2007-10-17ieee1394: Fix kthread stopping in nodemgr_host_threadSatyam Sharma1-1/+2
The nodemgr host thread can exit on its own even when kthread_should_stop is not true, on receiving a signal (might never happen in practice, as it ignores signals). But considering kthread_stop() must not be mixed with kthreads that can exit on their own, I think changing the code like this is clearer. This change means the thread can cut its sleep short when receive a signal but looking at the code around, that sounds okay (and again, it might never actually recieve a signal in practice).

2007-10-13Driver core: change add_uevent_var to use a structKay Sievers1-13/+4
This changes the uevent buffer functions to use a struct instead of a long list of parameters. It does no longer require the caller to do the proper buffer termination and size accounting, which is currently wrong in some places. It fixes a known bug where parts of the uevent environment are overwritten because of wrong index calculations. Many thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for finding bugs and improving the error handling.

2007-07-17Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by defaultRafael J. Wysocki1-0/+1
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional) change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to describe the freezing of tasks more accurately. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2007-05-31ieee1394: sbp2: offer SAM-conforming target port ID in sysfsStefan Richter1-0/+5
With "modprobe sbp2 long_ieee1394_id=y", the format of /sys/bus/scsi/devices/*:*:*:*/ieee1394_id is changed from e.g. 0001041010004beb:0:0 to 0001041010004beb:00042c:0000. The longer format fully conforms to object identifier sizes as per SAM(-2...4) and reflects what the SAM target port identifier is meant to contain: A Discovery ID allegedly specified by ISO/IEC 13213:1994 --- however there is no such thing; the authors of SAM probably meant Directory ID). Especially target nodes with multiple dynamically added targets may use Directory IDs to persistently identify target ports. The new format is independent of implementation details of nodemgr. Thus the same ieee1394_id attribute format can be implemented in the new firewire stack. The ieee1394_id is typically used to create persistently named links in /dev/disk/by-id.

2006-12-08ieee1394: Consolidate driver registeringBen Collins1-3/+10
This patch consolidates some bookkeeping for driver registering. It closely models what pci_register_driver() does. The main addition is that the owner of the driver is set, so we get a proper symlink for /sys/bus/ieee1394/driver/*/module. Also moves setting of name and bus type into nodemgr. Because of this, we can remove the EXPORT_SYMBOL for ieee1394_bus_type, since it's now only used in ieee1394.ko. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

2006-12-08ieee1394: nodemgr: fix deadlock in shutdownStefan Richter1-3/+18
If "modprobe ohci1394" was quickly followed by "modprobe -r ohci1394", say with 1 second pause in between, the modprobe -r got stuck in uninterruptible sleep in kthread_stop. At the same time the knodemgrd slept uninterruptibly in bus_rescan_devices_helper. That's because driver_detach took the semaphore of the PCI device and bus_rescan_devices_helper wanted to take the semaphore of the FireWire host device's parent, which is the same semaphore. This was a regression since Linux 2.6.16, commit bf74ad5bc41727d5f2f1c6bedb2c1fac394de731, "Hold the device's parent's lock during probe and remove". The fix (or workaround) adds a dummy driver to the hpsb_host device. Now bus_rescan_devices_helper won't scan the host device anymore. This doesn't hurt since we have no drivers which will bind to these devices and it is unlikely that there will ever be such a driver. The dummy driver is befittingly presented as a representation of ieee1394 itself. Fixes: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6706 Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

2006-12-07ieee1394: nodemgr: revise semaphore protection of driver core dataStefan Richter1-50/+92
- The list "struct class.children" is supposed to be protected by class.sem, not by class.subsys.rwsem. - nodemgr_remove_uds() iterated over nodemgr_ud_class.children without proper protection. This was never observed as a bug since the code is usually only accessed by knodemgrd. All knodemgrds are currently globally serialized. But userspace can trigger this code too by writing to /sys/bus/ieee1394/destroy_node. - Clean up access to the FireWire bus type's subsys.rwsem: Access it uniformly via ieee1394_bus_type. Shrink rwsem protected regions where possible. Expand them where necessary. The latter wasn't a problem so far because knodemgr is globally serialized. This should harden the interaction of ieee1394 with sysfs and lay ground for deserialized operation of multiple knodemgrds and for implementation of subthreads for parallelized scanning and probing.

2006-09-17ieee1394: shrink tlabel pools, remove tpool semaphoresStefan Richter1-17/+26
This patch reduces the size of struct hpsb_host and also removes semaphores from ieee1394_transactions.c. On i386, struct hpsb_host shrinks from 10656 bytes to 6688 bytes. This is accomplished by - using a single wait_queue for hpsb_get_tlabel instead of many instances of semaphores, - using a single lock to serialize access to all tlabel pools (the protected code regions are small, i.e. lock contention very low), - omitting the sysfs attribute tlabels_allocations. Drawback: In the rare case that a process needs to sleep because all transaction labels for the node are temporarily exhausted, it is also woken up if a tlabel for a different node became free, checks for an available tlabel, and is put to sleep again. The check is not costly and the situation occurs extremely rarely. (Tlabels are typically only exhausted if there was no context switch to the khpsbpkt thread which recycles tlables.) Therefore the benefit of reduced tpool size outweighs this drawback. The sysfs attributes tlabels_free and tlabels_mask are not compiled anymore unless CONFIG_IEEE1394_VERBOSEDEBUG is set. The by far biggest member of struct hpsb_host, the struct csr_control csr (5272 bytes on i386), is now placed at the end of struct hpsb_host. Note, hpsb_get_tlabel calls the macro wait_event_interruptible with a condition argument which has a side effect (allocation of a tlabel and manipulation of the packet). This side effect happens only if the condition is true. The patch relies on wait_event_interruptible not evaluating the condition again after it became true.

2006-07-03[PATCH] ieee1394: nodemgr: convert nodemgr_serialize semaphore to mutexStefan Richter1-5/+5
Another trivial sem2mutex conversion. Side note: nodemgr_serialize's purpose, when introduced in linux1394's revision 529 in July 2002, was to protect several data structures which are now largely handled by or together with Linux' driver core and are now protected by the LDM's own mechanisms. It may very well be possible to remove this mutex now. But fully parallelized node scanning is on our long-term TODO list anyway; the mutex will certainly go away then.

2006-07-03[PATCH] ieee1394: fix cosmetic problem in speed probeStefan Richter1-5/+8
If ieee1394.h::IEEE1394_SPEED_MAX is bigger than the actual speed of an 1394b host adapter and the speed to another 1394b node was probed, a bigger speed than actually used was kept in host->speed[n]. The only resulting problem so far was sbp2 displaying bogus values in the syslog, e.g. S3200 for actual S800 connections if IEEE1394_SPEED_MAX was S3200. But other high-level drivers which access this field could get into more trouble. (Eth1394 is the only other in-tree driver which does so. It seems it is not affected.) Nodemgr now clips this value according to the host adapter's link speed. A pointer expression in nodemgr_check_speed is also changed for clarity.
