Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

With "modprobe sbp2 long_ieee1394_id=y", the format of
/sys/bus/scsi/devices/*:*:*:*/ieee1394_id is changed from e.g.
0001041010004beb:0:0 to 0001041010004beb:00042c:0000.
The longer format fully conforms to object identifier sizes as per
SAM(-2...4) and reflects what the SAM target port identifier is meant to
contain: A Discovery ID allegedly specified by ISO/IEC 13213:1994 ---
however there is no such thing; the authors of SAM probably meant
Directory ID). Especially target nodes with multiple dynamically added
targets may use Directory IDs to persistently identify target ports.
The new format is independent of implementation details of nodemgr.
Thus the same ieee1394_id attribute format can be implemented in the new
firewire stack.
The ieee1394_id is typically used to create persistently named links in
/dev/disk/by-id.

This patch consolidates some bookkeeping for driver registering. It
closely models what pci_register_driver() does. The main addition is
that the owner of the driver is set, so we get a proper symlink
for /sys/bus/ieee1394/driver/*/module.
Also moves setting of name and bus type into nodemgr. Because of this,
we can remove the EXPORT_SYMBOL for ieee1394_bus_type, since it's now
only used in ieee1394.ko.

If "modprobe ohci1394" was quickly followed by "modprobe -r ohci1394",
say with 1 second pause in between, the modprobe -r got stuck in
uninterruptible sleep in kthread_stop. At the same time the knodemgrd
slept uninterruptibly in bus_rescan_devices_helper. That's because
driver_detach took the semaphore of the PCI device and
bus_rescan_devices_helper wanted to take the semaphore of the FireWire
host device's parent, which is the same semaphore. This was a regression
since Linux 2.6.16, commit bf74ad5bc4,
"Hold the device's parent's lock during probe and remove".
The fix (or workaround) adds a dummy driver to the hpsb_host device. Now
bus_rescan_devices_helper won't scan the host device anymore. This
doesn't hurt since we have no drivers which will bind to these devices
and it is unlikely that there will ever be such a driver. The dummy
driver is befittingly presented as a representation of ieee1394 itself.

- The list "struct class.children" is supposed to be protected by
class.sem, not by class.subsys.rwsem.
- nodemgr_remove_uds() iterated over nodemgr_ud_class.children without
proper protection. This was never observed as a bug since the code
is usually only accessed by knodemgrd. All knodemgrds are currently
globally serialized. But userspace can trigger this code too by
writing to /sys/bus/ieee1394/destroy_node.
- Clean up access to the FireWire bus type's subsys.rwsem: Access it
uniformly via ieee1394_bus_type. Shrink rwsem protected regions
where possible. Expand them where necessary. The latter wasn't a
problem so far because knodemgr is globally serialized.
This should harden the interaction of ieee1394 with sysfs and lay ground
for deserialized operation of multiple knodemgrds and for implementation
of subthreads for parallelized scanning and probing.

This patch reduces the size of struct hpsb_host and also removes
semaphores from ieee1394_transactions.c. On i386, struct hpsb_host
shrinks from 10656 bytes to 6688 bytes. This is accomplished by
- using a single wait_queue for hpsb_get_tlabel instead of many
instances of semaphores,
- using a single lock to serialize access to all tlabel pools (the
protected code regions are small, i.e. lock contention very low),
- omitting the sysfs attribute tlabels_allocations.
Drawback: In the rare case that a process needs to sleep because all
transaction labels for the node are temporarily exhausted, it is also
woken up if a tlabel for a different node became free, checks for an
available tlabel, and is put to sleep again. The check is not costly
and the situation occurs extremely rarely. (Tlabels are typically
only exhausted if there was no context switch to the khpsbpkt thread
which recycles tlables.) Therefore the benefit of reduced tpool size
outweighs this drawback.
The sysfs attributes tlabels_free and tlabels_mask are not compiled
anymore unless CONFIG_IEEE1394_VERBOSEDEBUG is set.
The by far biggest member of struct hpsb_host, the struct csr_control
csr (5272 bytes on i386), is now placed at the end of struct hpsb_host.
Note, hpsb_get_tlabel calls the macro wait_event_interruptible with a
condition argument which has a side effect (allocation of a tlabel and
manipulation of the packet). This side effect happens only if the
condition is true. The patch relies on wait_event_interruptible not
evaluating the condition again after it became true.

Another trivial sem2mutex conversion.
Side note: nodemgr_serialize's purpose, when introduced in linux1394's
revision 529 in July 2002, was to protect several data structures which
are now largely handled by or together with Linux' driver core and are
now protected by the LDM's own mechanisms. It may very well be possible
to remove this mutex now. But fully parallelized node scanning is on
our long-term TODO list anyway; the mutex will certainly go away then.

nodemgr.c::fw_set_rescan() is used to re-run the driver core over
nodemgr's representation of unit directories in order to initiate

units after switching a unit's ignore_driver attribute from 1 to 0.
It is not really necessary to fork a kernel_thread for this job. The
call to kernel_thread() can be eliminated to avoid the deprecated API
and to simplify the code a bit.

If ieee1394.h::IEEE1394_SPEED_MAX is bigger than the actual speed of an
1394b host adapter and the speed to another 1394b node was probed, a
bigger speed than actually used was kept in host->speed[n]. The only
resulting problem so far was sbp2 displaying bogus values in the syslog,
e.g. S3200 for actual S800 connections if IEEE1394_SPEED_MAX was S3200.
But other high-level drivers which access this field could get into more
trouble. (Eth1394 is the only other in-tree driver which does so. It
seems it is not affected.)
Nodemgr now clips this value according to the host adapter's link speed.

Add support for the following types of hardware:
+ nodes that have a link speed < PHY speed
+ 1394b PHYs that are less than S800 capable
+ 1394b/1394a adapter cable between two 1394b PHYs
Also, S1600 and S3200 are now supported if IEEE1394_SPEED_MAX is raised.
A probing function is added to nodemgr's config ROM fetching routine
which adjusts the allowable speed if an access problem was encountered.
Pros and Cons of the approach:
+ minimum code footprint to support this less widely used hardware
+ nearly no overhead for unaffected hardware
- ineffective before nodemgr began to read the ROM of affected nodes
- ineffective if ieee1394 is loaded with disable_nodemgr=1
The speed map CSRs which are published to the bus are not touched by the

request to BROADCAST_CHANNEL before the config ROM was read. Affected devices
include Datafab MD2-FW2 2.5" HDD and SmartDisk VST FWCDRW-V8 portable CD writer.
The write request is now directed to specific nodes instead of being broadcast
to all nodes at once, and it is only performed if a previous read request at
this register succeeded.

(cherry picked from 14c0fa243b commit)
After a bus reset, let nodemgr call high-level update hooks first for nodes
which do not need to be probed. The main benefit is for a bus with more
than one SBP-2 device: SBP-2 reconnects will be performed before SBP-2
logins, thus have a much higher chance to succeed, and their SCSI devices
will not be blocked much longer than necessary. This was demonstrated for
Linux 2.4 by Dave Cinege a while ago.
A better approach would be to perform time-consuming probes in parallel by a
subthread. I actually plan to implement this for sbp2 but it may take a
while to get that done and tested. Until then, this tweak is a huge
improvement for users with multiple SBP-2 devices.
