Commit 1448d7c6a2ff96d3b52ecae49e2d0f046a097fe0 upstream.

As per https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294391.  These got one sample of
each iPod generation going.  However there still occurred I/O stalls
with the 3rd generation iPod which remain undiagnosed at the time of
this writing.

Commit 64c634ef83991b390ec0503e61f16efb0ba3c60b upstream.

Camcorders have a tendency to fail read requests to their config ROM and
write request to their FCP command register with ack_busy_X.  This has
become a problem with newer kernels and especially Panasonic camcorders,
causing AV/C in dvgrab and kino to fail.  Dvgrab for example frequently
logs "send oops"; kino reports loss of AV/C control.  I suspect that
lower CPU scheduling latencies in newer kernels made this issue more
prominent now.

According to
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&amp;atid=114103&amp;aid=2492640&amp;group_id=14103
this can be fixed by configuring the FireWire controller for more
hardware retries for request transmission; these retries are evidently
more successful than libavc1394's own retry loop (typically 3 tries on
top of hardware retries).

Presumably the same issue has been reported at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449252 and
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=477279 .

<title>ieee1394: node manager causes up to ~3.25s delay in freezing tasks</title>

<id>ec9a13cdbfc8cf29502096ca69b65f07184a9b2c</id>
<content type='text'>
The firewire nodemanager function "nodemgr_host_thread" contains a loop
that calls try_to_freeze near the top of the loop, but then delays for
up to 3.25 seconds (plus time to do work) before getting back to the top
of the loop. When starting a cycle post-boot, this doesn't seem to bite,
but it is causing a noticeable delay at boot time, when freezing
processes prior to starting to read the image.

The following patch adds invocation of try_to_freeze to the subloops
that are used in the body of this function. With these additions, the
time to freeze when starting to resume at boot time is virtually zero.
I'm no expert on firewire, and so don't know that we shouldn't check
the return value and jump back to the top of the loop or such like after
being frozen, but I submit it for your consideration.

Signed-off-by: Nigel Cunningham &lt;nigel@tuxonice.net&gt;

The delay until nodemgr freezes was up to 0.25s (plus time for node
probes) in Linux 2.6.27 and older and up to 3.25s (plus ~) since Linux
2.6.28-rc1, hence much more noticeable.

try_to_freeze() without any jump is correct.  The surrounding code in
the respective loops will catch whether another bus reset happens during
the freeze and handle it.

If there is more than one FireWire controller present, dummy_zero_addr
and dummy_max_addr were added multiple times to different lists, thus
corrupting the lists.  Fix this by allocating them dynamically per host
instead of just once globally.

(Perhaps a better address space allocation algorithm could rid us of the
two dummy address spaces.)

Fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10129 .

As it is, all instances of -&gt;release() for files that have -&gt;fasync()
need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that
creates a hole and we actually have a bunch that *does* forget.

So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in
file-&gt;f_flags and call -&gt;fasync() there if it's been set.  And lose that
crap in -&gt;release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we
don't have to bother anymore.

Fix a possible though highly unlikely deadlock:

Thread A:                  Thread B:
 - acquire mmap_sem         - dv1394_ioctl/read/write()
 - dv1394_mmap()            - acquire video-&gt;mtx
 - acquire video-&gt;mtx       - copy_to/from_user(), possible page fault:
                              acquire mmap_sem

The simplest fix is to use mutex_trylock() instead of mutex_lock() in
dv1394_mmap().  This changes the behavior under contention in a way
which is visible to userspace clients.  However, my guess is that no
clients exist which use mmap vs. ioctl/read/write on the dv1394
character device file interface in concurrent threads.
