<id>urn:sha1:8527f8e2934683e53405fbe876a4e6f4a0c46eb8</id>
<content type='text'>
In fw_device_init() and fw_device_refresh(), if a call to
read_cofig_rom() fails, the operation is retried a few times, with
these retries being controlled by the MAX_RETRIES and RETRY_DELAY
symbols.

fw_device_refresh() also reads part of the config rom by calling
reread_config_rom().  Any errors from this call resulted in retries
with MAX_RETRIES/2 and RETRY_DELAY/2.

There is no reason to require that a device that has initiated a bus
reset must react faster to read requests than a device that has just
been plugged in.  Furthermore, if the config rom has changed, any
errors from the following read_config_rom() call are then handled
with the normal retry count and delay.

Remove this inconsistency by always using the normal retry count and
delay.  (This also makes the two error handlers identical and allows
merging them.)

If reading or refreshing a config rom fails, also log the actual error
that caused it to fail.

The return value of reread_config_rom() was a mixture of two pieces of
information: whether the function succeeded, and whether the config rom
had changed.

To clarify the semantics, and to allow returning the actual error code,
split the second information into a new output parameter.

<title>firewire: core: wait for inaccessible devices after bus reset</title>

<content type='text'>
When reread_config_rom() encountered a config rom that was marked as not
yet accessible, that device would be treated as "gone".  This would mean
that that device would effectively vanish until the next bus reset.

The correct way to handle this situation is the same as in
read_config_rom(), to treat this like other errors and to retry the read
later, when the (possibly changed) config rom is available.  The device
is marked "gone" only if it continues to return zero values after these
retries.

Associate all log messages from firewire-core with the respective card
because some people have more than one card.  E.g.
    firewire_ohci 0000:04:00.0: added OHCI v1.10 device as card 0, 8 IR + 8 IT contexts, quirks 0x0
    firewire_ohci 0000:05:00.0: added OHCI v1.10 device as card 1, 8 IR + 8 IT contexts, quirks 0x0
    firewire_core: created device fw0: GUID 0814438400000389, S800
    firewire_core: phy config: new root=ffc1, gap_count=5
    firewire_core: created device fw1: GUID 0814438400000388, S800
    firewire_core: created device fw2: GUID 0001d202e06800d1, S800
turns into
    firewire_ohci 0000:04:00.0: added OHCI v1.10 device as card 0, 8 IR + 8 IT contexts, quirks 0x0
    firewire_ohci 0000:05:00.0: added OHCI v1.10 device as card 1, 8 IR + 8 IT contexts, quirks 0x0
    firewire_core 0000:04:00.0: created device fw0: GUID 0814438400000389, S800
    firewire_core 0000:04:00.0: phy config: new root=ffc1, gap_count=5
    firewire_core 0000:05:00.0: created device fw1: GUID 0814438400000388, S800
    firewire_core 0000:04:00.0: created device fw2: GUID 0001d202e06800d1, S800

This increases the module size slightly; to keep this in check, turn the
former printk wrapper macros into functions.  Their implementation is
largely copied from driver core's dev_printk counterparts.

fw_unit device drivers invariably need to talk to the fw_unit's parent
(an fw_device) and grandparent (an fw_card).  firewire-core already
maintains an fw_card reference for the entire lifetime of an fw_device.
Likewise, let firewire-core maintain an fw_device reference for the
entire lifetime of an fw_unit so that fw_unit drivers don't have to.

<id>urn:sha1:aaff12039ffd812d0c8bbff50b87b6f1f09bec3e</id>
<content type='text'>
Some older Panasonic made camcorders (Panasonic AG-EZ30 and NV-DX110,
Grundig Scenos DLC 2000) reject requests with ack_busy_X if a request is
sent immediately after they sent a response to a prior transaction.
This causes firewire-core to fail probing of the camcorder with "giving
up on config rom for node id ...".  Consequently, programs like kino or
dvgrab are unaware of the presence of a camcorder.

Such transaction failures happen also with the ieee1394 driver stack
(of the 2.4...2.6 kernel series until 2.6.36 inclusive) but with a lower
likelihood, such that kino or dvgrab are generally able to use these
camcorders via the older driver stack.  The cause for firewire-ohci's or
firewire-core's worse behavior is not yet known.  Gap count optimization
in firewire-core is not the cause.  Perhaps the slightly higher latency
of transaction completion in the older stack plays a role.  (ieee1394:
AR-resp DMA context tasklet -&gt; packet completion ktread -&gt; user process;
firewire-core: tasklet -&gt; user process.)

This change introduces retries and delays after ack_busy_X into
firewire-core's Config ROM reader, such that at least firewire-core's
probing and /dev/fw* creation are successful.  This still leaves the
problem that userland processes are facing transaction failures.
gscanbus's built-in retry routines deal with them successfully, but
neither kino's nor dvgrab's do ever succeed.

But at least DV capture with "dvgrab -noavc -card 0" works now.  Live
video preview in kino works too, but not actual capture.

One way to prevent Configuration ROM reading failures in application
programs is to modify libraw1394 to synthesize read responses by means
of firewire-core's Configuration ROM cache.  This would only leave
CMP and FCP transaction failures as a potential problem source for
applications.
