Fix I/O stalls with some 4-bay RAID enclosures which are based on
OXUF936QSE:
- Onnto dataTale RSM4QO, old firmware (not anymore with current
firmware),
- inXtron Hydra Super-S LCM, old as well as current firmware
when used in RAID-5 mode, perhaps also in other RAID modes.
The stalls happen during heavy or moderate disk traffic in periods that
are a multiple of 5 minutes, roughly twice per hour. They are caused
by the target responding too late to an ORB_Pointer register write:
The target responds after Split_Timeout, hence firewire-core cancels
the transaction, and firewire-sbp2 fails the SCSI request. The SCSI
core retries the request, that fails again (and again), hence SCSI core
calls firewire-sbp2's abort handler (and even the Management_Agent
register write in the abort handler has the transaction timeout
problem).
During all that, the process which issued the I/O is stalled in I/O
wait state.
Meanwhile, the target actually acts on the first failed SCSI request:
It responds to the ORB_Pointer write later (seen in the kernel log as
"firewire_core: Unsolicited response") and also finishes the SCSI
request with proper status (seen in the kernel log as "firewire_sbp2:
status write for unknown orb").
So let's just ignore RCODE_CANCELLED in the transaction callback and
wait for the target to complete the ORB nevertheless. This requires
a small modification is sbp2_cancel_orbs(); it now needs to call
orb->callback() regardless whether fw_cancel_transaction() found the
transaction unfinished or finished.
A different solution is to increase Split_Timeout on the local node.
(Tested: 2000ms timeout; maybe 1000ms or something like that works too.
200ms is insufficient. Standard is 100ms.) However, I rather not do
this because any software on any node could change the Split_Timeout to
something unsuitable. Or such a large Split_Timeout may be undesirable
for other purposes.

When an ORB was canceled (Command ORB i.e. SCSI request timed out, or
Management ORB timed out), or there was a send error in the initial
transaction, we missed to drop one of the ORB's references and thus
leaked memory.
Background:
In total, we hold 3 references to each Operation Request Block:
- 1 during sbp2_scsi_queuecommand() or sbp2_send_management_orb()
respectively,
- 1 for the duration of the write transaction to the ORB_Pointer or
Management_Agent register of the target,
- 1 for as long as the ORB stays within the lu->orb_list, until
the ORB is unlinked from the list and the orb->callback was
executed.
The latter one of these 3 references is finished
- normally by sbp2_status_write() when the target wrote status
for a pending ORB,
- or by sbp2_cancel_orbs() in case of an ORB time-out,
- or by complete_transaction() in case of a send error.
Of them, the latter two lacked the kref_put.
Add the missing kref_put()s. Add comments to the gets and puts of
references for transaction callbacks and ORB callbacks so that it is
easier to see what is supposed to happen.

void (*fw_address_callback_t)(..., int speed, ...) is the speed that a
remote node chose to transmit a request to us. In case of split
transactions, firewire-core will transmit the response at that speed.
Upper layer drivers on the other hand (firewire-net, -sbp2, firedtv, and
userspace drivers) cannot do anything useful with that speed datum,
except log it for debug purposes. But data that is merely potentially
(not even actually) used for debug purposes does not belong into the API.

In case of fw_card_bm_work()'s lock request, the present sizeof
expression is going to be wrong if somebody changes the fw_card's DMA
scratch buffer's size in the future.
In case of quadlet write requests, sizeof(u32) is just silly; it's 4.
In case of SBP-2 ORB pointer write requests, 8 is arguably quicker to
understand as the correct and only possible value than
sizeof(some_datum).

Also introduce a temporary wrapper for backwards compability. This can

A few stylistic changes to unify some code patterns in the subsystem:
- The similar queue_delayed_work helpers fw_schedule_bm_work,
schedule_iso_resource, and sbp2_queue_work now have the same call
convention.
- Two conditional calls of schedule_iso_resource are factored into
another small helper.
- An sbp2_target_get helper is added as counterpart to
sbp2_target_put.
Object size of firewire-core is decreased a little bit, object size of
firewire-sbp2 remains unchanged.

The Unit_Characteristics entry of an SBP-2 unit directory is not
mandatory as far as I can tell. If it is missing, we would probably
fail to log in into the target because firewire-sbp2 would not wait for
status after it sent the login request.
The fix moves the cleanup of tgt->mgt_orb_timeout into a place where it
is executed exactly once before login, rather than 0..n times depending
on the target's config ROM. With targets with one or more
Unit_Characteristics entries, the result is the same as before.

Per SBP-2 clause 5.3, a target shall store 8...32 bytes of status
information. Trailing zeros after the first 8 bytes don't need to be
stored, they are implicit. Fix the status write handler to clear all

If a target writes invalid status (typically status of a command that
already timed out), firewire-sbp2 attempts to put away an ORB that
doesn't exist. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=519772

Increase the command ORB data structure to transport up to 16 bytes long

is notably necessary for READ CAPACITY(16) and friends, i.e. support of

The source files of firewire-core, firewire-ohci, firewire-sbp2, i.e.
"drivers/firewire/fw-*.c"
are renamed to
"drivers/firewire/core-*.c",
"drivers/firewire/ohci.c",
"drivers/firewire/sbp2.c".
The old fw- prefix was redundant to the directory name. The new core-
prefix distinguishes the files according to which driver they belong to.
This change comes a little late, but still before further firewire
drivers are added as anticipated RSN.
