There's an ugly little memory leak in firewire-ohci's
ar_context_tasklet(), where we're not freeing up some of the memory we
use for each ar_buffer, due to a moving pointer. The problem has been
there for a while, but didn't get noticed until after converting the AR
routines over to use coherent DMA and I started running into I/O stall-
outs with the following message output repeatedly to the console:
PCI-DMA: Out of IOMMU space for 53248 bytes at device 0000:04:09.0
Plugging this leak is definitely necessary, but unfortunately, isn't the
entire answer to my problem, it only increases the amount of I/O that I
can do before hitting the problem. Still working on tracking down the
root cause..

Per the SBP-2 specification, all SBP-2 target devices must have a BUSY_TIMEOUT
register. Per the 1394-1995 specification, the retry_limt portion of the
register should be set to 0x0 initially, and set on the target by a logged in
initiator (i.e., a Linux host w/firewire controller(s)).
Well, as it turns out, lots of devices these days have actually moved on to
starting to implement SBP-3 compliance, which says that retry_limit should
default to 0xf instead (yes, SBP-3 stomps directly on 1394-1995, oops).
Prior to this change, the firewire driver stack didn't touch retry_limit, and
any SBP-3 compliant device worked fine, while SBP-2 compliant ones were unable
to retransmit when the host returned an ack_busy_X, which resulted in stalled
out I/O, eventually causing the SCSI layer to give up and offline the device.
The simple fix is for us to set retry_limit to 0xf in the register for all
devices (which actually matches what the old ieee1394 stack did).
Prior to this change, a hard disk behind an SBP-2 Prolific PL-3507 bridge chip
would routinely encounter buffer I/O errors and wind up offlined by the SCSI
layer. With this change, I've encountered zero I/O failures moving tens of GB
of data around.

Fix a kernel bug when unplugging an SBP-2 device after having its
scsi_device already removed via the "delete" sysfs attribute.
Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
While fw-sbp2 takes the necessary time to reconnect to a logical unit
after bus reset, the SCSI core keeps sending new commands. They are all
immediately completed with host busy status, and application clients or
filesystems will break quickly. The SCSI device might even be taken
offline: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9734
The only remedy seems to be to block the SCSI device until reconnect.
Alas the SCSI core has no useful API to block only one logical unit i.e.
the scsi_device, therefore we block the entire Scsi_Host. This
currently corresponds to an SBP-2 target. In case of targets with
multiple logical units, we need to satisfy the dependencies between
logical units by carefully tracking the blocking state of the target and
its units. We block all logical units of a target as soon as one of
them needs to be blocked, and keep them blocked until all of them are
ready to be unblocked.
Furthermore, as the history of the old sbp2 driver has shown, the
scsi_block_requests() API is a minefield with high potential of
deadlocks. We therefore take extra measures to keep logical units
unblocked during __scsi_add_device() and during shutdown.
This avoids I/O errors during reconnect in many but alas not in all
cases. There may still be errors after a re-login had to be performed.
Also, some bridges have been seen to cease fetching management ORBs if
I/O went on up until a bus reset. In these cases, all management ORBs
time out after mgt_orb_timeout. The old sbp2 driver is less vulnerable
or maybe not vulnerable to this, for as yet unknown reasons.

fw-sbp2 is unable to reconnect while performing __scsi_add_device
because there is only a single workqueue thread context available for
both at the moment. This should be fixed eventually.
An actual failure of __scsi_add_device is easy to handle, but an
incomplete execution of __scsi_add_device with an sdev returned would
remain undetected and leave the SBP-2 target unusable.
Therefore we use a workaround: If there was a bus reset during
__scsi_add_device (i.e. during the SCSI probe), we remove the new sdev
immediately, log out, and attempt login and SCSI probe again.

When a reconnect failed but re-login succeeded, __scsi_add_device was

it missed to call sbp2_cancel_orbs. SCSI core would call fw-sbp2's
eh_abort_handler eventually if there had been an outstanding command.
This patch avoids the needless lookups and temporary allocations in SCSI
core and I/O stall and timeout until eh_abort_handler hits.
Also, __scsi_add_device tolerating calls for devices which already exist

Several different SBP-2 bridges accept a login early while the IDE
device is still powering up. They are therefore unable to respond to
SCSI INQUIRY immediately, and the SCSI core has to retry the INQUIRY.
One of these retries is typically successful, and all is well.
But in case of Momobay FX-3A, the INQUIRY retries tend to fail entirely.
This can usually be avoided by waiting a little while after login before
letting the SCSI core send the INQUIRY. The old sbp2 driver handles
this more gracefully for as yet unknown reasons (perhaps because it
waits for fetch agent resets to complete, unlike fw-sbp2 which quickly
proceeds after requesting the agent reset). Therefore the workaround is
not as much necessary for sbp2.

There is a race between shutdown and creation of devices: fw-core may

Impact of the bug: Happens rarely (when shutdown of a device coincides
with creation of another), forces the user to unplug and replug the new

The fix is obvious: Free the minor number *after* instead of *before*
device_unregister(). This requires to take an additional reference of
the fw_device as long as the IDR tree points to it.
And while we are at it, we fix an additional race condition:
fw_device_op_open() took its reference of the fw_device a little bit too

Ask the target to grant 4 seconds instead of the standard and minimum of
1 second window after bus reset for reconnection. This accelerates
reconnection if there are more than one targets on the bus: If a login
and inquiry to one target blocks the fw-sbp2 workqueue for more than 1s
after bus reset, we now still can reconnect to the other target.
Before that, fw-sbp2's reconnect attempts would be rejected with "error
status: 0:9" (function rejected), and fw-sbp2 would finally re-login.
All those futile reconnect attemps cost extra time until the target
which needs re-login is ready for I/O again.
The reconnect timeout field in the login ORB doesn't have to be honored
by the target though. I found that we could get up to
- allegedly 32768s from an old OXFW911 firmware
- 256s from LSI bridges
- 4s from OXUF922 and OXFW912 bridges,
- 2s from TI bridges,
- only the standard 1s from Initio and Prolific bridges and from
Apple OpenFirmware in target mode.
We just try to get 4 seconds which already covers the case of a few
HDDs on the same bus quite nicely.
A minor drawback occurs in the following (rare and impractical) border
case:
- two initiators are there, initiator 1 holds an exclusive login to
a target,
- initiator 1 goes off the bus,
- target refuses login attempts from initiator 2 until reconnect_hold
seconds after bus reset.
An alternative approach to the issue at hand would be to parallelize
fw-sbp2's reconnect and login work.

Previously, the fw-ohci driver used fixed-length buffers for storing
descriptors for isochronous receive DMA programs. If an application
(such as libdc1394) generated a DMA program that was too large, fw-ohci
would reach the limit of its fixed-sized buffer and return an error to
userspace.
This patch replaces the fixed-length ring-buffer with a linked-list of
page-sized buffers. Additional buffers can be dynamically allocated and
appended to the list when necessary. For a particular context, buffers
are kept around after use and reused as necessary, so there is no
allocation taking place after the DMA program is generated for the first
time.
In addition, the buffers it uses are coherent for DMA so there is no
syncing required before and after writes. This syncing wasn't properly
done in the previous version of the code.
-
This is the fourth version of my patch that replaces a fixed-length
buffer for DMA descriptors with a dynamically allocated linked-list of
buffers.
As we discovered with the last attempt, new context programs are
sometimes queued from interrupt context, making it unacceptable to call
tasklet_disable() from context_get_descriptors().
This version of the patch uses ohci->lock for all locking needs instead
of tasklet_disable/enable. There is a new requirement that
context_get_descriptors() be called while holding ohci->lock. It was
already held for the AT context, so adding the requirement for the iso
context did not seem particularly onerous. In addition, this has the
side benefit of allowing iso queue to be safely called from concurrent
user-space threads, which previously was not safe.

This patch corrects a number of bugs in the current OHCI 1.0
packet-per-buffer support:
1. Correctly deal with payloads that cross a page boundary. The
previous version would not split the descriptor at such a boundary,
potentially corrupting unrelated memory.
2. Allow user-space to specify multiple packets per struct
fw_cdev_iso_packet in the same way that dual-buffer allows. This is
signaled by header_length being a multiple of header_size. This
multiple determines the number of packets. The payload size allocated
per packet is determined by dividing the total payload size by the
number of packets.
3. Make sync support work properly for packet-per-buffer.
I have tested this patch with libdc1394 by forcing my OHCI 1.1
controller to use the packet-per-buffer support instead of dual-buffer.
I would greatly appreciate testing by those who have a DV devices and
other types of iso streamers to make sure I didn't cause any
regressions.
Stefan, with this patch, I'm hoping that libdc1394 will work with all
your OHCI 1.0 controllers now.

This patch fixes the problem where different OHCI 1.1 controllers behave
differently when a received iso packet straddles three or more buffers
when using the dual-buffer receive mode. Two changes are made in order
to handle this situation:
1. The packet sync DMA descriptor is given a non-zero header length and
non-zero payload length. This is because zero-payload descriptors are
not discussed in the OHCI 1.1 specs and their behavior is thus
undefined. Instead we use a header size just large enough for a single
header and a payload length of 4 bytes for this first descriptor.
2. As we process received packets in the context's tasklet, read the
packet length out of the headers. Keep track of the running total of
the packet length as "excess_bytes", so we can ignore any descriptors
where no packet starts or ends. These descriptors may not have had
their first_res_count or second_res_count fields updated by the
controller so we cannot rely on those values.
The main drawback of this patch is that the excess_bytes value might get
"out of sync" with the packet descriptors if something strange happens
to the DMA program. I'm not if such a thing could ever happen, but I
appreciate any suggestions in making it more robust.
Also, the packet-per-buffer support may need a similar fix to deal with
issue 1, but I haven't done any work on that yet.
Stefan, I'm hoping that with this patch, all your OHCI 1.1 controllers
will work properly with an unmodified version of libdc1394.

SBP2_MAX_SECTORS is nowhere used in fw-sbp2.
It merely got copied over from sbp2 where it played a role in the past.

This patch relaxes the default SCSI DMA alignment from 512 bytes to 4
bytes. I remember from previous discussions that usb and firewire have
sector size alignment requirements, so I upped their alignments in the
respective slave allocs.
The reason for doing this is so that we don't get such a huge amount of
copy overhead in bio_copy_user() for udev. (basically all inquiries it
issues can now be directly mapped).

Third rendition of FireWire OHCI 1.0 Isochronous Receive support, using a
zer-copy method similar to OHCI 1.1 which puts the IR data payload directly
into the userspace buffer. The zero-copy implementation eliminates the
video artifacts, audio popping, and buffer underrun problems seen with
version 1 of this patch, as well as fixing a regression in OHCI 1.1 support
introduced by version 2 of this patch.
Successfully tested in OHCI 1.1 mode on the following chipsets:
- NEC uPD72847 (rev 01), OHCI 1.1 (PCI)
- Ti XIO2200(A) (rev 01), OHCI 1.1 (PCIe)
- Ti TSB41AB2 (rev 01), OHCI 1.1 (PCI on SB Audigy)
- Apple UniNorth 2 (rev 81), OHCI 1.1 (PowerBook G4 onboard)
Successfully tested in OHCI 1.0 mode on the following chipsets:
- Agere FW323 (rev 06), OHCI 1.0 (Mac Mini onboard)
- Agere FW323 (rev 06), OHCI 1.0 (PCI)
- Via VT6306 (rev 46), OHCI 1.0 (PCI)
- NEC OrangeLink (rev 01), OHCI 1.0 (PCI)
- NEC uPD72847 (rev 01), OHCI 1.1 (PCI)
- Ti XIO2200(A) (rev 01), OHCI 1.1 (PCIe)
The bulk of testing was done in an x86_64 system, but was also successfully
sanity-tested on other systems, including a PPC(32) PowerBook G4 and an i686
EPIA M10k. Crude benchmarking (watching top during capture) puts the cpu
utilization during capture on the EPIA's 1GHz Via C3 processor around 13%,
which is down from 30% with the v1 code.
Some implementation details:
To maintain the same userspace API as dual-buffer mode, we set up two
descriptors for every incoming packet. The first is an INPUT_MORE descriptor,
pointing to a buffer large enough to hold just the packet's iso headers,
immediately followed by an INPUT_LAST descriptor, pointing to a chunk of the
userspace buffer big enough for the packet's data payload. With this setup,
each incoming packet fills in these two descriptors in a manner that very
closely emulates dual-buffer receive, to the point where the bulk of the
handle_ir_* code is now identical between the two (and probably primed for
some restructuring to share code between them).
The only caveat I have at the moment is that neither of my OHCI 1.0 Via
VT6307-based FireWire controllers work particularly well with this code
for reasons I have yet to figure out.
