On most of audio and music units on IEEE 1394 bus which ALSA firewire stack
supports (or plans to support), CIP with two quadlets header is used.
Thus, there's no cases to queue packets with blank payload. If such packets
are going to be queued, it means that they're for skips of the cycle.
This commit simplifies helper functions to queue a packet.

In current implementation, packet processing is done in both of software
IRQ contexts of IR/IT contexts and process contexts.
This is usual interrupt handling of IR/IT context for 1394 OHCI.
(in hardware IRQ context)
irq_handler() (drivers/firewire/ohci.c)
->tasklet_schedule()
(in software IRQ context)
handle_it_packet() or handle_ir_packet_per_buffer() (drivers/firewire/ohci.c)
->flush_iso_completions()
->struct fw_iso_context.callback.sc()
= out_stream_callback() or in_stream_callback()
However, we have another chance for packet processing. It's done in PCM
frame handling via ALSA PCM interfaces.
(in process context)
ioctl(i.e. SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_HWSYNC)
->snd_pcm_hwsync() (sound/core/pcm_native.c)
->snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr() (sound/core/pcm_lib.c)
->snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr0()
->struct snd_pcm_ops.pointer()
= amdtp_stream_pcm_pointer()
->fw_iso_context_flush_completions() (drivers/firewire/core-iso.c)
->struct fw_card_driver.flush_iso_completions()
= ohci_flush_iso_completions() (drivers/firewire/ohci.c)
->flush_iso_completions()
->struct fw_iso_context.callback.sc()
= out_stream_callback() or in_stream_callback()
This design is for a better granularity of PCM pointer. When ioctl(2) is
executed with some commands for ALSA PCM interface, queued packets are
handled at first. Then, the latest number of handled PCM frames is
reported. The number can represent PCM frames transferred in most near
isochronous cycle.
Current tracepoints include no information to distinguish running contexts.
When tracing the interval of software IRQ context, this is not good.
This commit adds more information for current context. Additionally, the
index of packet processed in one context is added in a case that packet
processing is executed in continuous context of the same kind,
As a result, the output includes 11 fields with additional two fields
to commit 0c95c1d619 ("ALSA: firewire-lib: add tracepoints to dump a part
of isochronous packet data"):

These three commits were merged to improve PCM pointer granularity.
commit 76fb878948 ("ALSA: firewire-lib: taskletize the snd_pcm_period_elapsed() call")
commit e9148dddc3 ("ALSA: firewire-lib: flush completed packets when reading PCM position")
commit 92b862c7d6 ("ALSA: firewire-lib: optimize packet flushing")
The point of them is to handle queued packets not only in software IRQ
context of IR/IT contexts, but also in process context. As a result of
handling packets, period tasklet is scheduled when acrossing PCM period
boundary. This is to prevent recursive call of
'struct snd_pcm_ops.pointer()' in the same context.
When the pointer callback is executed in the process context, it's
better to avoid the second callback in the software IRQ context. The
software IRQ context runs immediately after scheduled in the process
context because few packets are queued yet.
For the aim, 'pointer_flush' is used, however it causes a race condition
between the process context and software IRQ context of IR/IT contexts.
Practically, this race is not so critical because it influences process
context to skip flushing queued packet and to get worse granularity of
PCM pointer. The race condition is quite rare but it should be improved
for stable service.
The similar effect can be achieved by using 'in_interrupt()' macro. This
commit obsoletes 'pointer_flush' with it.

In former commit, drivers in ALSA firewire stack always starts IT context
before IR context. If IR context starts after packets are transmitted by
peer unit, packet discontinuity may be detected because the context starts
in the middle of packet streaming. This situation is rare because IT
context usually starts immediately. However, it's better to solve this
issue. This is suppressed with CIP_SKIP_INIT_DBC_CHECK flag.
This commit enables the same feature as CIP_SKIP_INIT_DBC_CHECK.

In clause 6.3 of IEC 61883-6:2000, there's an explanation about processing
of presentation timestamp. In the clause, we can see "If a function block
receives a CIP, processes it and subsequently re-transmits it, then the
SYT of the outgoing CIP shall be the sum of the incoming SYT and the
processing delay." ALSA firewire stack has an implementation to partly
satisfy this specification. Developers assumed the stack to perform as an
Audio function block[1].
Following to the assumption, current implementation of ALSA firewire stack
use one software interrupt context to handle both of in/out packets. In
most case, this is processed in 1394 OHCI IR context independently of the
opposite context. Thus, this implementation uses longer CPU time in the
software interrupt context. This is not better for whole system.
Against the assumption, I confirmed that each ASIC for IEC 61883-1/6
doesn't necessarily expect it to the stack. Thus, current implementation
of ALSA firewire stack includes over-engineering.
This commit purges the implementation. As a result, packets of one
direction are handled in one software interrupt context and spends
minimum CPU time.

When audio and music units have some quirks in their sequence of packet,
it's really hard for non-owners to identify the quirks. Although developers
need dumps for sequence of packets, it's difficult for users who have no
knowledges and no equipments for this purpose.
This commit adds tracepoints for this situation. When users encounter
the issue, they can dump a part of packet data via Linux tracing framework
as long as using drivers in ALSA firewire stack.
Additionally, tracepoints for outgoing packets will be our help to check
and debug packet processing of ALSA firewire stack.
This commit newly adds 'snd_firewire_lib' subsystem with 'in_packet' and
'out_packet' events. In the events, some attributes of packets and the
index of packet managed by this module are recorded per packet.
This is an usage:

In callback function of isochronous context, modules can queue packets to
indicated isochronous cycles. Although the cycle to queue a packet is
deterministic by calculation, this module doesn't implement the calculation
because it's useless for processing.
In future, the cycle count is going to be printed with the other parameters
for debugging. This commit is the preparation. The cycle count is computed
by cycle unit, and correctly arranged to corresponding packets. The

In callback function of isochronous context, u32 variable is passed for
cycle count. The value of this variable comes from DMA descriptors of 1394
Open Host Controller Interface (1394 OHCI). In the specification, DMA
descriptors transport lower 3 bits for second field and full cycle field in
16 bits field, therefore 16 bits of the u32 variable are available. The
value for second is modulo 8, and the value for cycle is modulo 8,000.
Currently, ALSA firewire-lib module don't use the value of the second
field, because the value is useless to calculate presentation timestamp in
IEC 61883-6. However, the value may be useful for debugging. In later
commit, it will be printed with the other parameters for debugging.
This commit makes this module to handle the whole cycle count including
second. The value is calculated by cycle unit. The existed code is already
written with ignoring the value of second, thus this commit causes no

In firewire-lib, isochronous packet streaming is stopped when detecting
wrong value for FMT field of CIP headers. Although this is appropriate
to IEC 61883-1 and 6, some BeBoB based devices with vendors' customization
use invalid value to FMT field of CIP headers in the beginning of
streaming.
$ journalctl

I got this log with M-Audio FireWire 1814. In this line, the value of FMT
field is 0x00, while it should be 0x10 in usual AMDTP.
Except for the beginning, these devices continue to transfer packets with
valid value for FMT field, except for the beginning. Therefore, in this
case, firewire-lib should continue to process packets. The former
implementation of firewire-lib performs it.
This commit loosens the handling of wrong value, to continue packet
processing in the case.

The value of FDF field in CIP header is protocol-dependent. Thus, it's
better to allow data block processing layer to decide the value in any
timing.
In AM824 data format, the value of FDF field in CIP header indicates
N-flag and Nominal Sampling Frequency Code (sfc). The N-flag is for
switching 'Clock-based rate control mode' and 'Command-based rate control
mode'. In our implementation, 'Clock-based rate control mode' is just
supported. Therefore, When sampling transfer frequency is decided, then
the FDF can be set.
This commit replaces 'amdtp_stream_set_parameters' with
'amdtp_am824_set_parameters' to set the FDF. This is the same timing
to decide the ration between the number of data blocks and the number of
