<title>firewire: core: check for 1394a compliant IRM, fix inaccessibility of Sony camcorder</title>

<id>10389536742cefbedecb67a5b2906f155cf3a1c3</id>
<content type='text'>
Per IEEE 1394 clause 8.4.2.3, a contender for the IRM role shall check
whether the current IRM complies to 1394a-2000 or later.  If not force a
compliant node (e.g. itself) to become IRM.  This was implemented in the
older ieee1394 driver but not yet in firewire-core.

An older Sony camcorder (Sony DCR-TRV25) which implements 1394-1995 IRM
but neither 1394a-2000 IRM nor BM was now found to cause an
interoperability bug:
  - Camcorder becomes root node when plugged in, hence gets IRM role.
  - firewire-core successfully contends for BM role, proceeds to perform
    gap count optimization and resets the bus.
  - Sony camcorder ignores presence of a BM (against the spec, this is
    a firmware bug), performs its idea of gap count optimization and
    resets the bus.
  - Preceding two steps are repeated endlessly, bus never settles,
    regular I/O is practically impossible.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.firewire.user/3913

This is an interoperability regression from the old to the new drivers.
Fix it indirectly by adding the 1394a IRM check.  The spec suggests
three and a half methods to determine 1394a compliance of a remote IRM;
we choose the method of testing the Config_ROM.Bus_Info.generation
field.  This is data that firewire-core should have readily available at
this point, i.e. does not require extra I/O.

Using a single timeout for all transaction that need to be flushed does
not work if the submission of new transactions can defer the timeout
indefinitely into the future.  We need to have timeouts that do not
change due to other transactions; the simplest way to do this is with a
separate timer for each transaction.

fw_core_handle_response() was not properly clearing tlabel_mask. This
was resulting in premature tlabel exhaustion.

Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley &lt;phurley@charter.net&gt;

This fixes an omission in 2.6.31-rc1 commit 1e626fdc "firewire: core:
use more outbound tlabels" which prevented to really use 64 instead of
32 transaction labels, as soon as split transactions occurred that had
their AR-resp tasklet run after the AT-req tasklet.

If one request is so long-lived that it does not get a response before
the following 63 requests, its bit in tlabel_mask is still set when the
next request tries to allocate a transaction label for that number.  In
this state, while the first request is not completed or timed out, no
new requests can be submitted.

To fix this, skip over any label still in use, and do not error out
unless we have entirely run out of labels.

Clemens Ladisch pointed out that
  - BIB_IMC is not named like the field is called in the standard,
  - readers of the code may get worried about the magic 0x0c0083c0,
  - a CSR_NODE_CAPABILITIES key is there in the header but not put to
    good use.

So let's rename BIB_IMC, add a defined constant for Node_Capabilities
and a comment which reassures people that somebody thought about it and
they don't have to (or if they still do, tell them where they have to
look for confirmation), and prune our incomplete and arbitrary set of
defined constants of CSR key IDs.  And there is a nother magic number,
that of Bus_Information_Block.Bus_Name, to be defined and commented.

Add a loop to wait for the controller to finish a locally-initiated CSR
lock operation.  Google shows some occurrences of the "swap not done
yet" message which might indicate that some OHCI controllers are not
fast enough to do the lock/swap in the time needed for one PCI access.

This also correctly handles the case where the lock operation did not
finish, instead of silently returning an uninitialized value.
