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.

Instead of starting the split transaction timeout timer when any request
is submitted, start it only when the destination's ACK_PENDING has been
received.  This prevents us from using a timeout that is too short, and,
if the controller's AT queue is emptying very slowly, from cancelling
a packet that has not yet been sent.

<title>firewire: add isochronous multichannel reception</title>

<content type='text'>
This adds the DMA context programming and userspace ABI for multichannel
reception, i.e. for listening on multiple channel numbers by means of a
single DMA context.

The use case is reception of more streams than there are IR DMA units
offered by the link layer.  This is already implemented by the older
ohci1394 + ieee1394 + raw1394 stack.  And as discussed recently on
linux1394-devel, this feature is occasionally used in practice.

The big drawbacks of this mode are that buffer layout and interrupt
generation necessarily differ from single-channel reception:  Headers
and trailers are not stripped from packets, packets are not aligned with
buffer chunks, interrupts are per buffer chunk, not per packet.

These drawbacks also cause a rather hefty code footprint to support this
rarely used OHCI-1394 feature.  (367 lines added, among them 94 lines of
added userspace ABI documentation.)

This implementation enforces that a multichannel reception context may
only listen to channels to which no single-channel context on the same
link layer is presently listening to.  OHCI-1394 would allow to overlay
single-channel contexts by the multi-channel context, but this would be
a departure from the present first-come-first-served policy of IR
context creation.

The implementation is heavily based on an earlier one by Jay Fenlason.
Thanks Jay.

<title>firewire: cdev: add PHY packet reception</title>

<content type='text'>
Add an FW_CDEV_IOC_RECEIVE_PHY_PACKETS ioctl() and
FW_CDEV_EVENT_PHY_PACKET_RECEIVED poll()/read() event for /dev/fw*.
This can be used to get information from remote PHYs by remote access
PHY packets.

This is also the 2nd half of the functionality (the receive part) to
support a userspace implementation of a VersaPHY transaction layer.

Safety considerations:

  - PHY packets are generally broadcasts, hence some kind of elevated
    privileges should be required of a process to be able to listen in
    on PHY packets.  This implementation assumes that a process that is
    allowed to open the /dev/fw* of a local node does have this
    privilege.

    There was an inconclusive discussion about introducing POSIX
    capabilities as a means to check for user privileges for these
    kinds of operations.

Other limitations:

  - PHY packet reception may be switched on by ioctl() but cannot be
    switched off again.  It would be trivial to provide an off switch,
    but this is not worth the code.  The client should simply close()
    the fd then, or just ignore further events.

  - For sake of simplicity of API and kernel-side implementation, no
    filter per packet content is provided.

core-transaction.c transmit_complete_callback() and close_transaction()
expect packet callback status to be an ACK or RCODE, and ACKs get
translated to RCODEs for transaction callbacks.

An old comment on the packet callback API (been there from the initial
submission of the stack) and the dummy_driver implementation of
send_request/send_response deviated from this as they also included
-ERRNO in the range of status values.

Let's narrow status values down to ACK and RCODE to prevent surprises.
RCODE_CANCELLED is chosen as the dummy_driver's RCODE as its meaning of
"transaction timed out" comes closest to what happens when a transaction
coincides with card removal.

Bus resets which are triggered
  - by the kernel drivers after updates of the local nodes' config ROM,
  - by userspace software via ioctl
shall be deferred until after &gt;=2 seconds after the last bus reset.

If multiple modifications of the local nodes' config ROM happen in a row,
only a single bus reset should happen after them.

When the local node's link goes from inactive to active or vice versa,
and at the two occasions of bus resets mentioned above --- and if the
current gap count differs from 63 --- the bus reset should be preceded
by a PHY configuration packet that reaffirms the gap count.  Otherwise a
bus manager would have to reset the bus again right after that.

This is necessary to promote bus stability, e.g. leave grace periods for
allocations and reallocations of isochronous channels and bandwidth,
SBP-2 reconnections etc.; see IEEE 1394 clause 8.2.1.

This change implements all of the above by moving bus reset initiation
into a delayed work (except for bus resets which are triggered by the
bus manager workqueue job and are performed there immediately).  It
comes with a necessary addition to the card driver methods that allows
to get the current gap count from PHY registers.

void (*fw_address_callback_t)(..., int speed, ...) is the speed that a
remote node chose to transmit a request to us.  In case of split
transactions, firewire-core will transmit the response at that speed.

Upper layer drivers on the other hand (firewire-net, -sbp2, firedtv, and
userspace drivers) cannot do anything useful with that speed datum,
except log it for debug purposes.  But data that is merely potentially
(not even actually) used for debug purposes does not belong into the API.
