On my HP 2510p I get the following in dmesg during near the end of most

There also seems to be an interrupt storm during suspend/resume when this
happens:

This patch gets rid of both issues and makes the resume as a whole
significantly faster.

As was pointed out in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/6/127, this does not
fix the cause of the interrupt storm. However, since the source of the
interrupts could not be determined yet, we make the system at least more
usable with 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.

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.)

As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync()
need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that

So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in

crap in ->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->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.

There are situations when nodes vanish from the bus and come back in
quickly thereafter:
- When certain bus-powered hubs are plugged in,
- when certain disk enclosures are switched from self-power to bus
power or vice versa and break the daisy chain during the transition,
- when the user plugs a cable out and quickly plugs it back in, e.g.
to reorder a daisy chain (works on Mac OS X if done quickly enough),
- when certain hubs temporarily malfunction during high bus traffic.
The ieee1394 driver's nodemgr already contained a function to set
vanished nodes aside into "limbo"; i.e. they wouldn't actually be
deleted right away. (In fact, only unloading the driver or writing into
an obscure sysfs attribute would delete them eventually.) If nodes
reappeared later, they would be resurrected out of limbo.
Moving nodes into and out of limbo was accompanied with calling the
.suspend() and .resume() driver methods of the drivers which were bound
to a respective node's unit directories. Not only is this somewhat
strange due to the intended use of these driver methods for power
management, also the sbp2 driver in particular does not implement
.suspend() and .resume(). Hence sbp2 would be disconnected from devices
in situations as listed above.
We now:
- leave drivers bound when nodes go into limbo,
- call the drivers' .update() when nodes come out of limbo,
- automatically delete in-limbo nodes 3 seconds after the last
bus reset and bus rescan.
- Because of the automatic removal, the now obsolete bus attribute
/sys/bus/ieee1394/destroy_node is removed.
This especially lets sbp2 survive brief disconnections. You can for
example yank a disk's cable and plug it back in while reading the
respective disk with dd, but dd will happily continue as if nothing
happened.

Application programs should use a libraw1394 handle only in a single
thread. The raw1394 driver was apparently relying on this, because it
did nothing to protect its fi->state variable from corruption due to
concurrent accesses.
We now serialize the fi->state accesses. This affects the write() path.
We re-use the state_mutex which was introduced to protect fi->iso_state
accesses in the ioctl() path. These paths and accesses are independent
of each other, hence separate mutexes could be used. But I don't see
much benefit in that.

Refactor the ioctl dispatcher in order to move a fraction of it out of
the section which is serialized by fi->state_mutex. This is not so much
about performance but more about self-documentation: The mutex_lock()/
mutex_unlock() calls are now closer to the data accesses which the mutex
protects, i.e. to the iso_state switch.

thread-safe
This removes the last usage of the Big Kernel Lock from the ieee1394
stack, i.e. from raw1394's (unlocked_)ioctl and compat_ioctl.
The ioctl()s don't need to take the BKL, but they need to be serialized
per struct file *. In particular, accesses to ->iso_state need to be
serial. We simply use a blocking mutex for this purpose because
libraw1394 does not use O_NONBLOCK. In practice, there is no lock
contention anyway because most if not all libraw1394 clients use a
libraw1394 handle only in a single thread.
mmap() also accesses ->iso_state. Until now this was unprotected
against concurrent changes by ioctls. Fix this bug while we are at it.

1. We don't need to round the SBP-2 segment size limit down to a
multiple of 4 kB (0xffff -> 0xf000). It is only necessary to
ensure quadlet alignment (0xffff -> 0xfffc).
2. Use dma_set_max_seg_size() to tell the DMA mapping infrastructure
and the block IO layer about the restriction. This way we can
remove the size checks and segment splitting in the queuecommand
path.
This assumes that no other code in the ieee1394 stack uses
dma_map_sg() with conflicting requirements. It furthermore assumes
that the controller device's platform actually allows us to set the
segment size to our liking. Assert the latter with a BUG_ON().
3. Also use blk_queue_max_segment_size() to tell the block IO layer
about it. It cannot know it because our scsi_add_host() does not
point to the FireWire controller's device.
We can also uniformly use dma_map_sg() for the single segment case just
like for the multi segment case, to further simplify the code.
Also clean up how the page table is converted to big endian.

sbp2 was too quick to report .update() to the ieee1394 core as failed.
(Logged as "Failed to reconnect to sbp2 device!".) The core would then
unbind sbp2 from the device.
This is not justified if the .update() failed because another bus reset
happened. We check this and tell the ieee1394 that .update() succeeded,
and the core will call sbp2's .update() for the new bus reset as well.
This improves reconnection/re-login especially on buses with several
disks as they may issue bus resets in close succession when they come
online.

"ieee1394: use class iteration api": The two loops for (1.) driver

On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit
boundary. For example:
u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size);
always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB.
The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for
example):
#define PAGE_SHIFT 12
#define PAGE_SIZE (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
#define PAGE_MASK (~(PAGE_SIZE-1))
...
#define PAGE_ALIGN(addr) (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK)
The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with
PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary.
Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses
typeof(addr) for the mask.
Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in
include/linux/mm.h.

As it seems, some host controllers have issues that can cause them to
skip cycles now and then when using large packets. I suspect that this
is due to DMA not succeeding in time. If the transmit fifo can't contain
more than one packet (big packets), the DMA should provide a new packet
each cycle (125us). I am under the impression that my current PCI
express test system can't guarantee this.
In any case, the patch tries to provide a workaround as follows:
The DMA program descriptors are modified such that when an error occurs,
the DMA engine retries the descriptor the next cycle instead of
stalling. This way no data is lost. The side effect of this is that
packets are sent with one cycle delay. This however might not be that
much of a problem for certain protocols (e.g. AM824). If they use
padding packets for e.g. rate matching they can drop one of those to
resync the streams.
The amount of skips between two userspace wakeups is counted. This
number is then propagated to userspace through the upper 16 bits of the
'dropped' parameter. This allows unmodified userspace applications due
to the following:
1) libraw simply passes this dropped parameter to the user application
2) the meaning of the dropped parameter is: if it's nonzero, something

account for them if needed.

The local node's speed is not correctly propagated to the speeds
which are to be used to access remote nodes.

The failure path of ohci1394_pci_probe() reuses ohci1394_pci_remove().
Doing so it missed to call ohci1394_pmac_off() in a few unlikely early
error cases.
