Ieee1394

[Samuel Maftoul <maftoul@esrf.fr>]

Hello everyone,
        Still me with my ieee1394 problems :)

Workaround: My goal is to make ieee1394 HardDisk  work in a production 
environment:
	User come on a machine, plug his disk, store his (experience 
	results) datas on it, unplugs it and go away with it in his home
	institute where he processes his datas.


Tests:
Boot with no devices plugged, no modules related to ieee1394 loaded
-load module ieee1394
-load module ohci1394
	gives a kernel warning: Get PHY Reg Timeout
keventd is up and running

plug of the HD gives in syslog kern.debug:
------------------------------------------------------

unplug gives in kern.debug:

------------------------------------------------------

load module of sbp2, syslog says: 
------------------------------------------------------
ieee1394: sbp2: Driver forced to serialize I/O (serialize_io = 1)
scsi2 : IEEE-1394 SBP-2 protocol driver
------------------------------------------------------
unplug of HD
replug of the HD
Gives quite the same message as above on plug and unplug


Reboot of the machine with the disk plugged in.
(Maybe reboot isn't needed)  
Modules are loaded manually. 

load of modules ieee1394, ohci1394
module ieee1394 doesn't give any message.
module ohci1394 gives a lot of message (in kern.debug), discuss with the
HD plugged in, gives info about it (30GB ..), loads the sbp2 module.
Here is what i have in kern.warn
------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------

Now plug 1 more disk on the 1 of the 2 left plug on the ieee1394 pci card: 
------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------

Now plug the last remainning slot:

------------------------------------------------------

Now lets go for the unplug of the last plugged HD:
Nov 28 08:35:14 test17-248 kernel: ieee1394: sbp2: Node 1:1023: Max speed [S400] - Max payload [0x09/2048]

Now lets unplegged the next one:
Nov 28 08:36:01 test17-248 kernel: ieee1394: ConfigROM quadlet transaction error for node 1:1023
Nov 28 08:36:03 test17-248 kernel: ieee1394: sbp2: Node 0:1023: Max speed [S400] - Max payload [0x09/2048]

The unplug of the only working disk gives no message in kern.warn
The replug gives:
Nov 28 08:52:05 test17-248 kernel: ohci1394_0: SelfID received outside of bus reset sequence
Nov 28 08:52:10 test17-248 kernel: ieee1394: sbp2: Node 0:1023: Max speed [S400] - Max payload [0x09/2048]

Comments:
It seems that the hotplug is working only if the device is plugged before
the boot of the machine or loading the modules (just tested, don't need
to boot the machine with the devies plugged, just need to have plugged
the device before loading ohci1394 module).
This is not really hotplug, right ? Is this normal ?
The is really annoying because if I automatically load the module at boot
time, we need to have a device plugged on every machines what is really
not handy.
The other issue is that the only first device plugged is working.
This isn't really a problem because I need just 1 disk to be plugged but
is this normal (I think so)?
