[Bug 6290] Re: DV capture over Firewire is broken (no rights for /dev/raw1394)

2012-09-30 Thread Stefan Richter
Tested:
  - VLC 2.0.3, libraw1394 2.1.0, libdc1394 2.2.0, kernel 3.6-rc7, udev 171, 
Gentoo Linux
  - miniDV camcorder JVC GR-D725E
  - IIDC (DCAM) webcam Apple iSight
  - VIA VT6306 based CardBus FireWire controller
  - Texas Instruments XIO2213A/B based PCIe FireWire controller

"vlc dv://" and "vlc dc1394://" automatically pick up the camcorder or
webcam respectively and display live video.  Sound of the DV stream is
played as well.  I did not try network streaming.  (Never tried it
before and did not figure out how to set up stream output.)

The VT6306 controller does not work very reliably:  For example, if VLC
is stopped and restarted with "kill -STOP $pid" and "kill -CONT $pid",
the DV stream is frozen.  This is a known issue between VT6306 and
current kernels which is also seen with some other capture programs; the
VT6306 does not properly restart its DMA after a period of inactivity of
the capture process.  The Texas Instruments controller does not exhibit
such a problem, as expected.

Somewhat older software revisions should work as well.  libdc1394 and
the VLC dc1394 are irrelevant for DV.

[Bug 6290] Re: DV capture over Firewire is broken (no rights for /dev/raw1394)

2012-09-30 Thread Stefan Richter
Re comment 87:

Eric,
thanks for describing your use case.  I was vaguely aware that VLC has IEEE 
1394 video capture modules, but it is interesting to learn that somebody used 
(is using) it as a means to deliver DV over network.

There are two IEEE 1394 modules in VLC:  "DC1394", implemented by
modules/access/dc1394.c, for cameras which send uncompressed video over
1394 according to the IIDC a.k.a. DCAM standard (industrial cameras,
some old webcams), and "DV1394" alias "dv" alias "raw1394", implemented
by modules/access/dv.c, for camcorders, perhaps tape decks etc. which
send DV over 1394.  From VLC v1.0 to VLC v1.1, these VLC access modules
have been converted to libdc1394 v2 and to libraw1394 v2, respectively.

These updates to current low-level library API versions should mean that VLC 
should work with current kernels and current udev, which should provide the 
following interface:
a) The single global /dev/raw1394 no longer exists.
b) Instead, the kernel provides /dev/fw0, fw1, fw2, ..., one file for each IEEE 
1394 node (including the local node, i.e. the controller card).  These device 
files are binary incompatible with /dev/raw1394 but are functionally 90% 
compatible with /dev/raw1394.
c) Udev should set group ownership or/and access control lists for the "video" 
group or/and the current console owner or some other suitable owner for each 
/dev/fw* device file which corresponds to a video device, e.g. DV camcorder.
d) libdc1394 v2 and libraw1394 v2 are able to automatically select the proper 
/dev/fw* device file for device control and capture.
e) libdc1394 v2 based or libraw1394 v2 based application programs don't notice 
any of that, since they let the libraries deal with the kernel's device files.

Currently I don't have Ubuntu myself (I have got Gentoo Linux but am
subscribed to this bug because I am involved in FireWire kernel drivers
maintenance and libraw1394 maintenance), and I never tried VLC's IEEE
1394 video capture modules.  I will configure my VLC installation to
include these modules, try if they work here (they should work in
principle), and report back.

PS,
kino should work out-of-the box on recent Ubuntu versions, using libraw1394 v2.

[Bug 1045047] Re: Firewire camera is not recognized

2012-09-23 Thread Stefan Richter
PS,
since the kernel never gets a chance to go from in_bus_reset:1 back to 
in_bus_reset:0 while the camera is on, the kernel cannot transmit and receive 
on the bus, and hence dvgrab cannot do anything either.

Bad, as this should become 0 and 2 respectively.  This is consistent
with what you got with the newer kernel:  While the camera is connected
(and switched on), the bus is permanently reset and never finishes a
reset successfully with a self-ID-complete event, after which it would
become usable for system software.

This and the fact that you already replaced the cable and also tested a
PC-to-laptop connection unsuccessfully leaves pretty much only the
conclusion that the port (or the ports) on your FW322/323 based board
are dead.

[Bug 1045047] Re: Firewire camera is not recognized

2012-09-23 Thread Stefan Richter
Thank you very much for testing with the old drivers.  The fact that
nothing gets added to dmesg at the time when the camera is plugged in
shows that the older drivers do not recognize the camera either, fully
or partially.

But could you please run "grep . /sys/bus/ieee1394/devices/*/*" before
and after you connected the (switched-on) camcorder?  There is for
example a file in there with a node count, which would normally be 1
before a device gets added and 2 after successful addition of a device.

/dev/* files won't be added by the old drivers regardless whether
devices are detected or not.  But after "modprobe raw1394" as root, a
/dev/raw1394 is created.  Temporarily give your user permission to read
and write this file, e.g. "chmod a+rw /dev/raw1394", again ran as root
user.  Then retry dvgrab.

> I suppose this points to defect HW?

Yes.

> How easy are these things to break?

Ports which adhere to the old IEEE 1394:1995 specification are
electrically more prone to damage during hotplugging than later
1394a:2000 hardware.  And the 4-pin iLink ports are mechanically not
very reliable.  Damaged 6-pin 1394a ports or 9-pin 1394b ports on the
other hand are not very common but do occasionally happen.

> Will try older Ubuntu later.

If you have the opportunity, please do so.  A driver regression is
unlikely to be the cause of this problem but it would be good if you
could test with older firewire-ohci + firewire-core kernel drivers, or
ideally with the ohci1394 + ieee1394 + raw1394 kernel drivers of kernel
2.6.36 or older to be sure.

[Bug 1045047] Re: Firewire camera is not recognized

2012-09-03 Thread Stefan Richter
The cycle64Seconds interrupt is a regular interrupt caused by a timer of
the FireWire chip.  It is normal and intended (in this version of the
kernel; kernel 3.6 does not enable this interrupt unless an application
requests a certain register which depends on that timer).

The bus reset loop in comment 3, i.e. the cycling endlessly through
generations 0...255 while the camcorder is connected, is indicating a
problem low at the physical layer.  Since we are talking about a
camcorder from 1998 which implements IEEE 1394:1995 but not the
amendment IEEE 1394a:2000, I first suspected that maybe the recent
kernel drivers enable 1394a:2000 physical layer features too
optimistically, so that the camcorder PHY is throwing a fit.

However, seeing that a connection between PC and laptop does not succeed
either, the most likely cause is rather a hardware defect of the cable
or of the PC's card or (less likely) of the laptop's port.

Here is how a successful bus reset with two nodes on the bus should look like, 
with firewire-ohci debug parameter set to 2:
Sep  3 22:34:39 stein kernel: firewire_ohci :0a:00.0: 2 selfIDs, generation 
151, local node ID ffc1
Sep  3 22:34:39 stein kernel: firewire_ohci :0a:00.0: selfID 0: 807fc494, 
phy 0 [p--] beta gc=63 -3W L
Sep  3 22:34:39 stein kernel: firewire_ohci :0a:00.0: selfID 0: 817f8972, 
phy 1 [-c.] S400 gc=63 +15W Lci
(After this hardware-triggered bus reset with self-ID-complete event, one or a 
few more software-triggered bus resets and self-ID-complete events may follow 
when firewire-core or a remote node's firmware or system software reconfigures 
the bus or starts up the node's higher functions.)

So the absence of a second self-identification packet on the PC and the
absence of any interrupt at all on the laptop --- which both have
1394a:2000 compliant PHYs which are known to work with current Linux
drivers --- show that defective hardware (e.g. the cable) is much more
likely to be the culprit here than the drivers.

If you try an older Ubuntu, best would be one which still has the
ieee1394/ ohci1394/ raw1394 kernel drivers, i.e. with kernel 2.6.36 or
older.  I don't remember when these were removed from Ubuntu;
distrowatch.com says at least that Ubuntu 10.10 had kernel 2.6.35.

[Bug 577746] Re: Simple Scan freeze with ieee1394

2011-12-04 Thread Stefan Richter
Does the scan always hang or only sometimes?

CurrentDmesg.txt contains several sessions of the scanner being
connected via 1394 (and maybe via USB in between).  In the first
session, but not in any subsequent ones, is a SCSI read transaction
time-out logged.  That time-out was unrecoverable, hence the kernel's
SCSI core took the device offline.  Basically the 1394 firmware of the
scanner became unresponsive.  The subsequent sessions do not show any
sign of problems in the kernel log.

Is SimpleScanLog.txt from the first session or from a later one?

For the failure mode that a disk is not recognized if plugged in _after_

enabled:

# echo 7 > /sys/module/firewire_ohci/parameters/debug
(suspend)
(resume)

To be sure, repeat this with additional logging of bus reset events:

# modprobe -r firewire-ohci
# modprobe firewire-ohci debug=15
(suspend)
(resume)
(attach FireWire disk)
(collect the dmesg)

Beware, either debug level may possibly cause huge logs.

Of course, either way /should/ work.  But if it makes a difference, it
would mean that the target itself enters a low power state from which it
is unable to resume due to a firmware bug.

Would
# echo 0 > /sys/class/scsi_disk/6:0:0:0/manage_start_stop

[Bug 881688] Re: [Latitude XT3] Firewire nonfunctional after suspend

2011-12-03 Thread Stefan Richter
What FireWire target devices did you test?  According to the first 3
bytes of the GUID (this part is the OUI), it is a device from Buffalo,
Inc.

Observations about CurrentDmesg.txt from comment 1:

  - There is no message along the lines of "PM: resume of
drv:firewire_ohci dev::09:00.0 complete after ...msecs".
Should there be such a message?

  - There is no "Register access failure".

  - After PM resume, self ID receive DMA, AT-req DMA, and AR-resp DMA
work fine, which is evident by "rediscovered device fw1" from
firewire-core.

  - Ditto, physical DMA and AR-req DMA work, since firewire-sbp2
receives an SBP-2 reconnect status block and six pairs of SBP-2
login and logout status blocks from the target.

So, to me it looks unlikely that there is a controller problem.

More likely to me is that the target firmware is crap since it refuses
re-login.  The status codes mean:

  - Received for the reconnect request ORB:
0:9 = Request complete.  Function rejected.

  - Received for each logout and login request ORB:
0:4 = Request complete.  Access denied.

Of course, there /still/ could be a controller problem because perhaps
the physical DMA delivered malformed reconnect or logout or login ORBs
to the target.  But I think this is highly unlikely.

So far, I don't know what to make of this information.

I was thinking about asking for a debug log with "firewire-ohci debug=3"
(logging of AT, AR, and self-ID-R DMA interrupt events), but that would
show only a fraction of the picture since most of the SBP-2
communication occurs without CPU interrupts by means of OHCI-1394
physical DMA (something like remote DMA).

2011-08-31 Thread Stefan Richter
While we are at adding a quirk table entry for this controller --- could
you please test whether another common controller bug is present in this
device?

For the test, you need to have gcc installed, download this test tool:
http://user.in-berlin.de/~s5r6/linux1394/utils/test_cycle_time_v20100125.c
compile it with "gcc test_cycle_time_v20100125.c", and run it with "sudo 
./a.out /dev/fw0".

The program then runs (possibly silently) for 60 seconds and then prints
a test summary.  Please post this output here.

The controller bug which is being tested for concerns timestamps which
are used in industrial video applications and for audio I/O over
FireWire.  You can run this test without any devices attached to the
FireWire controller, or with arbitrary devices attached to it (storage,
video, audio --- doesn't matter for the test; and if you have a FireWire
disk attached, you can even leave it mounted during the test).

Even if you don't have any of those devices yourself for which this
potential other controller bug would be relevant, it would be nice if
you could run the test and report the result.  It could be of help to
other fellow Linux users who may have such a device combination.

Aren't there more messages surrounding this/ leading up to this?  If
there are more, you could for example take a photograph and attach the

The messages above do not identify which kernel subsystem crashed.

[Bug 792464] Re: Can't enable firewire

2011-06-29 Thread Stefan Richter
The help.ubuntu.com page and the Kino message are a bit outdated.  With newer 
kernels, the software stack looks like this:
 -- firewire-ohci (kernel driver) -- firewire-core (kernel driver) -- 
libraw1394 -- Kino

Please post the following information:

lspci -nn | grep 1394

grep firewire /proc/interrupts

ls -l /dev/fw*

dmesg

Run the latter two commands half a minute or so after you plugged in/
switched on the camcorder.

Try:

# modprobe -r firewire-ohci
# modprobe firewire-ohci quirks=0x10

Then confirm with "dmesg | tail -55" that the driver was unloaded and
re-loaded with the 0x10 quirks flag which disables MSI.  After that,
attach whatever FireWire device you are having and watch dmesg again for
new messages.  If nothing seems to happen, check again after about half

libraw1394 is written to use it.  Kino uses libraw1394; it does not
access the kernel directly.

Please describe in what way DV capture is broken.

Also please attach the output of dmesg that contains messages from 
firewire.ohci and firewire-core

Joan:
1. "I am experiencing problems" is not a bug report.
2. Unibrain Fire-i is neither a storage device nor a 1394b device, like in this 
bug.
3. This bug here occurs only in firewire-ohci of kernel 2.6.35...2.6.35.7 and 
nothing else.
4. Ubuntu 10.04 with kernel 2.6.32 uses the older ohci1394 driver per default.

Why are you commenting at this bug at all?

Open a new bug with a detailed problem description.  Or better yet, mail
a detailed problem description to a relevant upstream mailinglist:
linux1394-user if it seems to be a generic FireWire problem, coriander-
user if the problems specifically occur in the Coriander capture
software, libdc1394-devel if the problems occur in another libdc1394

could help with problems like you might have is going to accidently see
a report here on bugs.launchpad.net.  (Cf. how Eric got his problem
resolved.)

[Bug 550010] Re: Unable to transfer digital video content from SONY camcorder to PC

2010-09-29 Thread Stefan Richter
Robert Stagner's report is a duplicate of bug 6290 (no raw1394 rule in
Ubuntu's udev ruleset).

Re comment 2:
Wrong tip.  See bug 6290.

Re comment 7:
Vince McIntyre 's report, while motivated by the same bug, is something else.  
The dmesg indicates that the FireWire bus is malfunctioning on the physical 
level, i.e. that the hardware is defective.

Re comment 8:
Dvgrab and kino do not require the cycle timer register access that is tested 
by the utility and fixed up for VIA controllers by firewire-core in kernel 
2.6.34 and later.  Nor does this register affect the physical operation of the 
bus.  The messages "isochronous cycle too long" come from a controller 
interrupt which is sent if the controller does not receive a so-called cycle 
start packet within a certain time interval.  This indicates that there is 
something more fundamentally wrong with this camcorder (or combination of 
camcorder, cable, controller, and PC) than what was fixed in kernel 2.6.35 (an 
issue with buggy firmware on some but not all Sony camcorders which resulted in 
both the camcorder and the Linux PC issuing conflicting gap counts).

Some more information about the problem may perhaps be revealed by
# modprobe -r firewire-ohci
# modprobe firewire-ohci debug=-1
Then plug the camcorder in and watch /var/log/messages.

[Bug 529524] Re: Impossible to activate the new firewire kernel stack on Karmic or Lucid

2010-06-06 Thread Stefan Richter
Hi Huygens,

Dan Dennedy wrote at bug #6290 comment #78:
> I learned that you must update the initrd images after changing the blacklist 
> file:
> sudo update-initramfs -k all -u

I.e. because ohci1394 is present in the original initrd (initial RAM
disk with a minimal preliminary root filesystem), it got bound to the
OHCI-1394 controller during boot-up instead of firewire-ohci.  (The wiki
page at kernel.org does currently lack this extra information.  I'll add
it soon.)

Later on, when ieee1394 discovered that an SBP-2 compliant device is
present behind the OHCI-1394 controller, it sends an "uevent" to
userspace with the SBP-2 module alias.  Both the new firewire-core-based
firewire-sbp2 driver and the old ieee1394-based sbp2 driver match this
alias.  Modprobe will load the first one of these modules (minus any
that was blacklisted), in your case firewire-sbp2.  firewire-core gets
loaded as a prerequisite for firewire-sbp2.  However, since firewire-
core sees no controller (only ieee1394 sees one), firewire-sbp2 gets
nothing to do either.  You could use the SBP-2 device only if you
manually load sbp2.

/Or/ you manually unload ohci1394, then manually load firewire-ohci.
After that, the new stack will work, including firewire-sbp2 being
automatically loaded and bound to the SBP-2 device.

/Or/ you can attempt to replace the initrd as described by Dan.  That
change will become effective at the next reboot.

[Bug 320898] Re: Cant use firewire for DV capture

ericbuntu,

does "cat /proc/interrupts" show ohci1394?

I wonder why no messages from ohci1394 and ieee1394 are present in your
dmesg --- there should at least some from when the ohci1394 driver was
loaded.  According to the lspci output, the kernel has all information
available that is required to detect that ohci1394 is to be bound to the
FW323 chip.  Did you cut too much out of the dmesg?  (If you don't want
to reboot to get a fresh new dmesg buffer, you can also run "modprobe -r
dv1394 ohci1394; modprobe ohci1394" as root or with sudo and check
whether anything new appears in dmesg at that time.

If /yes/, then plug in/ switch on the camcorder and check dmesg again.
Also run "grep . /sys/bus/ieee1394/devices/*/*".  Post the outputs of
dmesg and of the grep command here (as attachments if they are large).

Did you blacklist dv1394 and video1394 as well?

Does an /etc/modprobe.conf exist on Ubuntu?  If yes, regenerate it by
"update-modules" or delete the file.  modprobe ignores /etc/modprobe.d/*
if /etc/modprobe.conf exists.

Does the initrd contain ohci1394?  Hard to tell how to check that, as I
never create and use initrd myself.  Maybe dmesg gives away whether
ohci1394 was loaded early.  OTOH, that should lead to _both_ modules
being loaded, not only ohci1394.

2010-05-21 Thread Stefan Richter
> There is apparently a lot of missing kernel support here

There is nothing missing in the new stack.  And what is missing in the
old stack could have been added to it if development manpower would have
been available, or better yet, development and deployment of the new
stack could have been sped up with developer and tester manpower.

> unsafe hacks around that won't be accepted upstream

Do you mean upstream udev?  They also accepted Ubuntu's video1394 and
dv1394 rules that had typos in them such that they never matched. (Or
they added the typos themselves when they merged Ubuntu's rules, I don't
know.  Commit 41e7f557.)  The fact that they removed the raw1394 rule
(commit a8cf7cf) with a mere pointer to this distro bug here but without
an own analysis of costs vs. rewards or without checking back with
raw1394/ libraw1394 developers also shows that upstream is not in a
position to judge what is safe and unsafe.  You Ubuntu developers OTOH
(a) kept confusing device security with host security and raw1394 flaws
with ohci1394/sbp2 flaws, (b) never analyzed the actual risks, (c) never
analyzed the costs of the rule removal, (d) never researched potential
alternatives.  Upstream udev simply trusted your judgment, which was a
mistake.  (And I didn't push for a revert when I noticed this because I
thought that the new firewire drivers would show up in distributions any
day now or distributors would at least begin to ask for them, which was
a mistaken belief on my side.)

One more word on hacks:  Ubuntu's raw1394 rule removal was initially
motivated by host security implications but did not in fact solve them,
because that's the wrong point to go at.  It's ohci1394 and a feature of
it on which sbp2 relied.

> You are of course welcome to add one locally if you are in a trusted
or single-user environment.

That's 1990's Linux mindset.  This is an unacceptable hack too.

You OTOH were of course welcome to discuss your concerns and
requirements with upstream kernel/ library/ application developers when
you removed the rule in Ubuntu, or at least later when this change went
upstream.  I'm not even talking about contribution of tests or code.

Hmm, maybe I should have taken initiative two years ago (that's when
transparent dual stack capability was implemented in libraw1394 by Dan)
and should have pushed for the new stack to be provided by default in
Ubuntu.  The then half-working new stack might have been preferable to
the mostly non-working old stack as configured in Ubuntu.

2010-05-20 Thread Stefan Richter
Re comment 71:

  - If both stacks are installed but none blacklisted, then the kernel's
driver core should first attempt to bind firewire-ohci before ohci1394.
This is tied to the build order in the kernel's build system.  However,
it may go wrong for one or another reason; e.g. ohci1394 present in
initrd or whatever.

  - The udev rules for firewire-core's files are fine; I referred to the
missing rule for raw1394.  (BTW, I hope that we as upstream stay in
control of firewire udev rules now, but I'm afraid I cannot monitor udev
development as closely as desirable.)

[Bug 6290] Re: DV capture over Firewire is broken (no rights for /dev/raw1394)

2010-05-20 Thread Stefan Richter
PS:
Nice work, Ubuntu maintainers.  Instead of helping upstream to get the raw1394 
security issue resolved, your only contribution was to create a huge support 
workload for the various affected upstream projects.  Not to mention the 
damaging user experience that you provided to your users, and later to users of 
several other distributions too when you pushed your ill-advised udev rules 
upstream.

[Bug 6290] Re: DV capture over Firewire is broken (no rights for /dev/raw1394)

2010-05-20 Thread Stefan Richter
I agree with Dan's comment #68 except for the FFADO status.  As the
status message that Dan quotes correctly states, new kernel drivers +
libraw1394 + FFADO are working together since end of 12/2009.  The only
issue is that a small fix in FFADO _may_ (or may not) be required that
came after the FFADO release v2.0.0.  (I believe that fix was not
required in my own testing.)  Everybody is still holding their breath
for a 2.0.1 maintenance release or the much anticipated 2.1 feature
release of FFADO --- except Debian who simply package current FFADO
trunk which works fine.  Hence Ubuntu or Ubuntu Studio et al should
already have a fine FFADO package too.

I guess we as upstream need to communicate more clearly that the new
drivers should be used by default now, and the old ones blacklisted or
disabled entirely.

[Bug 276463] Re: Enable new Firewire stack in default kernel config

2010-05-20 Thread Stefan Richter
Kernel 2.6.32 (2 December 2009) and libraw1394 v2.0.5 (26 December 2009)
contain the fixes that are required for FFADO.  Debugged and implemented
by Jay Fenlason.

I believe I had vanilla FFADO v2.0.0 running with these, but Debian's
FFADO maintainer packages FFADO trunk which contains a small fix that is
related to the new FireWire drivers.  I don't know how essential that
fix is.  I heard FFADO is going to do a v2.0.1 maintenance release
eventually; however, Debian's current FFADO package is closer t what
will become FFADO v2.1 --- also to be released "any day now" with much
extended hardware support (independent of whether old or new firewire
kernel drivers are used).

In short:  After storage, consumer video, industrial video, and IP
networking, FireWire audio as the last missing piece in the puzzle works
through the new kernel driver stack too since end of 12/2009.

Note that Ubuntu's current defaults (old stack, no user access to
raw1394) effectively prevents non-experts from using FireWire for
anything else than storage devices (and even those with less performance
and compatibility than the new drivers offer).

[Bug 543343] [NEW] ath5k driver misspells the ESSID for ad-hoc networks

2010-03-21 Thread Stefan Richter
Public bug reported:

I tried to set up a wireless ad-hoc network with my atheros wlan chip.
But I did not get it work because the ath5k driver seems to be corrupt.
After a few seconds the ESSID changed to a random value.

The following script reproduces the error:
ifconfig wlan0 down
iwconfig wlan0 essid "WLAN" mode Ad-Hoc channel 3
ifconfig wlan0 up

iwconfig wlan0  # correct output

ifconfig wlan0 down
iwconfig wlan0 essid "WLAN" mode Ad-Hoc channel 3
ifconfig wlan0 up

sleep 3

iwconfig wlan0  # incorrect output

I got the following output:
r...@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu/Desktop# ./wlan-script.sh 
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg  ESSID:"WLAN"  
  Mode:Ad-Hoc  Frequency:2.422 GHz  Cell: Not-Associated

As you can see the ESSID changed to a random string after a delay of 3
seconds. So I can not set up a ad-hoc network ...

[Bug 6290] Re: DV capture over Firewire is broken (no rights for /dev/raw1394)

2010-02-06 Thread Stefan Richter
Re comment 61:
> Now i do not know what are the implications of unblocking the firewire-ohci, 
> but
> that was the solution that made my kino/kdenlive worked beautifully

The implication is that you switched from
ohci1394 + ieee1394 + raw1394 ( /dev/raw1394 ) --- libraw1394 + libiec61883 
+ kino
to
firewire-ohci + firewire-core ( /dev/fw* ) --- libraw1394 + libiec61883 + 
kino
i.e. to different newer FireWire kernel drivers and a different character 
device file interface.  This is basically what the blueprint "Enable new 
Firewire stack in default kernel config" is about.  (See box at the right side 
of this page.)

The new kernel drivers are simpler, better performing, more compliant to
specifications, and more secure than the older drivers.  In contrast to
Ubuntu's raw1394 access policy, firewire-core's device files are created
with more liberal access permissions for devices which need to be (and
are safe to be) accessed by userspace programs such as kino.

I tested this with Kino 1.3.3 on Gentoo Linux right now.  While it is
true that there is a message about failure to set the 1394 port when the
"Export" mode is entered (which starts with the IEEE 1394 export tab up
front), this failure does not prevent one from switching to any of the
file export tabs and export to a file there.  (I tried DV file export.)

If file export does not work for you, then it is _not_ related to IEEE
1394 nor to Ubuntu's permission policy.(If it were, then I would
have been able to reproduce it on Gentoo Linux.)  The recommendation to
try Kino 1.3.4 still stands though in case of any remaining export
troubles.  If an update still does not help --- or if it helps but
Ubuntu package repositories (Universe or whatever) do not provide Kino
1.3.4 yet --- then please open a new bug.

This is a different bug.  You could report it separately in a new bug
entry.  But before that, please test the current version of Kino first
(version 1.3.4), which appears to be available as a package now.  (I saw
that Debian packaged it, hence I guess it is also available on Ubuntu.
I don't have Debian or Ubuntu myself.)

Free software means, among else, that distributors and/or users can fix 
problems themselves if they have the necessary knowledge or experience.  And 
indeed, the /dev/raw1394 permissions problem
   - does not exist on several other distributions than Ubuntu,
   - can be fixed by Ubuntu users by adding a local udev rule (there is 
guidance somewhere on the Ubuntu wiki (help.ubuntu.com) as well as on the 
upstream wiki, see comment 55),
   - is going to be fixed in Ubuntu as well in a future release, when Ubuntu 
fully switches to newer kernel drivers which implement a superior device access 
concept and thus address the security concerns that were brought up by Ubuntu 
package maintainers and many others.
On the other hand, free software does _not_ mean that everything works 
immediately or is being fixed for you, at no cost, in a matter of hours.

[Bug 6290] Re: DV capture over Firewire is broken (no rights for /dev/raw1394)

2009-12-26 Thread Stefan Richter
I suspect they will fix it in a future Ubuntu release by replacing the
kernel drivers ohci1394 + ieee1394 + raw1394 by the kernel drivers
firewire-ohci + firewire-core.  Presently, those newer drivers are
already shipped in Ubuntu's kernel packages in parallel with the older
drivers.  The older ones are the default and the newer ones can be
enabled by editing a respective system configuration file (kernel module
blacklist, http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Juju_Migration
#How_to_suppress_auto-loading) as administrator.

Well, the other possible workaround on current Ubuntu also requires
editing or creating a system configuration file (udev rule file for
raw1394,
http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/FAQ#How_to_get_access_to_raw1394_as_unprivileged_user.3F).
I doubt that the Ubuntu udev maintainer will suddenly reconsider his
preference and re-introduce such a raw1394 rule, therefore expect to
have to wait for a next release (Lucid perhaps?) to get this bug fixed
by a switch to firewire-core as default kernel driver.

[Bug 27287] Re: external firewire sbp2 login timeout

2009-10-04 Thread Stefan Richter
PS:
Here is an article about the inner workings of Drobo and what this implies for 
its support by Linux (not FireWire-specific):
http://groups.google.com/group/drobo-talk/web/linux-support?hl=en
Due to Drobo and DroboPro firmware limitations, it is currently impractical to 
use a logical unit size larger than the default 2.0 TiB under Linux:
http://groups.google.com/group/drobo-talk/browse_thread/thread/34f08da1708d2f7b
I.e. if you have more than 2 TB net disk space built into the Drobo or 
DroboPro, it needs to be exposed to Linux as a 2nd and perhaps 3rd logical unit 
indeed.

[Bug 27287] Re: external firewire sbp2 login timeout

2009-10-04 Thread Stefan Richter
Adam,

the failure mode which you are reporting is different.
  a) The other reporters got a login timeout i.e. no login response.  You get a 
login failure i.e. an error response.
  b) The problem reported by the others seemed to be generic, while I suspect 
your problem to be specific to the disk enclosure which you are using.



According to the vendor OUI of the device, it is from Data Robotics,
i.e. a Drobo or a DroboPro.  Which one is it?  How much disk capacity is
in it (how many disks of what size, and how much of it is usable
according to Data Robotics' size calculator)?

Your log in comment 20 shows that one logical unit of 2.19 TB/ 1.99 TiB
size was detected and should be fully functional (in the session you
logged: /dev/sdb as the block device, with a single partition on it:
/dev/sdb1).

Furthermore, the log shows that two further logical units on this device
were detected, but the sbp2 driver got an error status when it attempted
to log in into these two logical units.  Should your Drobo or DroboPro
expose three logical units?

What do you get when you connect it via USB?
Are you able to test it with Windows or OS X?
Is a current firmware installed on the Drobo or DroboPro?



As far as I have read, Drobo and DroboPro will divide their total
available disk space --- minus space required for redundancy etc. ---
into logical units whose size can be configured with Data Robotics'
dashboard application for Windows and OS X, or with the community-
maintained drobo-utils for Linux.  The default size of the logical units
is 2 TiB (or TB?).

(As a side note:  If you want to use logical units bigger than 2.0 TiB
over FireWire, you need a recent FireWire kernel driver update, released
in the kernel.org versions 2.6.31, 2.6.30.5, and 2.6.27.30:
http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Release_Notes .  Without this
driver update, FireWire disks larger than 2.0 TiB will be shown as
merely 2.0 TiB sized.  This is _not_ related to the login failures to
your 2nd and 3rd logical unit though.)

[Bug 27287] Re: external firewire sbp2 login timeout

2009-10-02 Thread Stefan Richter
I don't see anything related to 1394 in david's comments.  Wrong bug
number?

-

Those who still have sbp2 login failures should please try the following:
  - Make sure to have a somewhat recent kernel package which has 
firewire-ohci.ko installed in parallel with ohci1394.ko.
  - Switch from the drivers ohci1394 + ieee1394 + sbp2 to the drivers 
firewire-ohci + firewire-core + firewire-sbp2 by editing a module blacklist 
file:
http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Juju_Migration#How_to_suppress_auto-loading

This suggestion is because firewire-core + firewire-sbp2 bring
enhancements WRT SBP-2 login (and further enhancements, e.g. to
1394a/S400 throughput).  Alas I cannot be more specific which kernel
package version is minimally required for this and which particular
modprobe configuration file to edit since I don't have Ubuntu installed
myself.

It can't be /entirely/ the same problem.  Please post all relevant

check whether Lite-On offers any firmware updates.

Since this seems to fix it, you can permanently replace ohci1394 + ieee1394 + 
sbp2 by the newer drivers firewire-ohci + firewire-core + firewire-sbp2.  Check 
for relevant configuration files with "grep -r -e firewire -e 1394 /etc/mod*" 
and have a look at 
http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Juju_Migration#How_to_suppress_auto-loading
 
(I don't have Ubuntu installed here hence I don't know which particular config

OK, this is how it should be; raw1394 _should_ be automatically loaded
with that when a DV device appears.  Could be that the drivers have a
special problem with your particular camera.

Your local change to the udev rules does not influence autoloading, only
how device file ownership is set up when /dev/raw1394 is created.

2009-04-19 Thread Stefan Richter
Why does Ubuntu (or only your two test boxes?) not load raw1394
automatically when a DV device is plugged in?

Are the module aliases somehow missing in Ubuntu's raw1394? (Run
"modinfo raw1394".)

Or does Ubuntu have a "blacklist raw1394" directive somewhere in /etc?
(Run "grep -r 'blacklist raw1394' /etc/".)

Or was the ieee1394 driver for some reason unable to identify your
camera as DV device, thus never generated the hotplug even (so-called
uevent) which would tell the userland to load raw1394? (The dmesg output
would help to answer this.)

See my previous comment.  I would like to get more info about what's
happening on Ubuntu since I do not have Ubuntu installed myself, hence
can't check myself easily.

I'm not speaking for Canonical, I'm not even using Ubuntu.  I'm only
watching this bug because I am one of the upstream kernel driver
developers (ieee1394; Carl's report was loosely related to 1394).

If there is a possibility that a bug is an upstream bug --- and if your
distributor has no manpower to look at bugs and to get in touch with
upstream themselves --- then file a report with upstream.  Best would be
of course if one of you could test an unmodified kernel.org kernel for
your report; ideally the latest release*.  (Note, reports about kernels
with proprietary drivers inserted into them do not have much value for
bugzilla.kernel.org because such kernels cannot really be debugged.)

2009-02-09 Thread Stefan Richter
PeterNSteinmetz, this is different from the other reporters' issues.
Yours is likely bad hardware, perhaps bad firmware.  The drivers can't
do anything about it.  It could perhaps be caused by old revisions of
1394b physical interface chips (TI TSB81BA3 erratum without software
workaround).  If you have a 1394a (FireWire 400) device at hand, plug
this into the bus too.  This forces the bus to use slower and safer
1394a arbitration instead of 1394b arbitration.  (But it can still work
with 800 Mb/s data rate if the FireWire 400 device is located at an end
of the bus, i.e. not between the FireWire 800 devices.)

[Bug 311771] Re: WD My Book doesn't properly unmount on PC shutdown

2009-02-01 Thread Stefan Richter
Well, unmounting a read-only filesystem may very well go through without
any SCSI request...

Anyway.  Maybe the WD My Book does not handle the SCSI START STOP UNIT command 
like the Linux SCSI core expects.  You could try adding a device quirks 
workaround which influences the parameters for this SCSI command.  You can 
activate this workaround ad hoc by
# modprobe sbp2
# echo 0x20 > /sys/module/sbp2/parameters/workarounds
Then plug the disk in.

You can enable this workaround permanently, i.e. persistent after any reboots 
and startups, by
# echo "options sbp2 workarounds=0x20" >> /etc/modprobe.d/options

But another reason could be that the WD My Book returns wrong SCSI
status if it gets commands while in standby, leading the kernel's SCSI
core to believe that all was fine and it hadn't to send START STOP UNIT
at all.  Then I don't see what could be done about it.

dvgrab v3 uses only raw1394, not the dv1394 kernel module.

The dv1394 special-purpose driver will actually stay in the kernel as
log as the whole ieee1394 driver stack.  But the new alternative
firewire stack, which is meant to replace the ieee1394 stack eventually,
won't provide an interface with binary compatibility to the dv1394
driver's interface.

I guess I should change the dv1394 driver to emit the scary log message
only when actually opened by an application, not immediately when the
driver is initialized.

(I am maintainer of the upstream kernel's IEEE 1394 driver subsystem.  I
don't have Ubuntu myself.)

> 8. Realize you need to modprobe raw1394 module into your running
kernel.

This could be a problem with Ubuntu's udev setup, or it could be a
problem at the kernel level or hardware level.

Whenever a DV/ miniDV/ HDV camcorder is plugged in and is recognized as
such by the ieee1394 base driver (which needs the ohci1394 underneath),
ieee1394 emits a hotplug event which should cause raw1394 be loaded
automatically.  raw1394's insertion should cause udev to create the
/dev/raw1394 file, and at least that latter part apparently works for
you.

It is policy in Ubuntu to grant only the root user access to the
/dev/raw1394 file.  Most other distributions which provide the raw1394
driver grant every user in a "video" group or something like that access
to /dev/raw1394.

This is because of security concerns of the Ubuntu maintainers; see bug
6290.  However, there is light at the end of the tunnel since we are
getting new firewire drivers into shape which will allow distributors to
implement finer grained access policies.  The new drivers don't use a
single device file for all devices but a file for each FireWire node
(e.g. one for the controller, one for a plugged-in camera...).  There
appear to be Jaunty test kernel packages which have the new drivers
enabled in parallel to the old ones for advanced users to try them.  See
also bug 276463 (driver migration) and bug 311804 (libraw1394 migration;
libraw1394 v2 is required to freely switch between old drivers and new
drivers, libraw1394 v2.0.1 enables fine-grained access permission
policy).

So there are problems during FireWire I/O or related to disk I/O.  There
is DMA enabled for the harddisk, right?  (hdparm -i /dev/... lists
available and currently active DMA modes.  It is highly likely that the
kernel did enable DMA properly.)

Do you have a Panasonic or Samsung camcorder?  It could presumably also
happen with other camcorders though; it's just that we only discovered
the nature of the problem and its solution very recently.

Yes, that would be good to have.  Would have to be implemented in Gnome
and/or KDE.  I don't know, maybe there is already integration of this
sort between kernel -- KDE 4-- kdenlive.  (kdenlive is in active
development, while kino is retired to low maintenance mode.)

That's, as mentioned, mostly a Ubuntu-specific problem, to be fixed in
the short term by the user himself and in the long term by switching to
the new drivers with more flexible permissions policy.  Ironically, the
new drivers are sponsored by Red Hat.  Good for all Linux users but
regarding the /dev/raw1394 issue especially good for Ubuntu users.

DV capture does actually work out-of-the-box for quite a lot of people,
besides the missing pop-up dialogue when a camera was plugged in, and
besides Ubuntu's bug 6290.

2009-01-31 Thread Stefan Richter
Are there also no relevant messages left in the system log?
What is the brand and exact model of the FireWire disk?

[Bug 311771] Re: WD My Book doesn't properly unmount on PC shutdown

2009-01-31 Thread Stefan Richter
The Western Digital FireWire disks have some non-standard power savings
features which WD apparently tested only with some Windows PCs without
care for compliance to the SCSI specs or IEEE 1394 specs.

Are there any messages in the system log from when the system tries to
unmount the disk, e.g. SCSI errors?  (I am not a Ubuntu user myself,
hence don't know into which log file you should look.  It is typically
/var/log/messages.)

What happens if you manually unmount the disk after it went into
standby?  Does anything interesting appear in the output of "dmesg"
then?

[Bug 302380] Re: rm: cannot remove `raw1394-': Read-only file system

2009-01-31 Thread Stefan Richter
This seems to be a packaging mistake.
The /dev/raw1394 file should neither be created nor deleted by a package script.
It should be automatically created and deleted by udev whenever the raw1394 
kernel module is loaded and unloaded.

2009-01-31 Thread Stefan Richter
> How do we suggest this to the upstream devs through Launchpad?

Not at all.  You go to the upstream developer contacts.

The OpenCV project has its forum, perhaps there you can find somebody
who would be interested in a port from the libdc1394 v1 API to the v2
API.

If specific advice is needed in such an API port, the libdc1394-devel
mailinglist will be a perfect place to ask.

[Bug 283612] Re: ohci1394 driver loop at boot time (Iso Xmit # Context died)

2009-01-31 Thread Stefan Richter
The problem is that the ohci1394 driver gets only garbage when it
performs MMIO accesses.  The core kernel is unable to set up the memory-
mapped IO correctly, I suppose due to an issue with the BIOS.

Neither "pci=noacpi" nor suppressing to leave some of the applicable drivers 
off (by blacklisting them) is a good permanent solution.  What you could try:
  - Look for a BIOS update.
  - Try the newest kernel that you can get your hand on.  Is it possible to 
install Jaunty test kernel packages on Intrepid?
  - Report the problem together with data about your kernel and your mainboard 
to linux-a...@vger.kernel.org.

Is this problem perhaps limited to certain FireWire controllers?
You can check with "lspci" for the controller type.

Could be flaky hardware or an issue between driver and firmware.  Try
unloading the 1394 drivers, then "modprobe ieee1394 disable_irm=1 &&
modprobe ohci1394".

These errors can be temporary (then they are harmless) or terminal
(which would be bad).  In your case its just temporary, otherwise the
sbp2 driver would never be attached to the device.

Like everybody else who reported here at this bug, you should try the
new alternative firewire drivers as mentioned in comment 21.

These new drivers are meant to replace the classic ones eventually, when
the new drivers became feature-complete and fully stable.  (firewire-
core replaces ieee1394, raw1394, video1394.  firewire-ohci replaces
ohci1394.  firewire-sbp2 replaces sbp2.)  The new drivers are smaller,
more correct, more secure, and better performing than the old ones.

The one CD-RW of mine which behaves like described in this bug when
attached to Texas Instruments controllers (and sometimes also on other
controllers) works perfectly with the new drivers.

As I wrote in comment 21, you get these new drivers if you install a
Jaunty test kernel package; see bug 276463.  But since you already
modified your kernel, you could also configure the new drivers in into
your current kernel.

No, it doesn't.  This particular workaround only influences behaviour of
the SCSI layer which only kicks in after a successful login.

More precisely, it tells the Linux SCSI core how to set the ALLOCATION
LENGTH parameter in the SCSI INQUIRY command.  (See the SPC spec,
section "Commands for all device types", "INQUIRY command", if you are
interested in the details.)  IIRC this was of more importance a few
years ago in earlier revisions of the SCSI core.  Nowadays the SCSI core
sets it to 36 bytes in the first attempt of INQUIRY anyway.  If the 36
byte INQUIRY is successful, the SCSI core will run a retry with a larger
ALLOCATION LENGTH unless the device was blacklisted (because it returns
wrong results with larger lengths or crashes or whatever).

The reference to Windows in sbp2.c's comment basically means that
popular Windows flavors apparently issue only 36 byte INQUIRYs, hence
firmware authors don't easily notice if they made a mistake in their
INQUIRY handler.

So, the SBP2_WORKAROUND_INQUIRY_36 merely influences behaviour _after_
successful login and _after_ successful first INQUIRY SCSI transaction.
Furthermore, an ALLOCATION LENGTH bigger than 36 bytes, if it is
supported by the device, returns information that is mostly
uninteresting for FireWire devices, except for marginally interesting
claims of conformance to SCSI specifications in addition to the
conformance claims made in the first 8 bytes of the INQUIRY response.

> And if this is true, is there a way to turn off the workaround?

So, you don't need to turn the hard-wired workaround off; yet you can do so 
easily:
# echo 0x100 > /sys/module/sbp2/parameters/workarounds

This, like any other echo command into sbp2's workaround parameter file, 
becomes effective at the next time a device is plugged in.
# modinfo sbp2
has a brief overview of available workarounds flags.

Note that usage of the workarounds module parameter is only meant as a
measure of last resort, hence we don't provide actual documentation of
it besides the sbp2.c source.

> Or perhaps modify this module to identify the devices for which the

> really needed?

This is impossible because we don't know which Initio firmwares are
affected and whether they have any identifiers that differ from
unaffected variants.

I don't know yet when I be able to do something about this.

Until then you could try the following if you want:
Install the latest Jaunty kernel package (2.6.28 based).  Boot that kernel.  
Then,
# modprobe -r ohci1394
# modprobe firewire-ohci
# modprobe firewire-sbp2
Then plug in the drive and hopefully enjoy smooth operation.
