Since commit 98e238cd42be6c0852da519303cf0182690f8d9f in Linux 2.6.19,
"ieee1394: sbp2: don't prefer MODE SENSE 10", some FireWire DVD-ROMs and
DVD-RWs were mistaken as CD-ROM because sr_mod now sent MODE SENSE 6.
The MMC command set includes only MODE SENSE 10.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7800
This fix lets sbp2 switch scsi_device.use_10_for_rw on for MMC LUs.
This should rather be done in the command set driver sr_mod, not in the
sbp2 transport driver, and an according patch will follow for a next
Linux release.

ieee1394: nodemgr: fix startup of knodemgrd

Revert a thinko in commit d2f119fe319528da8c76a1107459d6f478cbf28c:
When knodemgrd starts, it needs to sleep until host->generation was
incremented above its initial value of 0. My wrong logic caused it to
start sending requests when the bus wasn't completely ready. Seen as
"AT dma reset ctx=0, aborting transmission" messages in 2.6.19-rc1.

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.
The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.
Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.
This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
And put the old one back at the end:
set_irq_regs(old_regs);
Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
- update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
- profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
+ update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
+ profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
(*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in
the input_dev struct.
(*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does
something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
pointer or not.
(*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
irq_handler_t.

This is a follow-up to patch "ieee1394: sbp2: enable auto spin-up for
Maxtor disks". When I 'ejected' an OXUF922 based HDD from a Mac OS X
box, it was spun down by the Mac and did not spin up by itself when
attached to a Linux box right after that. The first SCSI command that
required the bridge to access the drive ended in
sda:<6>sd 18:0:0:0: Device not ready: <6>: Current: sense key: Not Ready
Additional sense: Logical unit not ready, initializing cmd. required
Therefore the flag which instructs scsi_mod to send START STOP UNIT with
START=1 ("make medium ready") after such a condition is now enabled
unconditionally for all FireWire storage devices.

In the old days, sbp2 used to coerce all MODE SENSE commands into the
10 bytes version. When all command set conversions were removed from
sbp2 several months ago, sdev->use_10_for_ms = 1 was added. Meaning,
higher SCSI layers preferred the 10 bytes version but would try the 6
bytes version if the former failed.
Recently, a problem with the 10 bytes version was discovered. An Initio
INIC-1530 firmware accepted the 10 bytes version but replied with bogus
data, showing the HDD incorrectly as write-protected. Since RBC
actually mandates MODE SENSE (6), I checked which version was sent by
Windows XP and Mac OS X 10.3 to an SBP-2 target hosted by Linux --- it
was the 6 bytes version. (Exception: OS X sent the 10 bytes version to
an MMC target. RBC and SBC got MODE SENSE (6).)
Therefore, drop the use_10_for_ms flag from sbp2. Now the upper layers
will try MODE SENSE (6) before MODE SENSE (10) on all SBP-2 devices.

Scsi_remove_device() may go into uninterruptible sleep if blocked.
Therefore sbp2_remove() unblocks the Scsi_Host before the device is
requested to be removed. But there could be another 1394 bus reset
after that which would block the host again. The 1394 subsystem won't
call sbp2_update() concurrently to sbp2_remove(), which is why there is
no chance for sbp2_remove() to be unblocked by sbp2_update().
The fix is to tell sbp2's bus reset handler when a device is to be shut
down so that it skips scsi_block_requests() on that host. As before,
any new commands after a reset without reconnect will be failed quickly
by sbp2scsi_queuecommand().
In the long term, means to go without scsi_block_requests() should be
found.

Fix for http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6948
Because sbp2 writes to the target's fetch agent's registers from within
atomic context, it cannot sleep to guaranteedly get a free transaction
label. This may repeatedly lead to "sbp2util_node_write_no_wait failed"
and consequently to SCSI command abortion after timeout. A likely cause
is that many queue_command softirqs may occur before khpsbpkt (the
ieee1394 driver's thread which cleans up after finished transactions) is
woken up to recycle tlabels.
Sbp2 now schedules a workqueue job whenever sbp2_link_orb_command fails
in sbp2util_node_write_no_wait. The job will reliably get a transaction
label because it can sleep.
We use the kernel-wide shared workqueue because it is unlikely that the
job itself actually needs to sleep. In the improbable case that it has
to sleep, it doesn't need to sleep long since the standard transaction
timeout is 100ms.

Sbp2's copy of the status fifo was cleared when management ORBs or new
command ORBs were prepared. The latter had potential for a race
condition if the block layer's soft IRQ and the 1394 LLD's interrupt
handler ran on different CPUs. It would also yield wrong status if a
command was completed with non-zero completion status before other
commands that had zero completion status, and no new command was
enqueued in the meantime.
Now, the status buffer is cleared right before it is written. Thus it
ends up in the following simpler and safer access pattern:
- sbp2_alloc_device: allocates and implicitly clears once,
- sbp2_handle_status_write: clears, writes, and reads,
- sbp2_query_logins, sbp2_login_device, sbp2_reconnect_device: read.
The latter three do not race with sbp2_handle_status_write because of
how the protocol works.
As a tiny optimization, the first two quadlets of the status never need
to be cleared.

The sbp2 initiator has two ways to tell a target's fetch agent about new
command ORBs:
- Write the ORB's address to the ORB_POINTER register. This must not
be done while the fetch agent is active.
- Put the ORB's address into the previously submitted ORB's next_ORB
field and write to the DOORBELL register. This may be done while the
fetch agent is active or suspended. It must not be done while the
fetch agent is in reset state.
Sbp2 has a last_orb pointer which indicates in what way a new command
should be announced. That pointer is concurrently accessed at various
occasions. Furthermore, initiator and target are accessing the next_ORB
field of ORBs concurrently and asynchronously.
This patch does:
- Protect all initiator accesses to last_orb by sbp2_command_orb_lock.
- Add pci_dma_sync_single_for_device before a previously submitted
ORB's next_ORB field is overwritten.
- Insert a memory barrier between when next_ORB_lo and next_ORB_hi are
overwritten. Next_ORB_hi must not be updated before next_ORB_lo.
- Remove the rather unspecific and now superfluous qualifier "volatile"
from the next_ORB fields.
- Add comments on how last_orb is connected with what is known about
the target's fetch agent's state.

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.

ieee1394 reuses the skb infrastructure of the networking code, and uses two
skb-head queues: ->pending_packet_queue and hpsbpkt_queue. The latter is used
in the usual fashion: processed from a kernel thread. The other one,
->pending_packet_queue is also processed from hardirq context (f.e. in
hpsb_bus_reset()), which is not what the networking code usually does (which
completes from softirq or process context). This locking assymetry can be
totally correct if done carefully, but it can also be dangerous if networking
helper functions are reused, which could assume traditional networking use.
It would probably be more robust to push this completion into a workqueue -
but technically the code can be 100% correct, and lockdep has to be taught
about it. The solution is to split the ->pending_packet_queue skb-head->lock
class from the networking lock-class by using a private lock-validator key.
Has no effect on non-lockdep kernels.

Another trivial sem2mutex conversion.
Side note: nodemgr_serialize's purpose, when introduced in linux1394's
revision 529 in July 2002, was to protect several data structures which
are now largely handled by or together with Linux' driver core and are
now protected by the LDM's own mechanisms. It may very well be possible
to remove this mutex now. But fully parallelized node scanning is on
our long-term TODO list anyway; the mutex will certainly go away then.

An already existing wait queue replaces raw1394's complete_sem which was
maintained in parallel to the wait queue. The role of the semaphore's
counter is taken over by a direct check of what was really counted: The
presence of items in the list of completed requests.
Notes:
- raw1394_release() sleeps uninterruptibly until all requests were
completed. This is the same behaviour as before the patch.
- The macros wait_event and wait_event_interruptible are called with a
condition argument which has a side effect, i.e. manipulation of the
requests list. This side effect happens only if the condition is
true. The patch relies on the fact that wait_event[_interruptible]
does not evaluate the condition again after it became true.
- The diffstat looks unfavorable with respect to added lines of code.
However 19 of them are comments, and some are due to separation of
existing code blocks into two small helper functions.
