The drivers
- ohci1394 (controller driver)
- ieee1394 (core)
- dv1394, raw1394, video1394 (userspace ABI)
- eth1394, sbp2 (protocol drivers)
are replaced by
- firewire-ohci (controller driver)
- firewire-core (core and userspace ABI)
- firewire-net, firewire-sbp2 (protocol drivers)
which are more featureful, better performing, and more secure than the older
drivers; all with a smaller and more modern code base.
The driver firedtv in drivers/media/dvb/firewire/ contains backends to both
ieee1394 and firewire-core. Its ieee1394 backend code can be removed in an
independent commit; firedtv as-is builds and works fine without ieee1394.
The driver pcilynx (an incomplete controller driver) is deleted without
replacement since PCILynx cards are extremely rare. Owners of these cards
use them with the stand-alone bus sniffer driver nosy instead.
The drivers nosy and init_ohci1394_dma which do not interact with either of
the two IEEE 1394 stacks are not affected by the ieee1394 subsystem removal.
There are still some issues with the newer firewire subsystem compared to
the older one:
- The rare and quirky controllers ALi M52xx, Apple UniNorth v1, NVIDIA
NForce2 are even less well supported by firewire-ohci than by ohci1394.
I am looking into the M52xx issue.
- The experimental firewire-net is reportedly less stable than its
experimental cousin eth1394.
- Audio playback of a certain group of audio devices (ones based on DICE
chipset with EAP; supported by prerelease FFADO code) does not work yet.
This issue is still under investigation.
- There were some ieee1394 based out-of-the-mainline drivers. Of them,
only lisight, an audio driver for iSight webcams, seems still useful.
Work is underway to reimplement it on top of firewire-core.
All these remainig issues are minor; they should not stand in the way of
overall better user experience of IEEE 1394 on Linux, together with a
reduction in support efforts and maintenance burden. The coexistence of two
IEEE 1394 kernel driver stacks in the mainline since 2.6.22 shall end now,
as announced earlier this year.

Two access functions get_max_rom and set_hw_config_rom are
changed to take __be32 as well. Only bus_info_data was
ever passed in so this is OK. All other uses of bus_info_data
treated it as a be32 value already.

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.)

Based on patch "the scheduled removal of RAW1394_REQ_ISO_{SEND,LISTEN}"
from Adrian Bunk, November 20 2006.
This patch also removes the underlying facilities in ohci1394 and
disables them in pcilynx. That is, hpsb_host_driver.devctl() and
hpsb_host_driver.transmit_packet() are no longer used for iso reception
and transmission.
Since video1394 and dv1394 only work with ohci1394 and raw1394's rawiso
interface has never been implemented in pcilynx, pcilynx is now no
longer useful for isochronous applications.
raw1394 will still handle the request types but will complete the
requests with errors that indicate API version conflicts.

Here is a straightforward conversion to "struct device". The "struct
class_device" will be removed from the kernel.
It seems to work fine for me with and without CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED
set.

This considerably reduces the memory requirements for a packet and
eliminates ieee1394's dependency on CONFIG_NET.

hpsb_host.config_roms is a bitfield of which only one bit is currently
used. hpsb_host.update_config_rom is only a Boolean. Neither one is
accessed in hot code paths or with alignment requirements.

After PM suspend + resume, the local configuration ROM was not restored.
This prevented remote nodes from recognizing the resuming machine.

This patch reduces the size of struct hpsb_host and also removes
semaphores from ieee1394_transactions.c. On i386, struct hpsb_host
shrinks from 10656 bytes to 6688 bytes. This is accomplished by
- using a single wait_queue for hpsb_get_tlabel instead of many
instances of semaphores,
- using a single lock to serialize access to all tlabel pools (the
protected code regions are small, i.e. lock contention very low),
- omitting the sysfs attribute tlabels_allocations.
Drawback: In the rare case that a process needs to sleep because all
transaction labels for the node are temporarily exhausted, it is also
woken up if a tlabel for a different node became free, checks for an
available tlabel, and is put to sleep again. The check is not costly
and the situation occurs extremely rarely. (Tlabels are typically
only exhausted if there was no context switch to the khpsbpkt thread
which recycles tlables.) Therefore the benefit of reduced tpool size
outweighs this drawback.
The sysfs attributes tlabels_free and tlabels_mask are not compiled
anymore unless CONFIG_IEEE1394_VERBOSEDEBUG is set.
The by far biggest member of struct hpsb_host, the struct csr_control
csr (5272 bytes on i386), is now placed at the end of struct hpsb_host.
Note, hpsb_get_tlabel calls the macro wait_event_interruptible with a
condition argument which has a side effect (allocation of a tlabel and
manipulation of the packet). This side effect happens only if the
condition is true. The patch relies on wait_event_interruptible not
evaluating the condition again after it became true.

Host adapter hardware imposes certain restrictions and features on
address ranges. Instead of hard-wire such ranges into the ieee1394
core or even into protocol drivers, let lowlevel drivers specify
these ranges via struct hpsb_host.
Patch "ohci1394: set address range properties" must be applied too,
else hpsb_allocate_and_register_addrspace() won't work properly.

Since broadcast transactions are already complete when the request has
been sent, the same transaction label can be reused all over again, see
IEEE 1394 7.3.2.5 and 6.2.4.3. Therefore we can reduce the footprint
of struct hpsb_host by the size of one struct hpsb_tlabel_pool.

Add support for the following types of hardware:
+ nodes that have a link speed < PHY speed
+ 1394b PHYs that are less than S800 capable
+ 1394b/1394a adapter cable between two 1394b PHYs
Also, S1600 and S3200 are now supported if IEEE1394_SPEED_MAX is raised.
A probing function is added to nodemgr's config ROM fetching routine
which adjusts the allowable speed if an access problem was encountered.
Pros and Cons of the approach:
+ minimum code footprint to support this less widely used hardware
+ nearly no overhead for unaffected hardware
- ineffective before nodemgr began to read the ROM of affected nodes
- ineffective if ieee1394 is loaded with disable_nodemgr=1
The speed map CSRs which are published to the bus are not touched by the
patch.

After initializing an IEEE 1394 host, broadcast a resume packet. This makes
remote nodes visible which suspended their ports while the host was down.
Such nodes had to be unplugged and replugged in order to be recognized.
Motorola DCT6200 cable reciever was affected, probably other devices too.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
