![]() Per IEEE 1394 clause 8.4.2.3, a contender for the IRM role shall check whether the current IRM complies to 1394a-2000 or later. If not force a compliant node (e.g. itself) to become IRM. This was implemented in the older ieee1394 driver but not yet in firewire-core. An older Sony camcorder (Sony DCR-TRV25) which implements 1394-1995 IRM but neither 1394a-2000 IRM nor BM was now found to cause an interoperability bug: - Camcorder becomes root node when plugged in, hence gets IRM role. - firewire-core successfully contends for BM role, proceeds to perform gap count optimization and resets the bus. - Sony camcorder ignores presence of a BM (against the spec, this is a firmware bug), performs its idea of gap count optimization and resets the bus. - Preceding two steps are repeated endlessly, bus never settles, regular I/O is practically impossible. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.firewire.user/3913 This is an interoperability regression from the old to the new drivers. Fix it indirectly by adding the 1394a IRM check. The spec suggests three and a half methods to determine 1394a compliance of a remote IRM; we choose the method of testing the Config_ROM.Bus_Info.generation field. This is data that firewire-core should have readily available at this point, i.e. does not require extra I/O. Reported-by: Clemens Ladisch <clemens@ladisch.de> (missing 1394a check) Reported-by: H.
