Revert commit 54672386ccf36ffa21d1de8e75624af83f9b0eeb
"firewire: ohci: fix up configuration of TI chips".
It caused massive slow-down and data corruption with a TSB82AA2 based
StarTech EC1394B2 ExpressCard and FireWire 800 harddisks.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/657081
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.firewire.user/4013

The fact that some card EEPROMs do not program these enhancements may be
related to TSB81BA3 phy chip errata, if not to bugs of TSB82AA2 itself.
We could re-add these configuration steps, but only conditional on a
whitelist of cards on which these enhancements bring a proven positive
effect.

The Ricoh FireWire controllers appear to have the non-atomic cycle

VIA VT6306, VIA VT6308, and NEC OrangeLink controllers do not write
packet event codes for received PHY packets (or perhaps write
evt_no_status, hard to tell).  Work around it by overwriting the
packet's ACK by ack_complete, so that upper layers that listen to PHY
packet reception get to see these packets.

(Also tested:  TI TSB82AA2, TI TSB43AB22/A, TI XIO2213A, Agere FW643,
JMicron JMB381 --- these do not exhibit this bug.)

Clemens proposed a quirks flag for that, IOW whitelist known misbehaving
controllers for this workaround.  Though to me it seems harmless enough
to enable for all controllers.

The log_ar_at_event() debug log will continue to show the original
status from the DMA unit.

<title>firewire: core: do not use del_timer_sync() in interrupt context</title>

Because we might be in interrupt context, replace del_timer_sync() with
del_timer().  If the timer is already running, we know that it will
clean up the transaction, so we do not need to do any further processing
in the normal transaction handler.

Many thanks to Yong Zhang for diagnosing this.

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.)

Fix I/O stalls with some 4-bay RAID enclosures which are based on
OXUF936QSE:
  - Onnto dataTale RSM4QO, old firmware (not anymore with current
    firmware),
  - inXtron Hydra Super-S LCM, old as well as current firmware
when used in RAID-5 mode, perhaps also in other RAID modes.

The stalls happen during heavy or moderate disk traffic in periods that
are a multiple of 5 minutes, roughly twice per hour.  They are caused
by the target responding too late to an ORB_Pointer register write:
The target responds after Split_Timeout, hence firewire-core cancels
the transaction, and firewire-sbp2 fails the SCSI request.  The SCSI
core retries the request, that fails again (and again), hence SCSI core
calls firewire-sbp2's abort handler (and even the Management_Agent
register write in the abort handler has the transaction timeout
problem).

During all that, the process which issued the I/O is stalled in I/O
wait state.

Meanwhile, the target actually acts on the first failed SCSI request:
It responds to the ORB_Pointer write later (seen in the kernel log as
"firewire_core: Unsolicited response") and also finishes the SCSI
request with proper status (seen in the kernel log as "firewire_sbp2:
status write for unknown orb").

So let's just ignore RCODE_CANCELLED in the transaction callback and
wait for the target to complete the ORB nevertheless.  This requires
a small modification is sbp2_cancel_orbs(); it now needs to call
orb-&gt;callback() regardless whether fw_cancel_transaction() found the
transaction unfinished or finished.

A different solution is to increase Split_Timeout on the local node.
(Tested: 2000ms timeout; maybe 1000ms or something like that works too.
200ms is insufficient.  Standard is 100ms.)  However, I rather not do
this because any software on any node could change the Split_Timeout to
something unsuitable.  Or such a large Split_Timeout may be undesirable
for other purposes.

When an ORB was canceled (Command ORB i.e. SCSI request timed out, or
Management ORB timed out), or there was a send error in the initial
transaction, we missed to drop one of the ORB's references and thus
leaked memory.

Background:
In total, we hold 3 references to each Operation Request Block:
  - 1 during sbp2_scsi_queuecommand() or sbp2_send_management_orb()
    respectively,
  - 1 for the duration of the write transaction to the ORB_Pointer or
    Management_Agent register of the target,
  - 1 for as long as the ORB stays within the lu-&gt;orb_list, until
    the ORB is unlinked from the list and the orb-&gt;callback was
    executed.

The latter one of these 3 references is finished
  - normally by sbp2_status_write() when the target wrote status
    for a pending ORB,
  - or by sbp2_cancel_orbs() in case of an ORB time-out,
  - or by complete_transaction() in case of a send error.
Of them, the latter two lacked the kref_put.

Add the missing kref_put()s.  Add comments to the gets and puts of
references for transaction callbacks and ORB callbacks so that it is
easier to see what is supposed to happen.

There is an at least theoretic race condition in which .start_iso etc.
could still be called between when the dummy driver is bound to the card
and when the children devices are being shut down.  Add dummy_start_iso
and friends.

On the other hand, .enable, .set_config_rom, .read_csr, write_csr do not
need to be implemented by the dummy driver, as commented.

<title>firewire: add isochronous multichannel reception</title>

<id>872e330e38806d835bd6c311c93ab998e2fb9058</id>
<content type='text'>
This adds the DMA context programming and userspace ABI for multichannel
reception, i.e. for listening on multiple channel numbers by means of a
single DMA context.

The use case is reception of more streams than there are IR DMA units
offered by the link layer.  This is already implemented by the older
ohci1394 + ieee1394 + raw1394 stack.  And as discussed recently on
linux1394-devel, this feature is occasionally used in practice.

The big drawbacks of this mode are that buffer layout and interrupt
generation necessarily differ from single-channel reception:  Headers
and trailers are not stripped from packets, packets are not aligned with
buffer chunks, interrupts are per buffer chunk, not per packet.

These drawbacks also cause a rather hefty code footprint to support this
rarely used OHCI-1394 feature.  (367 lines added, among them 94 lines of
added userspace ABI documentation.)

This implementation enforces that a multichannel reception context may
only listen to channels to which no single-channel context on the same
link layer is presently listening to.  OHCI-1394 would allow to overlay
single-channel contexts by the multi-channel context, but this would be
a departure from the present first-come-first-served policy of IR
context creation.

The implementation is heavily based on an earlier one by Jay Fenlason.

This adds the DMA context programming and userspace ABI for multichannel
reception, i.e. for listening on multiple channel numbers by means of a
single DMA context.

The use case is reception of more streams than there are IR DMA units
offered by the link layer.  This is already implemented by the older
ohci1394 + ieee1394 + raw1394 stack.  And as discussed recently on
linux1394-devel, this feature is occasionally used in practice.

The big drawbacks of this mode are that buffer layout and interrupt
generation necessarily differ from single-channel reception:  Headers
and trailers are not stripped from packets, packets are not aligned with
buffer chunks, interrupts are per buffer chunk, not per packet.

These drawbacks also cause a rather hefty code footprint to support this
rarely used OHCI-1394 feature.  (367 lines added, among them 94 lines of
added userspace ABI documentation.)

This implementation enforces that a multichannel reception context may
only listen to channels to which no single-channel context on the same
link layer is presently listening to.  OHCI-1394 would allow to overlay
single-channel contexts by the multi-channel context, but this would be
a departure from the present first-come-first-served policy of IR
context creation.

The implementation is heavily based on an earlier one by Jay Fenlason.
Thanks Jay.
