Re: [GIT PULL] firewire updates for 6.5-rc1

[Takashi Sakamoto]

Hi,

Thanks for your report, and I apologize to trouble you and your
reporter.

In my opinion, the series of patches to optimize 1394 OHCI driver to
devicves managed resources would bring the issue in the environmennt,
therefore:

Although, usage of device managed resource is itself preferable, thus I
would like you to help me to fix the issue. I test these patches in v6.2
kernel by module backporting and I have no issue in my environment. For
example, with 'acpi=noirq':

```
kernel: firewire_ohci 0000:0b:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
kernel: firewire_ohci 0000:0b:00.0: using bridge 0000:03:00.2 INT D to get INT A
kernel: firewire_ohci 0000:0b:00.0: added OHCI v1.10 device as card 0, 8 IR + 8 IT contexts, quirks 0x2
kernel: firewire_core 0000:0b:00.0: created device fw0: GUID 080028510100014a, S800
```

But in the reporter's environment:

```
kernel: firewire_ohci 0000:22:00.0: enabling device (0080 -> 0083)
kernel: firewire_ohci 0000:22:00.0: can't find IRQ for PCI INT A; please try using pci=biosirq
kernel: genirq: Flags mismatch irq 0. 00000080 (firewire_ohci) vs. 00015a00 (timer)
kernel: firewire_ohci 0000:22:00.0: failed to allocate interrupt 0
kernel: firewire_ohci: probe of 0000:22:00.0 failed with error -16
kernel: firewire_ohci 0000:22:00.0: removed fw-ohci device
```

For my information, would you please ask your reporter to tell what kind
of 1394 OHCI hardware to use? Once the Linux system booted, you can
retrieve information about it by lspci(8). My hardware includes
PCIe-to-PCI bridge as well as PCI-to-1394-bus bridge (1394 OHCI) and I
would like to check the reporter uses the similar hardware or not.

For example, in the market, we have direct PCIe-to-1394-bus bridge. It
appears that the reporter would uses the kind of hardware. If so, I
install the similar hardware in my system and check the patchset. Else,
I'll investigate the other causes; e.g. installing openSUSE Tumbleweed
to regenerate the issue.


Thanks
