card-&gt;local_node and card-&gt;bm_retries are both always accessed under
card-&gt;lock.
fw_core_handle_bus_reset has a check whose condition depends on
card-&gt;local_node and whose body writes to card-&gt;bm_retries.
Both of these accesses are not under card-&gt;lock. Move the lock acquiring
of card-&gt;lock to before this check such that these accesses do happen
when card-&gt;lock is held.
fw_destroy_nodes is called inside the check.
Since fw_destroy_nodes already acquires card-&gt;lock inside its function
body, move this out to the callsites of fw_destroy_nodes.
Also add a comment to indicate which locking is necessary when calling
fw_destroy_nodes.

<title>firewire: remove check of list iterator against head past the loop body</title>

When list_for_each_entry() completes the iteration over the whole list
without breaking the loop, the iterator value will be a bogus pointer
computed based on the head element.

While it is safe to use the pointer to determine if it was computed
based on the head element, either with list_entry_is_head() or
&amp;pos-&gt;member == head, using the iterator variable after the loop should
be avoided.

In preparation to limit the scope of a list iterator to the list
traversal loop, use a dedicated pointer to point to the found element [1].

&amp;e-&gt;event and e point to the same address, and &amp;e-&gt;event could
be freed in queue_event. So there is a potential uaf issue if
we dereference e after calling queue_event(). Fix this by adding
a temporary variable to maintain e-&gt;client in advance, this can
avoid the potential uaf issue.

<title>firewire: add kernel API to access packet structure in request structure for AR context</title>

<content type='text'>
In 1394 OHCI specification, descriptor of Asynchronous Receive DMA context
has timeStamp field in its trailer quadlet. The field is written by
the host controller for the time to receive asynchronous request
subaction in isochronous cycle time.

In Linux FireWire subsystem, the value of field is stored to fw_packet
structure and copied to fw_request structure as the part. The fw_request
structure is hidden from unit driver and passed as opaque pointer when
calling registered handler. It's inconvenient to the unit driver which
needs timestamp of packet.

This commit adds kernel API to pick up timestamp from opaque pointer to
fw_request structure.

<title>firewire: add kernel API to access CYCLE_TIME register</title>

1394 OHCI specification defined Isochronous Cycle Timer Register to get
value of CYCLE_TIME register defined by IEEE 1394 for CSR architecture
defined by ISO/IEC 13213. Unit driver can calculate packet time by
compute with the value of CYCLE_TIME and timeStamp field in descriptor
of each isochronous and asynchronous context. The resolution of CYCLE_TIME
is 49.576 MHz, while the one of timeStamp is 8,000 Hz.

Current implementation of Linux FireWire subsystem allows the driver to
get the value of CYCLE_TIMER CSR register by transaction service. The
transaction service has overhead in regard of access to MMIO register.

This commit adds kernel API for unit driver to access the register
directly.

This fixes segfaults when a card gets yanked off of the PCIe bus while
busy, e.g. with a userspace app trying to get the cycle time:

As long as reading commit 20802224298c ("firewire: core: add forgotten
dummy driver methods, remove unused ones"), three functions are not
implemeted in dummy driver for reason; .read_csr, .write_csr, and
.set_config_rom.

In core of Linux FireWire subsystem, the callback of .set_config_rom is
under acquisition of mutual exclusive for local list of card. The
acquision is also done in process for removal of card, therefore it's
safe for missing implementation of .set_config_rom.

On the other hand, no lock primitive accompanies any call of .read_csr and
.write_csr. For userspace client, check of node shutdown is done in the
beginning of dispatch of ioctl request, while node shifts to shutdown
state in workqueue context enough after card shifts to dummy driver. It's
probable that these two functions are called for the dummy driver by the
code of userspace client. In-kernel unit driver has similar situation.
It's better to add implementation of the two functions for dummy driver.

     resolved by the kernel for use in acceleration paths (BPF / XDP
     right now, HW offload users will benefit as well)

   - Make neighbor eviction on link down controllable by userspace to
     work around WiFi networks with bad roaming implementations

<title>firewire: Remove function callback casts</title>
<updated>2021-11-01T18:44:26+00:00</updated>

<id>ebe4560ed5c8cbfe3759f16c23ca5a6df090c6b5</id>
<content type='text'>
In 1394 OHCI specification, Isochronous Receive DMA context has several
modes. One of mode is 'BufferFill' and Linux FireWire stack uses it to
receive isochronous packets for multiple isochronous channel as
FW_ISO_CONTEXT_RECEIVE_MULTICHANNEL.

The mode is not used by in-kernel driver, while it's available for
userspace. The character device driver in firewire-core includes
cast of function callback for the mode since the type of callback
function is different from the other modes. The case is inconvenient
to effort of Control Flow Integrity builds due to
-Wcast-function-type warning.

This commit removes the cast. A static helper function is newly added
to initialize isochronous context for the mode. The helper function
arranges isochronous context to assign specific callback function
after call of existent kernel API. It's noticeable that the number of
isochronous channel, speed, and the size of header are not required for
the mode. The helper function is used for the mode by character device
driver instead of direct call of existent kernel API.

The same goal can be achieved (in the ioctl_create_iso_context function)
without this helper function as follows:
- Call the fw_iso_context_create function passing NULL to the callback
  parameter.
- Then setting the context-&gt;callback.sc or context-&gt;callback.mc
  variables based on the a-&gt;type value.

However using the helper function created in this patch makes code more
clear and declarative. This way avoid the call to a function with one
purpose to achieved another one.
