The SPLIT_TIMEOUT mechanism is intended to detect requests that somehow
got lost. However, when the timeout value is too low, transactions that
could have been completed successfully will be cancelled. Furthermore,
there are chips whose firmwares ignore the configured split timeout and
send late split response; known examples are the DM1x00 (BeBoB), TCD22x0
(DICE), and some OXUF936QSE firmwares.
This patch changes the default timeout to two seconds, which happens to
be the default on other OSes, too.
Actual lost requests are extremely rare, so there should be no practical
downside to increasing the split timeout even on devices that work
correctly.

It seems drivers/firewire/ohci.c is making some optimistic assumptions
about struct fw_ohci and that member "card" will always remain the first
member of the struct.
Plus it's probably going to confuse a lot of static code analyzers too.
So I wonder if there is a good reason not to free the ohci struct just
like it was allocated instead of the tricky &ohci->card way?

Since commit 82b662dc4102 "flush AT contexts after bus reset for OHCI 1.2",
the driver takes care of any AT packets that were enqueued during a bus
reset phase. The check from commit 76f73ca1b291 is therefore no longer
necessary and the MMIO read can be avoided.

If a misguided program tried to start an isochronous context before it
has queued any packets, the call would appear to succeed, but the
context would not actually go into the running state, and the OHCI
controller would then raise an unrecoverableError interrupt because the
first Z value is zero and thus invalid. The driver logs such errors,
but there is no mechanism to report this back to the program.
Add an explicit check so that this error can be returned synchronously.

On a 32-bit machine with, e.g., HZ=1000, jiffies will overflow after

Regression since commit 10389536742c, "firewire: core: check for 1394a
compliant IRM, fix inaccessibility of Sony camcorder":
The camcorder Canon MV5i generates lots of bus resets when asynchronous
requests are sent to it (e.g. Config ROM read requests or FCP Command
write requests) if the camcorder is not root node. This causes drop-
outs in videos or makes the camcorder entirely inaccessible.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=633260
Fix this by allowing any Canon device, even if it is a pre-1394a IRM
like MV5i are, to remain root node (if it is at least Cycle Master
capable). With the FireWire controller cards that I tested, MV5i always
becomes root node when plugged in and left to its own devices.

Instead of starting the split transaction timeout timer when any request
is submitted, start it only when the destination's ACK_PENDING has been
received. This prevents us from using a timeout that is too short, and,
if the controller's AT queue is emptying very slowly, from cancelling
a packet that has not yet been sent.

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

Move the AR DMA descriptors out of the buffer pages, and map the buffer
pages linearly into the kernel's address space. This allows the driver
to ignore any page boundaries in the DMA data and thus to avoid any
copying around of packet payloads.
This fixes the bug where S800 packets that are so big (> 4080 bytes)
that they can be split over three pages were not handled correctly.
Due to the changed algorithm, we can now use arbitrarily many buffer
pages, which improves performance because the controller can more easily
unload its DMA FIFO.
Furthermore, using streaming DMA mappings should improve perfomance on
architectures where coherent DMA mappings are not cacheable. Even on
other architectures, the caching behaviour should be improved slightly
because the CPU no longer writes to the buffer pages.
v2: Detect the last filled buffer page by searching the descriptor's
residual count value fields in order (like in the old code), instead
of going backwards through the transfer status fields; it looks as
if some controllers do not set the latter correctly.
v3: Fix an old resume bug that would now make the handler run into
a BUG_ON, and replace that check with more useful error handling.
Increase the buffer size for better performance with non-TI chips.

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.

Move the mid-layer's ->queuecommand() invocation from being locked
with the host lock to being unlocked to facilitate speeding up the
critical path for drivers who don't need this lock taken anyway.
The patch below presents a simple SCSI host lock push-down as an
equivalent transformation. No locking or other behavior should change
with this patch. All existing bugs and locking orders are preserved.
Additionally, add one parameter to queuecommand,
struct Scsi_Host *
and remove one parameter from queuecommand,
void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *)
Scsi_Host* is a convenient pointer that most host drivers need anyway,
and 'done' is redundant to struct scsi_cmnd->scsi_done.
Minimal code disturbance was attempted with this change. Most drivers
needed only two one-line modifications for their host lock push-down.

If the controller is storing a split packet and therefore changing

an end pointer that is not at a packet boundary, and therefore overflow

When handling an AR buffer that has been completely filled, we assumed
that its descriptor will not be read by the controller and can be
overwritten. However, when the last received packet happens to end at
the end of the buffer, the controller might not yet have moved on to the
next buffer and might read the branch address later. If we overwrite
and free the page before that, the DMA context will either go dead
because of an invalid Z value, or go off into some random memory.
To fix this, ensure that the descriptor does not get overwritten by
using only the actual buffer instead of the entire page for reassembling
the split packet. Furthermore, to avoid freeing the page too early,
move on to the next buffer only when some data in it guarantees that the
controller has moved on.
This should eliminate the remaining firewire-net problems.

When the controller had to split a received asynchronous packet into two
buffers, the driver tries to reassemble it by copying both parts into
the first page. However, if size + rest > PAGE_SIZE, i.e., if the yet
unhandled packets before the split packet, the split packet itself, and
any received packets after the split packet are together larger than one
page, then the memory after the first page would get overwritten.
To fix this, do not try to copy the data of all unhandled packets at
once, but copy the possibly needed data every time when handling
a packet.
This gets rid of most of the infamous crashes and data corruptions when
using firewire-net.
