      firewire: keep highlevel drivers attached during brief connection loss · 3d36a0df
      Stefan Richter authored 
      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.

      firewire: unnecessary BM delay after generation rollover · 8cd0bbbd
      Stefan Richter authored 
      Noticed by Jarod Wilson:  The bus manager work was unnecessarily delayed
each time the bus generation counter rolled over.

      firewire: insist on successive self ID complete events · a5c7f471
      Stefan Richter authored 
      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.
