time (MAYDAY_INITIAL_TIMEOUT, typically 10
ms).  This might not be possible under high memory pressure or even on a
heavily loaded embedded system running a slow serial console.

The former deadlock occured in the following situation:
The rescuer thread ran
fw_device_init-&gt;read_config_rom-&gt;read_rom-&gt;fw_run_transaction.
fw_run_transaction blocked waiting for the completion object.
This completion object would have been completed in bus_reset_work,
but this work was never executed in the rescuer thread due to its
strictly sequential behaviour.

[Stefan R.:  Removed WQ_NON_REENTRANT flag from allocation because
it is no longer needed in current kernels.  Add it back if you backport
to kernels older than 3.7, i.e. one which does not contain dbf2576e37da
"workqueue: make all workqueues non-reentrant".  Swapped order of
destroy_workqueue and pci_unregister_driver.]

a) Sort device IDs by vendor -- device -- revision.

b) Write quirk flags in hexadecimal.  This affects the user-visible
output of "modinfo firewire-ohci".  Since more flags have been added
recently, it is now easier to cope with them in hexadecimal represen-
tation.  Besides, the device-specific combination of quirk flags is
shown in hexadecimal in the kernel log too.  (And firewire-sbp2
presents its own quirk flags in modinfo as hexadecimals as well.)

Commit 18d627113b83 (firewire: prevent dropping of completed iso packet
header data) was intended to be an obvious bug fix, but libdc1394 and
FlyCap2 depend on the old behaviour by ignoring all returned information
and thus not noticing that not all packets have been received yet.  The
result was that the video frame buffers would be saved before they
contained the correct data.

Reintroduce the old behaviour for old clients.
