Sparc was missed in commit 2b1c6bd77d4e6a727ffac8630cd154b2144b751a
("generic compat_sys_ustat"). We definitely need it, since our
__kernel_ino_t is "unsigned long".

To fix this problem, check ->mm instead of ->active_mm, and this
means:
> So if you test current->mm, you effectively account for mm_users == 1,

And therefore we should be OK.

Tuning was broken on FireDTV S2 (and presumably FloppyDTV S2) because a
wrong opcode was sent. The box only gave "not implemented" responses.
Changing the opcode to _TUNE_QPSK2 fixes this for good.

Cache the test result of whether a device implements BROADCAST_CHANNEL.
This minimizes traffic on the bus after each bus reset. A majority of
devices does not implement BROADCAST_CHANNEL.
Remove busy retries; just rely on the hardware to retry requests to busy
responders. Remove unnecessary log messages.
Rename the flag is_irm to broadcast_channel_allocated to better reflect
its meaning. Reset the flag earlier in fw_core_handle_bus_reset.
Pass the generation down as a call parameter; that way generation can't
be newer than card->broadcast_channel_allocated and device->node_id.

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 changes the ioctl() return value of FW_CDEV_IOC_SEND_REQUEST and of
the as yet unreleased FW_CDEV_IOC_SEND_BROADCAST_REQUEST. They used to
return
sizeof(struct fw_cdev_send_request *) + data_length
which is obviously a failed attempt to emulate the return value of
raw1394's respective interface which uses write() instead of ioctl().
However, the first summand, as size of a kernel pointer, is entirely
meaningless to clients and the second summand is already known to
clients. And the result does not resemble raw1394's write() return
code anyway.
So simplify it to a constant non-negative value, i.e. 0. The only
dangers here would be that future client implementations check for error
by ret != 0 instead of ret < 0 when running on top of an old kernel; or
that current clients interpret ret = 0 or more as failure. But both are
hypothetical cases which don't justify to return irritating values.
While we touch this code, also remove "& 0x1f" from tcode in the call of
fw_send_request. The tcode cannot be bigger than 0x1f at this point.

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.

This patch adds the ISO broadcast channel support that is required of a
1394a IRM. In specific, if the local device the IRM, it allocates ISO
channel 31 and sets the broadcast channel register of all devices on the
local bus to BROADCAST_CHANNEL_INITIAL | BROADCAST_CHANNEL_VALID to indicate
that channel 31 can be use for broadcast messages.
One minor complication is that on startup the local device may become IRM
before all the devices on the bus have been enumerated by the stack. Therefore
we have to keep a "the local device is IRM" flag and possibly set the
broadcast channel register of new devices at enumeration time.

The kernel API documentation says that queue_delayed_work() returns 0
(only) if the work was already queued. The return codes of
schedule_delayed_work() are not documented but the same.
In init_iso_resource(), the work has never been queued yet, hence we
can assume schedule_delayed_work() to be a guaranteed success there.

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.

We don't want random users write to Memory Space (e.g. PCs with physical
DMA filters down) or to core CSRs like Reset_Start.
This does not protect SBP-2 target CSRs. But properly behaving SBP-2
targets ignore broadcast write requests to these registers, and the
maximum damage which can happen with laxer targets is DOS. But there
are ways to create DOS situations anyway if there are devices with weak
device file permissions (like audio/video devices) present at the same
bus as an SBP-2 target.

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.

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.

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.

to indicate that they are specializations of struct event or of struct
client_resource, respectively.
struct response was both an event and a client_resource; it is now split
into struct outbound_transaction_resource and ~_event in order to
document more explicitly which types of client resources exist.
struct request and struct_request_event are renamed to struct
inbound_transaction_resource and ~_event because requests and responses
occur in outbound and in inbound transactions.

The lifetime of struct client instances must be longer than the lifetime
of any client resource.
This fixes a possible race between fw_device_op_release and transaction
completions. It also prepares for new ioctls for isochronous resource
management which will involve delayed processing of client resources.

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.

OHCI-1394 1.1 clause 10.4.3 says: "If more than one IR DMA context
specifies receives for packets from the same isochronous channel, the
context destination for that channel's packets is undefined."
Any userspace client and in the future also kernelspace clients can
allocate IR DMA contexts for any channel. We don't want them to
interfere with each other, hence it is preferable to return -EBUSY if
allocation of a second context for a channel is attempted.
Notes:
- This limitation is OHCI-1394 specific, therefore its proper place of
implementation is down in the low-level driver.
- Since the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI simply maps one userspace iso
client context to one hardware iso context, this OHCI-1394
limitation alas requires userspace to implement its own multiplexing
of iso reception from the same channel and card to multiple clients
when needed.
- The limitation is independent of channel allocation at the IRM; the
latter is really only important for the initiation of iso
transmission but not of iso reception.
- We don't need to do the same for IT DMA because OHCI-1394 does not
have any ties between IT contexts and channels. Only the voluntary
channel allocation protocol via the IRM, globally to the FireWire
bus, can ensure proper isochronous transmit behaviour anyway.
