There are situations when nodes vanish from the bus and come back in
quickly thereafter:
- When certain bus-powered hubs are plugged in,
- when certain disk enclosures are switched from self-power to bus
power or vice versa and break the daisy chain during the transition,
- when the user plugs a cable out and quickly plugs it back in, e.g.
to reorder a daisy chain (works on Mac OS X if done quickly enough),
- when certain hubs temporarily malfunction during high bus traffic.
The ieee1394 driver's nodemgr already contained a function to set
vanished nodes aside into "limbo"; i.e. they wouldn't actually be
deleted right away. (In fact, only unloading the driver or writing into
an obscure sysfs attribute would delete them eventually.) If nodes
reappeared later, they would be resurrected out of limbo.
Moving nodes into and out of limbo was accompanied with calling the
.suspend() and .resume() driver methods of the drivers which were bound
to a respective node's unit directories. Not only is this somewhat
strange due to the intended use of these driver methods for power
management, also the sbp2 driver in particular does not implement
.suspend() and .resume(). Hence sbp2 would be disconnected from devices
in situations as listed above.
We now:
- leave drivers bound when nodes go into limbo,
- call the drivers' .update() when nodes come out of limbo,
- automatically delete in-limbo nodes 3 seconds after the last
bus reset and bus rescan.
- Because of the automatic removal, the now obsolete bus attribute
/sys/bus/ieee1394/destroy_node is removed.
This especially lets sbp2 survive brief disconnections. You can for
example yank a disk's cable and plug it back in while reading the
respective disk with dd, but dd will happily continue as if nothing
happened.

Regression since commit 73cf60232e,
"ieee1394: use class iteration api": The two loops for (1.) driver
updates and (2.) driver probes were replaced by a single loop with
bogus needs_probe checks. Hence updates and probes were now intermixed,
and especially sbp2 updates (reconnects) held up longer than necessary.

These drivers don't need to match any unit_directory type device.
They just need the id_table for module autoloading per module alias.
Not binding any of these drivers allows special-purpose drivers with
similar or same IDs to bind to devices. This currently only benefits
out-of-tree drivers; on the other hand it is in no way detrimental to
in-tree drivers.

At least since nodemgr got rid of coarse global locking, accesses to
struct csr1212_keyval's reference counter should be atomic and coupled
with proper barriers. Also, calls to csr1212_keep_keyval(kv) should
occur before kv is being used.
(We probably should convert refcnt to struct kref, but how to keep
csr1212_destroy_keyval's implementation non-recursively then?)
Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
csr1212_keep_keyval(kv) in nodemgr_process_root_directory was
unbalanced if ne->vendor_name_kv already exists. This happens for
example if eth1394 or raw1394 modify the local config ROM and it is
parsed again.
As a bonus, the attempt to add the vendor_name_kv sysfs attribute
when it already exists is now fixed for good.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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 bf74ad5bc4,
"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.

- 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.

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.
