firewire: core: ignore link-active bit of new nodes, fix device recognition
firewire: sbp2: revert obsolete 'fix stall with "Unsolicited response"'
firewire: core: increase default SPLIT_TIMEOUT value
firewire: ohci: Misleading kfree in ohci.c::pci_probe/remove
firewire: ohci: omit IntEvent.busReset check rom AT queueing
firewire: ohci: prevent starting of iso contexts with empty queue
firewire: ohci: prevent iso completion callbacks after context stop
firewire: core: rename some variables
firewire: nosy: should work on Power Mac G4 PCI too
firewire: core: fix card->reset_jiffies overflow
firewire: cdev: remove unneeded reference
firewire: cdev: always wait for outbound transactions to complete
firewire: cdev: remove unneeded idr_find() from complete_transaction()
firewire: ohci: log dead DMA contexts
The first board generation of Power Mac G4 ("Yikes!", those with PCI
graphics) still had a PCILynx controller like their G3 predecessors,
but not the later AGP models. (Jonathan Woithe recalls to have heard
of it, and some web sources reinforce it.)

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.

Works almost perfectly. I can still see RCODE_BUSY errors
sometimes, not very often though. 64K here eliminates these errors
completely. This is most likely due to nouveau drivers and lowest
perf level I use to lower card temperature. That increases
latencies too much I think. Besides that the IO is just perfect.

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.

This adds nosy-dump, the userspace part of nosy, the IEEE 1394 traffic
sniffer for Texas Instruments PCILynx/ PCILynx2 based cards. Author is
Kristian Høgsberg.
The files added here are taken from
git://anongit.freedesktop.org/~krh/nosy commit ee29be97 (2009-11-10)
with the following changes by Stefan Richter:
- Parts pertaining to the kernel module removed from Makefile.
- dist target removed from the Makefile.
- Mentioned nosy-dump in the Kconfig help to nosy's kernel component.
- Add copyright notice to nosy-dump.c. This is a duplicate of the
respective notice in the kernel component nosy.c except for a time
span of 2002 - 2006, according to Kristian's git log.

This adds the traffic sniffer driver for Texas Instruments PCILynx/
PCILynx2 based cards. The use cases for nosy are analysis of
nonstandard protocols and as an aid in development of drivers,
applications, or firmwares.
Author of the driver is Kristian Høgsberg. Known contributers are
Jody McIntyre and Jonathan Woithe.
Nosy programs PCILynx chips to operate in promiscuous mode, which is a
feature that is not found in OHCI-1394 controllers. Hence, only special
hardware as mentioned in the Kconfig help text is suitable for nosy.
This is only the kernelspace part of nosy. There is a userspace
interface to it, called nosy-dump, proposed to be added into the tools/
subdirectory of the kernel sources in a subsequent change. Kernelspace
and userspave component of nosy communicate via a 'misc' character
device file called /dev/nosy with a simple ioctl() and read() based
protocol, as described by nosy-user.h.
The files added here are taken from
git://anongit.freedesktop.org/~krh/nosy commit ee29be97 (2009-11-10)

- Kconfig and Makefile hunks are written from scratch.
- Commented out version printk in nosy.c.
- Included missing <linux/sched.h>, reported by Stephen Rothwell.

As a low-level IEEE 1394 driver, its files are placed into
drivers/firewire/ although nosy is not part of the firewire driver
stack.

Update the Kconfig help texts of both stacks to encourage a general move
from the older to the newer drivers. However, do not label ieee1394 as
"Obsolete" yet, as the newer drivers have not been deployed as default
stack in the majority of Linux distributions yet, and those who start
doing so now may still want to install the old drivers as fallback for
unforeseen issues.
Since Linux 2.6.32, FireWire audio devices can be driven by the newer
firewire driver stack too, hence remove an outdated comment about audio
devices. Also remove comments about library versions since the 2nd
generation of libraw1394 and libdc1394 is now in common use; details on
library versions can be read at the wiki link from the help texts.

The new stack is now recommended over the old one if used for industrial
video (IIDC/DCAM) or for storage devices (SBP-2) due to better
performance, improved compatibility, added features, and security. It
should also be functionally on par with and is more secure than the old
ieee1394 stack in the use case of consumer video devices.
IP-over-1394 support for the new stack is currently emerging, and a
backend of the firedtv DVB driver to the new stack should be available
soon.
The one remaining area where the old stack is still required are audio
devices, as the new stack is not yet able to support the FFADO FireWire
audio framework.

This adds debug printks for asynchronous transmission and reception and

Also added: Logging of interrupt event codes and of cancelled AT
packets.
The code now depends on a Kconfig variable. This makes it easier to
build firewire-ohci without the feature or to make it an option in the
future. The variable is currently hidden and always on.
This feature inflates firewire-ohci.ko by 7 kB = 27% on x86-64 and by
4 kB = 23% on i686.

Alas that won't work so good, because nobody reads help texts.
I thought about adding some crude multiple choice selection (build the
old stack, build the new stack, build both stacks). It's possible, but
it would introduce awkward dummy config variables.
