2009-01-29ieee1394: sbp2: add workarounds for 2nd and 3rd generation iPodsStefan Richter
as per https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294391. These got one sample of each iPod generation going. However there still occurred I/O stalls with the 3rd generation iPod which remain undiagnosed at the time of this writing.

2009-01-29firewire: sbp2: add workarounds for 2nd and 3rd generation iPodsStefan Richter
According to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294391 - 3rd generation iPods need the "fix capacity" workaround after all (apparently they crash after the last sector was accessed), - 2nd generation iPods need the "128 kB maximum request size" workaround. Alas both iPod generations feature the same model ID in the config ROM, hence we can only define a shared quirks list entry for them. Luckily the fix capacity workaround did not show a negative effect in Jarod's tests with 2nd gen. iPod. A side note: Apple computers in target mode (or at least an x86 Mac mini) don't have firmware_version and model_id, hence none of the iPod quirks list entries is active for them.

2009-01-28firewire: sbp2: fix payload limit at S1600 and S3200Stefan Richter
1394-2008 clause 16.3.4.1 (1394b-2002 clause 16.3.1.1) defines tighter limits than 1394-2008 clause 6.2.2.3 (1394a-2000 clause 6.2.2.3). Our previously too large limit doesn't matter though if the controller reports its max_receive correctly. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
2009-01-28ieee1394: sbp2: don't assume zero model_id or firmware_revision if there is noneStefan Richter
This makes sbp2 behave more like firewire-sbp2 which reports 0xff000000 as immediate value if there are no unit directory entries for model_id or firmware_revision. It does not reduce matches with the currently existing quirks table; the only zero entry there is for a device which actually does have a zero model_id. It only changes how model_id and firmware_revision are logged if they are missing. Other functionally unrelated changes: The model_id member of quirks list entries is renamed to model; the value (but not the effect) of SBP2_ROM_VALUE_WILDCARD is changed. Now this part of the source is identical with firewire-sbp2 for easier maintenance. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

2009-01-28ieee1394: support for speeds greater than S800Stefan Richter
The hard-wired configuration of the top speed (until now S800) was unnecessary, remove it. If the local link layer controller supports S1600 or S3200, we now assume this speed for all present 1394b PHYs (except if they are behind 1394a repeaters) until nodemgr figured out the actual speed while fetching the config ROM.

2009-01-24ieee1394: ohci1394: increase AT req. retries, fix ack_busy_X from Panasonic ↵Stefan Richter
camcorders and others Camcorders have a tendency to fail read requests to their config ROM and write request to their FCP command register with ack_busy_X. This has become a problem with newer kernels and especially Panasonic camcorders, causing AV/C in dvgrab and kino to fail. Dvgrab for example frequently logs "send oops"; kino reports loss of AV/C control. I suspect that lower CPU scheduling latencies in newer kernels made this issue more prominent now. According to https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=114103&aid=2492640&group_id=14103 this can be fixed by configuring the FireWire controller for more hardware retries for request transmission; these retries are evidently more successful than libavc1394's own retry loop (typically 3 tries on top of hardware retries). Presumably the same issue has been reported at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449252 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=477279 .

2009-01-20firewire: keep highlevel drivers attached during brief connection lossStefan Richter
There are situations when nodes vanish from the bus and come back quickly thereafter: - When certain bus-powered hubs are plugged in, - when certain devices are plugged into 6-port hubs, - 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. Until now, firewire-core reported affected nodes as lost to the highlevel drivers (firewire-sbp2 and userspace drivers). We now delay the destruction of device representations until after at least two seconds after the last bus reset. If a "new" device is detected in this period whose bus information block and root directory header match that of a device which is pending for deletion, we resurrect that device and send update calls to highlevel drivers.

2009-01-20firewire: insist on successive self ID complete eventsStefan Richter
The whole topology code only works if the old and new topologies which are compared come from immediately successive self ID complete events. If there happened bus resets without self ID complete events in the meantime, or self ID complete events with invalid selfIDs, the topology comparison could identify nodes wrongly, or more likely just corrupt kernel memory or panic right away. We now discard all nodes of the old topology and treat all current nodes as new ones if the current self ID generation is not the previous one plus 1.

2009-01-16Revert "PCI PM: Register power state of devices during initialization"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit 98e6e286d7b01deb7453b717aa38ebb69d6cefc0, as Yinghai Lu reports that it breaks kexec with at least the e1000 and e1000e drivers. The reason is that the shutdown sequence puts the hardware into D3 sleep, and the commit causes us to claim that it then is in D0 (running) state just because we don't understand the PM capabilities. Which then later makes "pci_set_power_state()" not do anything, and the device never wakes up properly and just returns 0xff to everything.

2009-01-16drm: initial KMS config fixesJesse Barnes
When mode setting is first initialized, the driver will call into drm_helper_initial_config() to set up an initial output and framebuffer configuration. This routine is responsible for probing the available connectors, encoders, and crtcs, looking for modes and putting together something reasonable (where reasonable is defined as "allows kernel messages to be visible on as many displays as possible"). However, the code was a bit too aggressive in setting default modes when none were found on a given connector. Even if some connectors had modes, any connectors found lacking modes would have the default 800x600 mode added to their mode list, which in some cases could cause problems later down the line. In my case, the LVDS was perfectly available, but the initial config code added 800x600 modes to both of the detected but unavailable HDMI connectors (which are on my non-existent docking station). This ended up preventing later code from setting a mode on my LVDS, which is bad. This patch fixes that behavior by making the initial config code walk through the connectors first, counting the available modes, before it decides to add any default modes to a possibly connected output. It also fixes the logic in drm_target_preferred() that was causing zeroed out modes to be set as the preferred mode for a given connector, even if no modes were available.

2009-01-16hvc_console: Remove tty->low_latencyHendrik Brueckner
This patch removes the tty->low_latency setting. For irq based hvc_console backends the tty->low_latency must be set to 0, because the tty_flip_buffer_push() function must not be called from IRQ context (see drivers/char/tty_buffer.c). For polled backends, the low_latency setting causes the bug trace below, because tty_flip_buffer_push() is called within an atomic context and subsequent calls might sleep due to mutex_lock.
