RFC 2734 defines the datagram_size field in fragment encapsulation
headers thus:

    datagram_size:  The encoded size of the entire IP datagram.  The
    value of datagram_size [...] SHALL be one less than the value of
    Total Length in the datagram's IP header (see STD 5, RFC 791).

Accordingly, the eth1394 driver of Linux 2.6.36 and older set and got
this field with a -/+1 offset:

    ether1394_tx() /* transmit */
        ether1394_encapsulate_prep()
            hdr->ff.dg_size = dg_size - 1;

    ether1394_data_handler() /* receive */
        if (hdr->common.lf == ETH1394_HDR_LF_FF)
            dg_size = hdr->ff.dg_size + 1;
        else
            dg_size = hdr->sf.dg_size + 1;

Likewise, I observe OS X 10.4 and Windows XP Pro SP3 to transmit 1500
byte sized datagrams in fragments with datagram_size=1499 if link
fragmentation is required.

Only firewire-net sets and gets datagram_size without this offset.  The
result is lacking interoperability of firewire-net with OS X, Windows
XP, and presumably Linux' eth1394.  (I did not test with the latter.)
For example, FTP data transfers to a Linux firewire-net box with max_rec
smaller than the 1500 bytes MTU
  - from OS X fail entirely,
  - from Win XP start out with a bunch of fragmented datagrams which
    time out, then continue with unfragmented datagrams because Win XP
    temporarily reduces the MTU to 576 bytes.

So let's fix firewire-net's datagram_size accessors.

Note that firewire-net thereby loses interoperability with unpatched
firewire-net, but only if link fragmentation is employed.  (This happens
with large broadcast datagrams, and with large datagrams on several
FireWire CardBus cards with smaller max_rec than equivalent PCI cards,
and it can be worked around by setting a small enough MTU.)

The IP-over-1394 driver firewire-net lacked input validation when
handling incoming fragmented datagrams.  A maliciously formed fragment
with a respectively large datagram_offset would cause a memcpy past the
datagram buffer.

So, drop any packets carrying a fragment with offset + length larger
than datagram_size.

In addition, ensure that
  - GASP header, unfragmented encapsulation header, or fragment
    encapsulation header actually exists before we access it,
  - the encapsulated datagram or fragment is of nonzero size.

The maximum unicast datagram size /without/ link fragmentation is
4096 - 4 = 4092 (max IEEE 1394 async payload size at >= S800 bus speed,
minus unfragmented encapssulation header).  Max broadcast datagram size
without fragmentation is 8 bytes less than that (due to GASP header).

The maximum datagram size /with/ link fragmentation is 0xfff = 4095
for unicast and broadcast.  This is because the RFC 2734 fragment
encapsulation header field for datagram size is only 12 bits wide.

firewire-net, like the older eth1394 driver, reduced the initial MTU to
less than 1500 octets if the local link layer controller's asynchronous
packet reception limit was lower.

This is bogus, since this reception limit does not have anything to do
with the transmission limit.  Neither did this reduction affect the TX
path positively, nor could it prevent link fragmentation at the RX path.

Many FireWire CardBus cards have a max_rec of 9, causing an initial MTU
of 1024 - 16 = 1008.  RFC 2734 and RFC 3146 allow a minimum max_rec = 8,
which would result in an initial MTU of 512 - 16 = 496.  On such cards,
IPv6 could only be employed if the MTU was manually increased to 1280 or
more, i.e. IPv6 would not work without intervention from userland.

We now always initialize the MTU to 1500, which is the default according
to RFC 2734 and RFC 3146.

On a VIA VT6316 based CardBus card which was affected by this, changing
the MTU from 1008 to 1500 also increases TX bandwidth by 6 %.
RX remains unaffected.

mistakenly introduced an upper limit for firewire-net's MTU based on the
local link layer controller's reception capability.  Revert this.  Neither
RFC 2734 nor our implementation impose any particular upper limit.

Actually, to be on the safe side and to make the code explicit, set
ETH_MAX_MTU = 65535 as upper limit now.

(I replaced sizeof(struct rfc2734_header) by the equivalent
RFC2374_FRAG_HDR_SIZE in order to avoid distracting long/int conversions.)

FireWire upper layer drivers are converted from generic
    struct driver.probe() and .remove()
to bus-specific
    struct fw_driver.probe() and .remove().

The new .probe() adds a const struct ieee1394_device_id *id argument,
indicating the entry in the driver's device identifiers table which
matched the fw_unit to be probed.  This new argument is used by the
snd-firewire-speakers driver to look up device-specific parameters and
methods.  There is at least one other FireWire audio driver currently in
development in which this will be useful too.

The new .remove() drops the unused error return code.

Although all in-tree drivers are being converted to the new methods,
support for the old methods is left in place in this commit.  This
allows public developer trees to merge this commit and then move to the
new fw_driver methods.

Inspection of upper layer protocol is considered harmful, especially
if it is about ARP or other stateful upper layer protocol; driver
cannot (and should not) have full state of them.

IPv4 over Firewire module used to inspect ARP (both in sending path
and in receiving path), and record peer's GUID, max packet size, max
speed and fifo address.  This patch removes such inspection by extending
our "hardware address" definition to include other information as well:
max packet size, max speed and fifo.  By doing this, The neighbour
module in networking subsystem can cache them.

Note: As we have started ignoring sspd and max_rec in ARP/NDP, those
      information will not be used in the driver when sending.

When a packet is being sent, the IP layer fills our pseudo header with
the extended "hardware address", including GUID and fifo.  The driver
can look-up node-id (the real but rather volatile low-level address)
by GUID, and then the module can send the packet to the wire using
parameters provided in the extendedn hardware address.

This approach is realistic because IP over IEEE1394 (RFC2734) and IPv6
over IEEE1394 (RFC3146) share same "hardware address" format
in their address resolution protocols.

Here, extended "hardware address" is defined as follows:

union fwnet_hwaddr {
	u8 u[16];
	struct {
		__be64 uniq_id;		/* EUI-64			*/
		u8 max_rec;		/* max packet size		*/
		u8 sspd;		/* max speed			*/
		__be16 fifo_hi;		/* hi 16bits of FIFO addr	*/
		__be32 fifo_lo;		/* lo 32bits of FIFO addr	*/
	} __packed uc;
};

Note that Hardware address is declared as union, so that we can map full
IP address into this, when implementing MCAP (Multicast Cannel Allocation
Protocol) for IPv6, but IP and ARP subsystem do not need to know this
format in detail.

One difference between original ARP (RFC826) and 1394 ARP (RFC2734)
is that 1394 ARP Request/Reply do not contain the target hardware address
field (aka ar$tha).  This difference is handled in the ARP subsystem.

| As far as I can tell, it would be best to ignore max_rec and sspd from ARP
| and NDP but keep using the respective information from firewire-core
| instead (handed over by fwnet_probe()).
|
| Why?  As I noted earlier, RFC 2734:1999 and RFC 3146:2001 were apparently
| written with a too simplistic notion of IEEE 1394 bus topology, resulting
| in max_rec and sspd in ARP-1394 and NDP-1394 to be useless, IMO.
|
| Consider a bus like this:
|
|     A ---- B ==== C
|
| A, B, C are all IP-over-1394 capable nodes.  ---- is an S400 cable hop,
| and ==== is an S800 cable hop.
|
| In case of unicasts or multicasts in which node A is involved as
| transmitter or receiver, as well as in case of broadcasts, the speeds
| S100, S200, S400 work and speed S400 is optimal.
|
| In case of anything else, IOW in case of unicasts or multicasts in which
| only nodes B and C are involved, the speeds S100, S200, S400, S800 work
| and speed S800 is optimal.
|
| Clearly, node A should indicate sspd = S400 in its ARP or NDP packets.
| But which sspd should nodes B and C set there?  Maybe they set S400, which
| would work but would waste half of the available bandwidth in the second
| case.  Or maybe they set S800, which is OK in the second case but would
| prohibit any communication with node A if blindly taken for correct.
|
| On the other hand, firewire-core *always* gives us the correct and optimum
| peer-to-peer speed and asynchronous packet payload, no matter how simple
| or complex the bus topology is and no matter in which temporal order nodes
| join the bus and are discovered.

This patch fixes both the transmit and receive portion of sending
fragmented mutlicast and broadcast packets.

The transmit section was broken because the offset for INTFRAG and
LASTFRAG packets were just miscalculated by IEEE1394_GASP_HDR_SIZE (which
was reserved with skb_push() in fwnet_send_packet).

The receive section was broken because in fwnet_incoming_packet is a call
to fwnet_peer_find_by_node_id(). Called with generation == -1 it will
not find a peer and the partial datagrams are associated to a peer.

[Stefan R:  The fix to use context->card->generation is not perfect.
It relies on the IR tasklet which processes packets from the prior bus
generation to run before the self-ID-complete worklet which sets the
current card generation.  Alas, there is no simple way of a race-free
implementation.  Let's do it this way for now.]

because there are generally multiple ones of those per interface (from
all RFC 2734 peers on the bus, the local node being only one of them).

Change memory region to ohci "middle address space". This effectively
