Most fasync implementations do something like:
return fasync_helper(...);
But fasync_helper() will return a positive value at times - a feature used
in at least one place. Thus, a number of other drivers do:
err = fasync_helper(...);
if (err < 0)
return err;
return 0;
In the interests of consistency and more concise code, it makes sense to
map positive return values onto zero where ->fasync() is called.

It needs to happen before any firewire driver actually registers itself,
and that was previously handled by having the Makefile list the core
ieee1394 files before the drivers.
But now there are firewire drivers in drivers/media, and the Makefile
games aren't enough. So just make ieee1394_init happen earlier in the
init sequence, the way all other bus layers already do.

While Module_Vendor_ID in the configuration ROM's root directory is
mandatory, there often aren't vendor IDs in unit directories. This
affects the new firedtv driver which is meant to be auto-loaded and
matched only for vendor-specific devices.
We now always copy ne->vendor_id into ud->vendor_id before we scan a
unit directory (and fill in a possibly present vendor ID from there).
This way, the root directory's vendor ID is used as fallback in the
"uevent" environment for modprobe'ing per module alias when a node was
plugged in, and in the driver match routine when protocol drivers are
bound to unit directories. It will however not be used as sysfs
attribute of a unit directory device.

These will be used by the firedtv driver. Like hpsb_node_write() they
are much better APIs for high-level drivers than hpsb_write() and its
siblings --- easier to use correctly and also terser.
Unlike hspb_node_write(), the two new functions will only be used by
one call site. Hence make them static inline instead of exported
symbols.

A compiler barrier (explicit on the read side, implicit on the write
side) is not quite enough for what has to be accomplished here. Use
hardware memory barriers on systems which need them.
(Of course a full fix of generation handling would require much more
than this. The ieee1394 core's bus generation counter had to be tied to
the controller's bus generation counter; cf. Kristian's stack. It's
just that I have other current business with the code around these
barrier()s, so why not do at least this small fix.)

Combination of the following changes:
Tue, 26 Aug 2008 00:17:30 +0200 (CEST)
firedtv: fix remote control input
and update the scancode-to-keycode mapping to a current model. Per
default, various media key keycodes are emitted which closely match what
is printed on the remote. Userland can modify the mapping by means of
evdev ioctls. (Not tested.)
The old scancode-to-keycode mapping is left in the driver but cannot be
modified by ioctls. This preserves status quo for old remotes.
Tue, 26 Aug 2008 00:11:28 +0200 (CEST)
firedtv: replace tasklet by workqueue job
Non-atomic context is a lot nicer to work with.
Sun, 24 Aug 2008 23:30:00 +0200 (CEST)
firedtv: move some code back to ieee1394 core
Partially reverts "ieee1394: remove unused code" of Linux 2.6.25.
Sun, 24 Aug 2008 23:29:30 +0200 (CEST)
firedtv: replace semaphore by mutex
firesat->avc_sem and ->demux_sem have been used exactly like a mutex.
The only exception is the schedule_remotecontrol tasklet which did a
down_trylock in atomic context. This is not possible with
mutex_trylock; however the whole remote control related code is
non-functional anyway at the moment. This should be fixed eventually,
probably by turning the tasklet into a worqueue job.
Convert everything else from semaphore to mutex.
Also rewrite a few of the affected functions to unlock the mutex at a
single exit point, instead of in several branches.
Sun, 24 Aug 2008 23:28:45 +0200 (CEST)
firedtv: some header cleanups
Unify #ifndef/#define/#endif guards against multiple inclusion.
Drop extern keyword from function declarations.
Remove #include's into header files where struct declarations suffice.
Remove unused ohci1394 interface and related unused ieee1394 interfaces.
Add a few missing #include's and remove a few apparently obsolete ones.

This makes sbp2 behave more like firewire-sbp2 which reports 0xff000000
as immediate value if there are no unit directory entries for model_id
or firmware_revision.
It does not reduce matches with the currently existing quirks table; the
only zero entry there is for a device which actually does have a zero
model_id. It only changes how model_id and firmware_revision are logged
if they are missing.
Other functionally unrelated changes: The model_id member of quirks
list entries is renamed to model; the value (but not the effect) of
SBP2_ROM_VALUE_WILDCARD is changed. Now this part of the source is
identical with firewire-sbp2 for easier maintenance.

1394-2008 clause 16.3.4.1 (1394b-2002 clause 16.3.1.1) defines tighter
limits than 1394-2008 clause 6.2.2.3 (1394a-2000 clause 6.2.2.3).
Our previously too large limit doesn't matter though if the controller
reports its max_receive correctly.

The hard-wired configuration of the top speed (until now S800) was
unnecessary, remove it.
If the local link layer controller supports S1600 or S3200, we now
assume this speed for all present 1394b PHYs (except if they are
behind 1394a repeaters) until nodemgr figured out the actual speed
while fetching the config ROM.

camcorders and others
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&atid=114103&aid=2492640&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 .

It is already known that buggy firmwares exist which report a bogus
link_spd in their config ROM bus info block. We now got the first
report of a bogus max_rom too (Freecom FireWire Hard Drive 1TB,
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12206).
I suspect other OSs only use quadlet reads to fetch the config ROM,
otherwise the firmware authors would have noticed their mistake.
Hence limit ieee1394's config ROM fetching routine to quadlets as the
safe minimum regardless of what the bus info block says.
This will potentially slow the bus reset handling by nodemgr somewhat
down. But most existing devices support only quadlet reads anyway,
hence there will often be no actual difference to before this change.

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 <nigel@tuxonice.net>
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.

Fix a possible though highly unlikely deadlock:
Thread A: Thread B:
- acquire mmap_sem - dv1394_ioctl/read/write()
- dv1394_mmap() - acquire video->mtx
- acquire video->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.

Regression in 2.6.28-rc1: When I added the new state_mutex which
prevents corruption of raw1394's internal state when accessed by
multithreaded client applications, the following possible though
highly unlikely deadlock slipped in:
Thread A: Thread B:
- acquire mmap_sem - raw1394_write() or raw1394_ioctl()
- raw1394_mmap() - acquire state_mutex
- acquire state_mutex - copy_to/from_user(), possible page fault:
acquire mmap_sem
The simplest fix is to use mutex_trylock() instead of mutex_lock() in
raw1394_mmap(). This changes the behavior under contention in a way
which is visible to userspace clients. However, since multithreaded
access was entirely buggy before state_mutex was added and libraw1394's
documentation advised application programmers to use a handle only in a
single thread, this change in behaviour should not be an issue in
practice at all.
Since we have to use mutex_trylock() in raw1394_mmap() regardless
whether /dev/raw1394 was opened with O_NONBLOCK or not, we now use
mutex_trylock() unconditionally everywhere for state_mutex, just to have
consistent behavior.
