firewire: allow explicit flushing of iso packet completions

2012-03-18T21:15:39Z

Extend the kernel and userspace APIs to allow reporting all currently completed isochronous packets, even if the next interrupt packet has not yet been reached. This is required to determine the status of the packets at the end of a paused or stopped stream, and useful for more precise synchronization of audio streams.

firewire: prevent dropping of completed iso packet header data

2012-03-18T21:15:39Z

The buffer for the header data of completed iso packets has a fixed size, so it is possible to configure a stream with a big interval between interrupt packets or with big headers so that this buffer would overflow. Previously, ohci.c would drop any data that would not fit, but this could make unsuspecting applications believe that fewer than the actual number of packets have completed. Instead of dropping data, add calls to flush_iso_completion() so that there are as many events as needed to report all of the data. Signed-off-by: Clemens Ladisch Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter

firewire: cdev: fix IR multichannel event documentation

2012-03-17T10:07:26Z

State more precisely when fw_cdev_event_iso_interrupt_mc is sent. While the comment tried to reflect an amibuity in the OHCI specification, there is only one method that is useful in practice, and this also matches all the hardware implementations I've tested.

firewire: cdev: ABI documentation enhancements

2011-07-16T05:24:32Z

Add overview documentation in Documentation/ABI/stable/firewire-cdev. Improve the inline reference documentation in firewire-cdev.h: - Add /* available since kernel... */ comments to event numbers consistent with the comments on ioctl numbers. - Shorten some documentation on an event and an ioctl that are less interesting to current programming because there are newer preferable variants. - Spell Configuration ROM (name of an IEEE 1212 register) in upper case. - Move the dummy FW_CDEV_VERSION out of the reader's field of vision. We should remove it from the header next year or so. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter

firewire: cdev: prevent race between first get_info ioctl and bus reset event queuing

2011-07-16T05:24:32Z

Between open(2) of a /dev/fw* and the first FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_INFO ioctl(2) on it, the kernel already queues FW_CDEV_EVENT_BUS_RESET events to be read(2) by the client. The get_info ioctl is practically always issued right away after open, hence this condition only occurs if the client opens during a bus reset, especially during a rapid series of bus resets. The problem with this condition is twofold: - These bus reset events carry the (as yet undocumented) @closure value of 0. But it is not the kernel's place to choose closures; they are privat to the client. E.g., this 0 value forced from the kernel makes it unsafe for clients to dereference it as a pointer to a closure object without NULL pointer check. - It is impossible for clients to determine the relative order of bus reset events from get_info ioctl(2) versus those from read(2), except in one way: By comparison of closure values. Again, such a procedure imposes complexity on clients and reduces freedom in use of the bus reset closure. So, change the ABI to suppress queuing of bus reset events before the first FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_INFO ioctl was issued by the client. Note, this ABI change cannot be version-controlled. The kernel cannot distinguish old from new clients before the first FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_INFO ioctl. We will try to back-merge this change into currently maintained stable/ longterm series, and we only document the new behaviour. The old behavior is now considered a kernel bug, which it basically is. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter Cc:

firewire: add isochronous multichannel reception

2010-07-29T21:09:18Z

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. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter
