* ieee1394: remove the old IEEE 1394 driver stackStefan Richter2010-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The drivers - ohci1394 (controller driver) - ieee1394 (core) - dv1394, raw1394, video1394 (userspace ABI) - eth1394, sbp2 (protocol drivers) are replaced by - firewire-ohci (controller driver) - firewire-core (core and userspace ABI) - firewire-net, firewire-sbp2 (protocol drivers) which are more featureful, better performing, and more secure than the older drivers; all with a smaller and more modern code base. The driver firedtv in drivers/media/dvb/firewire/ contains backends to both ieee1394 and firewire-core. Its ieee1394 backend code can be removed in an independent commit; firedtv as-is builds and works fine without ieee1394. The driver pcilynx (an incomplete controller driver) is deleted without replacement since PCILynx cards are extremely rare. Owners of these cards use them with the stand-alone bus sniffer driver nosy instead. The drivers nosy and init_ohci1394_dma which do not interact with either of the two IEEE 1394 stacks are not affected by the ieee1394 subsystem removal. There are still some issues with the newer firewire subsystem compared to the older one: - The rare and quirky controllers ALi M52xx, Apple UniNorth v1, NVIDIA NForce2 are even less well supported by firewire-ohci than by ohci1394. I am looking into the M52xx issue. - The experimental firewire-net is reportedly less stable than its experimental cousin eth1394. - Audio playback of a certain group of audio devices (ones based on DICE chipset with EAP; supported by prerelease FFADO code) does not work yet. This issue is still under investigation. - There were some ieee1394 based out-of-the-mainline drivers. Of them, only lisight, an audio driver for iSight webcams, seems still useful. Work is underway to reimplement it on top of firewire-core. All these remainig issues are minor; they should not stand in the way of overall better user experience of IEEE 1394 on Linux, together with a reduction in support efforts and maintenance burden. The coexistence of two IEEE 1394 kernel driver stacks in the mainline since 2.6.22 shall end now, as announced earlier this year. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
* firesat: copyrights, rename to firedtv, API conversions, fix remote control ↵Stefan Richter2009-02-24

Per default, various media key keycodes are emitted which closely match what is printed on the remote. Userland can modify the mapping by means of evdev ioctls. (Not tested.) The old scancode-to-keycode mapping is left in the driver but cannot be modified by ioctls. This preserves status quo for old remotes. Tue, 26 Aug 2008 00:11:28 +0200 (CEST) firedtv: replace tasklet by workqueue job Non-atomic context is a lot nicer to work with. Sun, 24 Aug 2008 23:30:00 +0200 (CEST) firedtv: move some code back to ieee1394 core Partially reverts "ieee1394: remove unused code" of Linux 2.6.25. Sun, 24 Aug 2008 23:29:30 +0200 (CEST) firedtv: replace semaphore by mutex firesat->avc_sem and ->demux_sem have been used exactly like a mutex. The only exception is the schedule_remotecontrol tasklet which did a down_trylock in atomic context. This is not possible with mutex_trylock; however the whole remote control related code is non-functional anyway at the moment. This should be fixed eventually, probably by turning the tasklet into a worqueue job. Convert everything else from semaphore to mutex. Also rewrite a few of the affected functions to unlock the mutex at a single exit point, instead of in several branches. Sun, 24 Aug 2008 23:28:45 +0200 (CEST) firedtv: some header cleanups Unify #ifndef/#define/#endif guards against multiple inclusion. Drop extern keyword from function declarations. Remove #include's into header files where struct declarations suffice. Remove unused ohci1394 interface and related unused ieee1394 interfaces. Add a few missing #include's and remove a few apparently obsolete ones. Sort them alphabetically. Sun, 24 Aug 2008 23:27:45 +0200 (CEST) firedtv: nicer registration message and some initialization fixes Print the correct name in dvb_register_adapter(). While we are at it, replace two switch cascades by one for loop, remove a superfluous member of struct firesat and of two unused arguments of AVCIdentifySubunit(), and fix bogus kfree's in firesat_dvbdev_init(). Tue, 26 Aug 2008 14:24:17 +0200 (CEST) firesat: rename to firedtv Suggested by Andreas Monitzer. Besides DVB-S/-S2 receivers, the driver also supports DVB-C and DVB-T receivers, hence the previous project name is too narrow now. Not yet done: Rename source directory, files, types, variables...

* ieee1394: rawiso: requeue packet for transmission after skipped cyclePieter Palmers2008-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As it seems, some host controllers have issues that can cause them to skip cycles now and then when using large packets. I suspect that this is due to DMA not succeeding in time. If the transmit fifo can't contain more than one packet (big packets), the DMA should provide a new packet each cycle (125us). I am under the impression that my current PCI express test system can't guarantee this. In any case, the patch tries to provide a workaround as follows: The DMA program descriptors are modified such that when an error occurs, the DMA engine retries the descriptor the next cycle instead of stalling. This way no data is lost. The side effect of this is that packets are sent with one cycle delay. This however might not be that much of a problem for certain protocols (e.g. AM824). If they use padding packets for e.g. rate matching they can drop one of those to resync the streams. The amount of skips between two userspace wakeups is counted. This number is then propagated to userspace through the upper 16 bits of the 'dropped' parameter. This allows unmodified userspace applications due to the following: 1) libraw simply passes this dropped parameter to the user application 2) the meaning of the dropped parameter is: if it's nonzero, something bad has happened. The actual value of the parameter at this moment does not have a specific meaning. A libraw client can then retrieve the number of skipped cycles and account for them if needed.

* [PATCH] Sync up ieee-1394Ben Collins2005-07-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Lots of this patch is trivial code cleanups (static vars were being intialized to 0, etc). There's also some fixes for ISO transmits (max buffer handling). Aswell, we have a few fixes to disable IRM capabilites correctly. We've also disabled, by default some generally unused EXPORT symbols for the sake of cleanliness in the kernel. However, instead of removing them completely, we felt it necessary to have a config option that allowed them to be enabled for the many projects outside of the main kernel tree that use our API for driver development. The primary reason for this patch is to revert a MODE6->MODE10 RBC conversion patch from the SCSI maintainers. The new conversions handled directly in the scsi layer do not seem to work for SBP2. This patch reverts to our old working code so that users can enjoy using Firewire disks and dvd drives again. We are working with the SCSI maintainers to resolve this issue outside of the main kernel tree. We'll merge the patch once the SCSI layer's handling of the MODE10 conversion is working for us.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-16
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
