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.

In both the ieee1394 stack and the firewire stack, the core treats
kernelspace drivers better than userspace drivers when it comes to
CSR address range allocation: The former may request a register to be
placed automatically at a free spot anywhere inside a specified address
range. The latter may only request a register at a fixed offset.
Hence, userspace drivers which do not require a fixed offset potentially
need to implement a retry loop with incremented offset in each retry
until the kernel does not fail allocation with EBUSY. This awkward
procedure is not fundamentally necessary as the core already provides a
superior allocation API to kernelspace drivers.
Therefore change the ioctl() ABI by addition of a region_end member in
the existing struct fw_cdev_allocate. Userspace and kernelspace APIs
work the same way now.
There is a small cost to pay by clients though: If client source code
is required to compile with older kernel headers too, then any use of
the new member fw_cdev_allocate.region_end needs to be enclosed by
#ifdef/#endif directives. However, any client program that seriously
wants to use address range allocations will require a kernel of cdev ABI
version >= 4 at runtime and a linux/firewire-cdev.h header of >= 4
anyway. This is because v4 brings FW_CDEV_EVENT_REQUEST2. The only
client program in which build-time compatibility with struct
fw_cdev_allocate as found in older kernel headers makes sense is
libraw1394.
(libraw1394 uses the older broken FW_CDEV_EVENT_REQUEST to implement a
makeshift, incorrect transaction responder that does at least work
somewhat in many simple scenarios, relying on guesswork by libraw1394
and by libraw1394 based applications. Plus, address range allocation
and transaction responder is only one of many features that libraw1394
needs to provide, and these other features need to work with kernel and
kernel-headers as old as possible. Any new linux/firewire-cdev.h based
client that implements a transaction responder should never attempt to
do it like libraw1394; instead it should make a header and kernel of v4
or later a hard requirement.)
While we are at it, update the struct fw_cdev_allocate documentation to
better reflect the recent fw_cdev_event_request2 ABI addition.

This extends the FW_CDEV_IOC_SEND_PHY_PACKET ioctl() for /dev/fw* to be
useful for ping time measurements. One application for it would be gap
count optimization in userspace that is based on ping times rather than
hop count. (The latter is implemented in firewire-core itself but is
not applicable to beta PHYs that act as repeater.)

Add an FW_CDEV_IOC_RECEIVE_PHY_PACKETS ioctl() and
FW_CDEV_EVENT_PHY_PACKET_RECEIVED poll()/read() event for /dev/fw*.
This can be used to get information from remote PHYs by remote access
PHY packets.
This is also the 2nd half of the functionality (the receive part) to
support a userspace implementation of a VersaPHY transaction layer.
Safety considerations:
- PHY packets are generally broadcasts, hence some kind of elevated
privileges should be required of a process to be able to listen in
on PHY packets. This implementation assumes that a process that is
allowed to open the /dev/fw* of a local node does have this
privilege.
There was an inconclusive discussion about introducing POSIX
capabilities as a means to check for user privileges for these
kinds of operations.
Other limitations:
- PHY packet reception may be switched on by ioctl() but cannot be
switched off again. It would be trivial to provide an off switch,
but this is not worth the code. The client should simply close()
the fd then, or just ignore further events.
- For sake of simplicity of API and kernel-side implementation, no
filter per packet content is provided.

Add an FW_CDEV_IOC_SEND_PHY_PACKET ioctl() for /dev/fw* which can be
used to implement bus management related functionality in userspace.
This is also half of the functionality (the transmit part) that is
needed to support a userspace implementation of a VersaPHY transaction
layer.
Safety considerations:
- PHY packets are generally broadcasts and may have interesting
effects on PHYs and the bus, e.g. make asynchronous arbitration
impossible due to too low gap count. Hence some kind of elevated
privileges should be required of a process to be able to send
PHY packets. This implementation assumes that a process that is
allowed to open the /dev/fw* of a local node does have this
privilege.
There was an inconclusive discussion about introducing POSIX
capabilities as a means to check for user privileges for these
kinds of operations.
- The kernel does not check integrity of the supplied packet data.
That would be far too much code, considering the many kinds of
PHY packets. A process which got the privilege to send these
packets is trusted to do it correctly.
Just like with the other "send packet" ioctls, a non-blocking API is
chosen; i.e. the ioctl may return even before AT DMA started. After
transmission, an event for poll()/read() is enqueued. Most users are
going to need a blocking API, but a blocking userspace wrapper is easy
to implement, and the second of the two existing libraw1394 calls
raw1394_phy_packet_write() and raw1394_start_phy_packet_write() can be
better supported that way.

Bus resets which are triggered
- by the kernel drivers after updates of the local nodes' config ROM,
- by userspace software via ioctl
shall be deferred until after >=2 seconds after the last bus reset.
If multiple modifications of the local nodes' config ROM happen in a row,
only a single bus reset should happen after them.
When the local node's link goes from inactive to active or vice versa,
and at the two occasions of bus resets mentioned above --- and if the
current gap count differs from 63 --- the bus reset should be preceded
by a PHY configuration packet that reaffirms the gap count. Otherwise a
bus manager would have to reset the bus again right after that.
This is necessary to promote bus stability, e.g. leave grace periods for
allocations and reallocations of isochronous channels and bandwidth,
SBP-2 reconnections etc.; see IEEE 1394 clause 8.2.1.
This change implements all of the above by moving bus reset initiation
into a delayed work (except for bus resets which are triggered by the
bus manager workqueue job and are performed there immediately). It
comes with a necessary addition to the card driver methods that allows
to get the current gap count from PHY registers.

The FW_ISO_ constants of the in-kernel API of firewire-core and
FW_CDEV_ISO_ constants of the userspace API of firewire-core have
nothing to do with each other --- except that the core-cdev.c
implementation relies on them having the same values.
Hence put some compile-time assertions into core-cdev.c. It's lame but
I prefer it over including the userspace API header into the kernelspace
API header and defining kernelspace API constants from userspace API
constants. Nor do I want to expose the kernelspace constants in one of
the two firewire headers that are exported to userland since this only
concerns the core-cdev.c implementation.

The problem:
A target-like userspace driver, e.g. AV/C target or SBP-2/3 target,
needs to be able to act as responder and requester. In the latter role,
it needs to send requests to nods from which it received requests. This
is currently impossible because fw_cdev_event_request lacks information
about sender node ID.

Libffado + libraw1394 + firewire-core is currently unable to drive two
or more audio devices on the same bus.
Reported-by: Arnold Krille <arnold@arnoldarts.de>
This is because libffado requires destination node ID of FCP requests
and sender node ID of FCP responses to match. It even prohibits
libffado from working with a bus on which libraw1394 opens a /dev/fw* as
default ioctl device that does not correspond with the audio device.
This is because libraw1394 does not receive the sender node ID from the
kernel.
Moreover, fw_cdev_event_request makes it impossible to tell unicast and
broadcast write requests apart.
The fix:
Add a replacement of struct fw_cdev_event_request request, boringly
called struct fw_cdev_event_request2. The new event will be sent to a
userspace client instead of the old one if the client claims
compatibility with <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI version 4 or later.
libraw1394 needs to be extended to make use of the new event, in order
to properly support libffado and other FCP or address range mapping
users who require correct sender node IDs.
Further notes:
While we are at it, change back the range of possible values of
fw_cdev_event_request.tcode to 0x0...0xb like in ABI version <= 3.
The preceding change "firewire: expose extended tcode of incoming lock
requests to (userspace) drivers" expanded it to 0x0...0x17 which could
catch sloppily coded clients by surprise. The extended range of codes
is only used in the new fw_cdev_event_request2.tcode.
Jay and I also suggested an alternative approach to fix the ABI for
incoming requests: Add an FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_REQUEST_INFO ioctl which can
be called after reception of an fw_cdev_event_request, before issuing of
the closing FW_CDEV_IOC_SEND_RESPONSE ioctl. The new ioctl would reveal
the vital information about a request that fw_cdev_event_request lacks.
Jay showed an implementation of this approach.
The former event approach adds 27 LOC of rather trivial code to
core-cdev.c, the ioctl approach 34 LOC, some of which is nontrivial.
The ioctl approach would certainly also add more LOC to userspace
programs which require the expanded information on inbound requests.
This approach is probably only on the lighter-weight side in case of
clients that want to be compatible with kernels that lack the new
capability, like libraw1394. However, the code to be added to such
libraw1394-like clients in case of the event approach is a straight-
forward additional switch () case in its event handler.

libraw1394 v2.0.0...v2.0.5 takes FW_CDEV_VERSION from an externally
installed header file and uses it to declare its own implementation
level in FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_INFO. This is wrong; it should set the real
version for which it was actually written.
If we add features to the kernel ABI that require the kernel to check
a client's implementation level, we can not trust the client version if
it was set from FW_CDEV_VERSION.
Hence freeze FW_CDEV_VERSION at the current value (no damage has been
done yet), clearly document FW_CDEV_VERSION as a dummy version and what
clients are expected to do with fw_cdev_get_info.version, and use a new
defined constant (which is not placed into the exported header file) as
kernel implementation level.
Note, in order to check in client program source code which features are
present in an externally installed linux/firewire-cdev.h, use
preprocessor directives like
#ifdef FW_CDEV_IOC_ALLOCATE_ISO_RESOURCE
or
#ifdef FW_CDEV_EVENT_ISO_RESOURCE_ALLOCATED
instead of a check of FW_CDEV_VERSION.

If a request comes in to an address range managed by a userspace driver
i.e. <linux/firewire-cdev.h> client, the card instance of request and
response may differ from the card instance of the client device.
Therefore we need to take a reference of the card until the response was
sent.
I thought about putting the reference counting into core-transaction.c,
but the various high-level drivers besides cdev clients (firewire-net,
firewire-sbp2, firedtv) use the card pointer in their fw_address_handler
address_callback method only to look up devices of which they already
hold the necessary references. So this seems to be a specific
firewire-cdev issue which is better addressed locally.
We do not need the reference
- in case of FCP_REQUEST or FCP_RESPONSE requests because then the
firewire-core will send the split transaction response for us
already in the context of the request handler,
- if it is the same card as the client device's because we hold a
card reference indirectly via teh client->device reference.
To keep things simple, we take the reference nevertheless.

While termination of inbound transcations at card removal could be
implemented, it is IMO not worth the effort. Currently, the effect of
holding a reference of a card that has been removed is to block the
process that called the pci_remove of the card. This is
- either a user process ran by root. Root can find and kill processes
that have /dev/fw* open, if desired.
- a kernel thread (which one?) in case of hot removal of a PCCard or
ExpressCard.
The latter case could be a problem indeed. firewire-core's card
shutdown and card release should probably be improved not to block in
shutdown, just to defer freeing of memory until release.
This is not a new problem though; the same already always happens with
the client->device->card without the need of inbound transactions or
other special conditions involved, other than the client not closing the
file.

My box has two firewire cards in it: card0 and card1.
My application opens /dev/fw0 (card 0) and allocates an address space.
The core makes the address space available on both cards.
Along comes the remote device, which sends a READ_QUADLET_REQUEST to
card1. The request gets passed up to my application, which calls
ioctl_send_response().
ioctl_send_response() then calls fw_send_response() with card0,
because that's the card it's bound to.
Card0's driver drops the response, because it isn't part of
a transaction that it has outstanding.
So in core-cdev: handle_request(), we need to stash the
card of the inbound request in the struct inbound_transaction_resource and
use that card to send the response to.
The hard part will be refcounting the card correctly
so it can't get deallocated while we hold a pointer to it.
Here's a trivial patch, which does not do the card refcounting, but at
least demonstrates what the problem is.
Note that we can't depend on the fact that the core-cdev:client
structure holds a card open, because in this case the card it holds
open is not the card the request came in on.
..and there's no way for the core to tell cdev "this card is gone,
kill any inbound transactions on it", while cdev holds the transaction
open until userspace issues a SEND_RESPONSE ioctl, which may be a very,
very long time. But when it does, it calls fw_send_response(), which
will dereference the card...
So how unhappy are we about userspace potentially holding a fw_card
open forever?

void (*fw_address_callback_t)(..., int speed, ...) is the speed that a
remote node chose to transmit a request to us. In case of split
transactions, firewire-core will transmit the response at that speed.
Upper layer drivers on the other hand (firewire-net, -sbp2, firedtv, and
userspace drivers) cannot do anything useful with that speed datum,
except log it for debug purposes. But data that is merely potentially
(not even actually) used for debug purposes does not belong into the API.
