2009-03-24firewire: cdev: add closure to async stream ioctlStefan Richter
This changes the as yet unreleased FW_CDEV_IOC_SEND_STREAM_PACKET ioctl to generate an fw_cdev_event_response event just like the other two ioctls for asynchronous request transmission do. This way, clients get feedback on successful or unsuccessful transmission. This also adds input validation for length, tag, channel, sy, speed.

2009-03-24firewire: cdev: secure add_descriptor ioctlStefan Richter
The access permissions and ownership or ACL of /dev/fw* character device files will typically be set based on the device type of the respective nodes, as obtained by firewire-core from descriptors in the device's configuration ROM. An example policy is to deny write permission by default but grant write permission to files of AV/C video and audio devices and IIDC video devices. The FW_CDEV_IOC_ADD_DESCRIPTOR ioctl could be used to partly subvert such a policy: Find a device file with relaxed permissions, use the ioctl to add a descriptor with AV/C marker to the local node's ROM, thus gain access to the local node's character device file. (This is only possible if there are udev scripts installed which actively relax permissions for known device types and if there is a device of such a type connected.) Accessibility of the local node's device file is relevant to host security if the host contains two or more IEEE 1394 link layer controllers which are plugged into a single bus. Therefore change the ABI to deny FW_CDEV_IOC_ADD_DESCRIPTOR if the file belongs to a remote node. (This change has no impact on known implementers of the ABI: None of them uses the ioctl yet.) Also clarify the documentation: The ioctl affects all local nodes, not just one local node. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
2009-03-24firewire: cdev: amendment to "add ioctl to query maximum transmission speed"Stefan Richter
The as yet unreleased FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_SPEED ioctl puts only a single integer into the parameter buffer. We can use ioctl()'s return value instead. (Also: Some whitespace change in firewire-cdev.h.) Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
2009-03-24firewire: implement asynchronous stream transmissionJay Fenlason

2009-03-24firewire: cdev: add ioctls for iso resource management, amendmentStefan Richter
Some fixes: - Remove stale documentation. - Fix a != vs. == thinko that got in the way of channel management. - Try bandwidth deallocation even if channel deallocation failed. A simplification: - fw_cdev_allocate_iso_resource.channels is now ordered like libdc1394's dc1394_iso_allocate_channel() channels_allowed argument. By the way, I looked closer at cards from NEC, TI, and VIA, and noticed that they all don't implement IEEE 1394a behaviour which is meant to deviate from IEEE 1212's notion of lock compare-swap. This means that we have to do two lock transactions instead of one in many cases where one transaction would already succeed on a fully 1394a compliant IRM.

2009-03-24firewire: cdev: increment fw_cdev_version, update documentationStefan Richter
Necessary due to Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2008 23:23:40 -0700 From: David Moore <dcm@acm.org> Subject: firewire: Include iso timestamp in headers when header_size > 4 Side note: The lack of upwards compatibility sounds worse than it is. All existing client implementations, libraw1394 and libdc1394, set header_size = 4. And since the ABI v1 behaviour does not offer any advantages over the new behaviour, we deliberately do not provide the old behaviour anymore. Also add documentation about the format of fw_cdev_get_cycle_timer which may be used in conjunction with the timestamp of iso packets but has a different format.

2009-03-24firewire: cdev: add ioctl for broadcast write requestsJay Fenlason, Stefan Richter
Write transactions to the broadcast node ID are a convenient way to trigger functions of multiple nodes at once. IIDC is a protocol which can make use of this if multiple cameras with same command_regs_base are connected at the same bus. Based on Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2008 11:32:16 -0400 From: Jay Fenlason <fenlason@redhat.com> Subject: [patch] SEND_BROADCAST_REQUEST Changes: ioctl_send_request() and ioctl_send_broadcast_request() now share code. Broadcast speed corrected to S100. Check for proper tcode. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
2009-03-24firewire: cdev: add ioctl to query maximum transmission speedStefan Richter
While the speed of asynchronous transactions is automatically chosen by the kernel, the speed of isochronous streams has to be chosen by the initiating client. In case of 1394a bus topologies, the maximum possible speed could be figured out with some effort by evaluation of the remote node's link speed field in the config ROM, the local node's link speed field, and the PHY speeds and topologic information in the local node's or IRM's topology map CSR. However, this does not work in case of 1394b buses. Hence add an ioctl to export the maximum speed which the kernel already determined. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
2009-03-24firewire: cdev: add ioctls for manual iso resource managementStefan Richter
This adds ioctls for allocation and deallocation of a channel or/and bandwidth without auto-reallocation and without auto-deallocation. The benefit of these ioctls is that libraw1394-style isochronous resource management can be implemented without write access to the IRM's character device file.

2009-03-24firewire: cdev: add ioctls for isochronous resource managementJay Fenlason, Stefan Richter
Based on Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2008 11:41:27 -0500 From: Jay Fenlason <fenlason@redhat.com> Subject: [Patch V4] Add ISO resource management support with several changes to the ABI and implementation. Only the part of the ABI which enables auto-reallocation and auto-deallocation is included here. This implements ioctls for kernel-assisted allocation of isochronous channels and isochronous bandwidth. The benefits are: - The client does not have to have write access to the /dev/fw* device corresponding to the IRM. - The client does not have to perform reallocation after bus resets. - Channel and bandwidth are deallocated by the kernel if the file is closed before the client deallocated the resources. Thus resources are released even if the client crashes. It is anticipated that future in-kernel code (firewire-core IRM code; the firewire port of firedtv), will use the fw-iso.c portions of this code too.

2009-03-24firewire: cdev: fix documentation of FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_INFOStefan Richter
The FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_INFO ioctl looks at client->device->config_rom, not at the local node's config ROM. We could fix the implementation or the documentation. I believe the way how it is currently implemented is more useful than the way how it is currently documented. In fact, libdc1394 uses the ABI already as implemented, not as documented. Hence let's change the documentation. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
