FireWire upper layer drivers are converted from generic
struct driver.probe() and .remove()
to bus-specific
struct fw_driver.probe() and .remove().
The new .probe() adds a const struct ieee1394_device_id *id argument,
indicating the entry in the driver's device identifiers table which
matched the fw_unit to be probed. This new argument is used by the
snd-firewire-speakers driver to look up device-specific parameters and
methods. There is at least one other FireWire audio driver currently in
development in which this will be useful too.
The new .remove() drops the unused error return code.
Although all in-tree drivers are being converted to the new methods,
support for the old methods is left in place in this commit. This
allows public developer trees to merge this commit and then move to the
new fw_driver methods.

Add a new constant ETH_P_802_3_MIN, the minimum ethernet type for
an 802.3 frame. Frames with a lower value in the ethernet type field
are Ethernet II.
Also update all the users of this value that David Miller and
I could find to use the new constant.
Also correct a bug in util.c. The comparison with ETH_P_802_3_MIN
should be >= not >.
As suggested by Jesse Gross.
Compile tested only.

packet inspection.
Inspection of upper layer protocol is considered harmful, especially
if it is about ARP or other stateful upper layer protocol; driver
cannot (and should not) have full state of them.
IPv4 over Firewire module used to inspect ARP (both in sending path
and in receiving path), and record peer's GUID, max packet size, max
speed and fifo address. This patch removes such inspection by extending
our "hardware address" definition to include other information as well:
max packet size, max speed and fifo. By doing this, The neighbour
module in networking subsystem can cache them.
Note: As we have started ignoring sspd and max_rec in ARP/NDP, those
information will not be used in the driver when sending.
When a packet is being sent, the IP layer fills our pseudo header with
the extended "hardware address", including GUID and fifo. The driver
can look-up node-id (the real but rather volatile low-level address)
by GUID, and then the module can send the packet to the wire using
parameters provided in the extendedn hardware address.
This approach is realistic because IP over IEEE1394 (RFC2734) and IPv6
over IEEE1394 (RFC3146) share same "hardware address" format
in their address resolution protocols.
Here, extended "hardware address" is defined as follows:
union fwnet_hwaddr {
u8 u[16];
struct {
__be64 uniq_id; /* EUI-64 */
u8 max_rec; /* max packet size */
u8 sspd; /* max speed */
__be16 fifo_hi; /* hi 16bits of FIFO addr */
__be32 fifo_lo; /* lo 32bits of FIFO addr */
} __packed uc;
};
Note that Hardware address is declared as union, so that we can map full
IP address into this, when implementing MCAP (Multicast Cannel Allocation
Protocol) for IPv6, but IP and ARP subsystem do not need to know this
format in detail.
One difference between original ARP (RFC826) and 1394 ARP (RFC2734)
is that 1394 ARP Request/Reply do not contain the target hardware address
field (aka ar$tha). This difference is handled in the ARP subsystem.

Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de> says:
| As far as I can tell, it would be best to ignore max_rec and sspd from ARP
| and NDP but keep using the respective information from firewire-core
| instead (handed over by fwnet_probe()).
|
| Why? As I noted earlier, RFC 2734:1999 and RFC 3146:2001 were apparently
| written with a too simplistic notion of IEEE 1394 bus topology, resulting
| in max_rec and sspd in ARP-1394 and NDP-1394 to be useless, IMO.
|
| Consider a bus like this:
|
| A ---- B ==== C
|
| A, B, C are all IP-over-1394 capable nodes. ---- is an S400 cable hop,
| and ==== is an S800 cable hop.
|
| In case of unicasts or multicasts in which node A is involved as
| transmitter or receiver, as well as in case of broadcasts, the speeds
| S100, S200, S400 work and speed S400 is optimal.
|
| In case of anything else, IOW in case of unicasts or multicasts in which
| only nodes B and C are involved, the speeds S100, S200, S400, S800 work
| and speed S800 is optimal.
|
| Clearly, node A should indicate sspd = S400 in its ARP or NDP packets.
| But which sspd should nodes B and C set there? Maybe they set S400, which
| would work but would waste half of the available bandwidth in the second
| case. Or maybe they set S800, which is OK in the second case but would
| prohibit any communication with node A if blindly taken for correct.
|
| On the other hand, firewire-core *always* gives us the correct and optimum
| peer-to-peer speed and asynchronous packet payload, no matter how simple
| or complex the bus topology is and no matter in which temporal order nodes
| join the bus and are discovered.

This patch fixes both the transmit and receive portion of sending
fragmented mutlicast and broadcast packets.
The transmit section was broken because the offset for INTFRAG and
LASTFRAG packets were just miscalculated by IEEE1394_GASP_HDR_SIZE (which
was reserved with skb_push() in fwnet_send_packet).
The receive section was broken because in fwnet_incoming_packet is a call
to fwnet_peer_find_by_node_id(). Called with generation == -1 it will
not find a peer and the partial datagrams are associated to a peer.
[Stefan R: The fix to use context->card->generation is not perfect.
It relies on the IR tasklet which processes packets from the prior bus
generation to run before the self-ID-complete worklet which sets the
current card generation. Alas, there is no simple way of a race-free
implementation. Let's do it this way for now.]

Change the log line prefix from "firewire_net: " to "net firewire0: "
etc. for the case that several RFC 2734 interfaces are being used in the
same machine.
Note, the netdev_printk API is not very useful to firewire-net.
netdev_notice(net, "abc\n") would result in irritating messages like
"firewire_ohci 0000:0a:00.0: firewire0: abc". Nor would a dev_printk on
the fw_unit.device to which firewire-net is being bound be useful,
because there are generally multiple ones of those per interface (from
all RFC 2734 peers on the bus, the local node being only one of them).
In the initialization message of each interface, log the PCI device
name of the card which is parent of the netdevice instead of the GUID
of the peer which was semi-randomly used to establish the netdevice.

On second thought, there is little reason to have driver name differ
from module name. Therefore, change
/sys/bus/firewire/drivers/net
/sys/bus/firewire/devices/fw0.0/driver -> [...]/net
/sys/module/firewire_net/drivers/firewire:net
to
/sys/bus/firewire/drivers/firewire_net
/sys/bus/firewire/devices/fw0.0/driver -> [...]/firewire_net
/sys/module/firewire_net/drivers/firewire:firewire_net
It is redundant but consistent with firewire-sbp2's recently changed
driver name.

Change memory region to ohci "middle address space". This effectively
reduces the number of packets by 50%.
[Stefan R.:] This eliminates 1394 ack packets and improved throughput
by a few percent in some tests with an S400a connection with and without
gap count optimization. Since firewire-net taxes the AR-req DMA unit of
a FireWire controller much more than firewire-sbp2 (which uses the
middle address space with PCI posted writes too), this commit also
changes a related error printk into a ratelimited one as a precaution.
Side note: The IPv4-over-1394 drivers of Mac OS X 10.4, Windows XP SP3,
and the Thesycon 1394 bus driver for Windows all use the middle address
space too.

When queueing iso packets, the run time is dominated by the two
MMIO accesses that set the DMA context's wake bit. Because most
drivers submit packets in batches, we can save much time by
removing all but the last wakeup.
The internal kernel API is changed to require a call to
fw_iso_context_queue_flush() after a batch of queued packets.
The user space API does not change, so one call to
FW_CDEV_IOC_QUEUE_ISO must specify multiple packets to take
advantage of this optimization.
In my measurements, this patch reduces the time needed to queue
fifty skip packets from userspace to one sixth on a 2.5 GHz CPU,
or to one third at 800 MHz.

At ifup, carrier status would be shown on even if it actually was off.
Also add an include for ethtool_ops rather than to rely on the one from
netdevice.h.
Note, we can alas not use fwnet_device_mutex to serialize access to
dev->peer_count (as I originally wanted). This would cause a lock
inversion:
- fwnet_probe | takes fwnet_device_mutex
+ register_netdev | takes rtnl_mutex
- devinet_ioctl | takes rtnl_mutex
+ fwnet_open | ...must not take fwnet_device_mutex
Hence use the dev->lock spinlock for serialization.

This prevents firewire-net from submitting write requests in fast
succession until failure due to all 64 transaction labels were used up
for unfinished split transactions. The netif_stop/wake_queue API is
used for this purpose.
Without this stop/wake mechanism, datagrams were simply lost whenever
the tlabel pool was exhausted. Plus, tlabel exhaustion by firewire-net
also prevented other unrelated outbound transactions to be initiated.
The chosen queue depth was checked by me to hit the maximum possible
throughput with an OS X peer whose receive DMA is good enough to never
reject requests due to busy inbound request FIFO. Current Linux peers
show a mixed picture of -5%...+15% change in bandwidth; their current
bottleneck are RCODE_BUSY situations (fewer or more, depending on TX
queue depth) due to too small AR buffer in firewire-ohci.
Maxim Levitsky tested this change with similar watermarks with a Linux
peer and some pending firewire-ohci improvements that address the
RCODE_BUSY problem and confirmed that these TX queue limits are good.
Note: This removes some netif_wake_queue from reception code paths.
They were apparently copy&paste artefacts from a nonsensical
netif_wake_queue use in the older eth1394 driver. This belongs only
into the transmit path.

The current transmit code does not at all make use of
- fwnet_device.packet_list
and only very limited use of
- fwnet_device.broadcasted_list,
- fwnet_device.queued_packets.
Their current function is to track whether the TX soft-IRQ finished
dealing with an skb when the AT-req tasklet takes over, and to discard
pending tx datagrams (if there are any) when the local node is removed.
The latter does actually contain a race condition bug with TX soft-IRQ
and AT-req tasklet.
Instead of these lists and the corresponding link in fwnet_packet_task,
- a flag in fwnet_packet_task to track whether fwnet_tx is done,
- a counter of queued datagrams in fwnet_device
do the job as well.
The above mentioned theoretic race condition is resolved by letting
fwnet_remove sleep until all datagrams were flushed. It may sleep
almost arbitrarily long since fwnet_remove is executed in the context of
a multithreaded (concurrency managed) workqueue.
The type of max_payload is changed to u16 here to avoid waste in struct
fwnet_packet_task. This value cannot exceed 4096 per IEEE 1394:2008
table 16-18 (or 32678 per specification of packet headers, if there is
ever going to be something else than beta mode).

a) fwnet_transmit_packet_done used to poison ptask->pt_link by list_del.
If fwnet_send_packet checked later whether it was responsible to clean
up (in the border case that the TX soft IRQ was outpaced by the AT-req
tasklet on another CPU), it missed this because ptask->pt_link was no
longer shown as empty.
b) If fwnet_write_complete got an rcode other than RCODE_COMPLETE, we
missed to free the skb and ptask entirely.

The incoming request hander fwnet_receive_packet() expects subsequent
datagram handling code to return non-zero on errors. However, almost
none of the failure paths did so. Fix them all.
(This error reporting is used to send and RCODE_CONFLICT_ERROR to the
sender node in such failure cases. Two modes of failure exist: Out of
memory, or firewire-net is unaware of any peer node to which a fragment
or an ARP packet belongs. However, it is unclear whether a sender can
actually make use of such information. A Linux peer apparently can't.
Maybe it should all be simplified to void functions.)

The driver name and bus address for a net_device can normally be found

operation, use the driver model to do so if the driver does not define
the operation. Since ETHTOOL_GDRVINFO no longer requires the driver
to implement any operations, do not require net_device::ethtool_ops to

void (*fw_address_callback_t)(..., int speed, ...) is the speed that a
remote node chose to transmit a request to us. In case of split
transactions, firewire-core will transmit the response at that speed.
Upper layer drivers on the other hand (firewire-net, -sbp2, firedtv, and
userspace drivers) cannot do anything useful with that speed datum,
except log it for debug purposes. But data that is merely potentially
(not even actually) used for debug purposes does not belong into the API.

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

In the transmit path of firewire-net (IPv4 over 1394), the following
race condition may occur:
- The networking soft IRQ inserts a datagram into the 1394 async
request transmit DMA.
- The 1394 async transmit completion tasklet runs to finish cleaning
up (unlink datagram from list of pending ones, release skb and
outbound 1394 transaction object) --- before the networking soft IRQ
had a chance to proceed and add the datagram to the list of pending
datagrams.
This caused a panic in the 1394 async transmit completion tasklet when
it dereferenced unitialized list heads:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15077
The fix is to add checks in the tx soft IRQ and in the tasklet to
determine which of these two is the last referrer to the transaction
object. Then handle the cleanup of the object by the last referrer
rather than assuming that the tasklet is always the last one.
There is another similar race: Between said tasklet and fwnet_close,
i.e. at ifdown. However, that race is much less likely to occur in
practice and shall be fixed in a separate update.

The generic packet receive code takes care of setting
netdev->last_rx when necessary, for the sake of the
bonding ARP monitor.
