firewire: reorganize header files

2009-06-05T14:26:18+00:00

The three header files of firewire-core, i.e. "drivers/firewire/fw-device.h", "drivers/firewire/fw-topology.h", "drivers/firewire/fw-transaction.h", are replaced by "drivers/firewire/core.h", "include/linux/firewire.h". The latter includes everything which a firewire high-level driver (like firewire-sbp2) needs besides linux/firewire-constants.h, while core.h contains the rest which is needed by firewire-core itself and by low- level drivers (card drivers) like firewire-ohci. High-level drivers can now also reside outside of drivers/firewire without having to add drivers/firewire to the header file search path in makefiles. At least the firedtv driver will be such a driver. I also considered to spread the contents of core.h over several files, one for each .c file where the respective implementation resides. But it turned out that most core .c files will end up including most of the core .h files. Also, the combined core.h isn't unreasonably big, and it will lose more of its contents to linux/firewire.h anyway soon when more firewire drivers are added. (IP-over-1394, firedtv, and there are plans for one or two more.) Furthermore, fw-ohci.h is renamed to ohci.h. The name of core.h and ohci.h is chosen with regard to name changes of the .c files in a follow-up change. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter

firewire: core: optimize propagation of BROADCAST_CHANNEL

2009-03-24T19:56:52+00:00

Cache the test result of whether a device implements BROADCAST_CHANNEL. This minimizes traffic on the bus after each bus reset. A majority of devices does not implement BROADCAST_CHANNEL. Remove busy retries; just rely on the hardware to retry requests to busy responders. Remove unnecessary log messages. Rename the flag is_irm to broadcast_channel_allocated to better reflect its meaning. Reset the flag earlier in fw_core_handle_bus_reset. Pass the generation down as a call parameter; that way generation can't be newer than card->broadcast_channel_allocated and device->node_id. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter

firewire: cdev: add closure to async stream ioctl

2009-03-24T19:56:50+00:00

This changes the as yet unreleased FW_CDEV_IOC_SEND_STREAM_PACKET ioctl to generate an fw_cdev_event_response event just like the other two ioctls for asynchronous request transmission do. This way, clients get feedback on successful or unsuccessful transmission. This also adds input validation for length, tag, channel, sy, speed. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter

firewire: broadcast channel support

2009-03-24T19:56:49+00:00

This patch adds the ISO broadcast channel support that is required of a 1394a IRM. In specific, if the local device the IRM, it allocates ISO channel 31 and sets the broadcast channel register of all devices on the local bus to BROADCAST_CHANNEL_INITIAL | BROADCAST_CHANNEL_VALID to indicate that channel 31 can be use for broadcast messages. One minor complication is that on startup the local device may become IRM before all the devices on the bus have been enumerated by the stack. Therefore we have to keep a "the local device is IRM" flag and possibly set the broadcast channel register of new devices at enumeration time.

firewire: implement asynchronous stream transmission

2009-03-24T19:56:49+00:00

Allow userspace and other firewire drivers (fw-ipv4 I'm looking at you!) to send Asynchronous Transmit Streams as described in 7.8.3 of release 1.1 of the 1394 Open Host Controller Interface Specification. Signed-off-by: Jay Fenlason Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter (tweaks)

firewire: cdev: add ioctls for isochronous resource management

2009-03-24T19:56:43+00:00

Based on Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2008 11:41:27 -0500 From: Jay Fenlason Subject: [Patch V4] Add ISO resource management support with several changes to the ABI and implementation. Only the part of the ABI which enables auto-reallocation and auto-deallocation is included here. This implements ioctls for kernel-assisted allocation of isochronous channels and isochronous bandwidth. The benefits are: - The client does not have to have write access to the /dev/fw* device corresponding to the IRM. - The client does not have to perform reallocation after bus resets. - Channel and bandwidth are deallocated by the kernel if the file is closed before the client deallocated the resources. Thus resources are released even if the client crashes. It is anticipated that future in-kernel code (firewire-core IRM code; the firewire port of firedtv), will use the fw-iso.c portions of this code too.

firewire: prevent creation of multiple IR DMA contexts for the same channel

2009-03-24T19:56:41+00:00

OHCI-1394 1.1 clause 10.4.3 says: "If more than one IR DMA context specifies receives for packets from the same isochronous channel, the context destination for that channel's packets is undefined." Any userspace client and in the future also kernelspace clients can allocate IR DMA contexts for any channel. We don't want them to interfere with each other, hence it is preferable to return -EBUSY if allocation of a second context for a channel is attempted. Notes: - This limitation is OHCI-1394 specific, therefore its proper place of implementation is down in the low-level driver. - Since the ABI simply maps one userspace iso client context to one hardware iso context, this OHCI-1394 limitation alas requires userspace to implement its own multiplexing of iso reception from the same channel and card to multiple clients when needed. - The limitation is independent of channel allocation at the IRM; the latter is really only important for the initiation of iso transmission but not of iso reception. - We don't need to do the same for IT DMA because OHCI-1394 does not have any ties between IT contexts and channels. Only the voluntary channel allocation protocol via the IRM, globally to the FireWire bus, can ensure proper isochronous transmit behaviour anyway. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter
