The drivers
- ohci1394 (controller driver)
- ieee1394 (core)
- dv1394, raw1394, video1394 (userspace ABI)
- eth1394, sbp2 (protocol drivers)
are replaced by
- firewire-ohci (controller driver)
- firewire-core (core and userspace ABI)
- firewire-net, firewire-sbp2 (protocol drivers)
which are more featureful, better performing, and more secure than the older
drivers; all with a smaller and more modern code base.
The driver firedtv in drivers/media/dvb/firewire/ contains backends to both
ieee1394 and firewire-core. Its ieee1394 backend code can be removed in an
independent commit; firedtv as-is builds and works fine without ieee1394.
The driver pcilynx (an incomplete controller driver) is deleted without
replacement since PCILynx cards are extremely rare. Owners of these cards
use them with the stand-alone bus sniffer driver nosy instead.
The drivers nosy and init_ohci1394_dma which do not interact with either of
the two IEEE 1394 stacks are not affected by the ieee1394 subsystem removal.
There are still some issues with the newer firewire subsystem compared to
the older one:
- The rare and quirky controllers ALi M52xx, Apple UniNorth v1, NVIDIA
NForce2 are even less well supported by firewire-ohci than by ohci1394.
I am looking into the M52xx issue.
- The experimental firewire-net is reportedly less stable than its
experimental cousin eth1394.
- Audio playback of a certain group of audio devices (ones based on DICE
chipset with EAP; supported by prerelease FFADO code) does not work yet.
This issue is still under investigation.
- There were some ieee1394 based out-of-the-mainline drivers. Of them,
only lisight, an audio driver for iSight webcams, seems still useful.
Work is underway to reimplement it on top of firewire-core.
All these remainig issues are minor; they should not stand in the way of
overall better user experience of IEEE 1394 on Linux, together with a
reduction in support efforts and maintenance burden. The coexistence of two
IEEE 1394 kernel driver stacks in the mainline since 2.6.22 shall end now,
as announced earlier this year.

which caused gcc 4.6 to warn about
variable 'XYZ' set but not used.
sbp2.c, unit_characteristics:
The underlying problem which was spotted here --- an incomplete
implementation --- is already 50% fixed in drivers/firewire/sbp2.c which
observes mgt_ORB_timeout but not yet ORB_size.
raw1394.c, length_conflict; dv1394.c, ts_off:
Impossible to tell why these variables are there. We can safely remove
them though because we don't need a compiler warning to realize that we
are dealing with (at least stylistically) flawed code here.
dv1394.c, packet_time:
This was used in debug macro that is only compiled in with
DV1394_DEBUG_LEVEL >= 2 defined at compile-time. Just drop it since
nobody debugs dv1394 anymore. Avoids noise in regular kernel builds.
dv1394.c, ohci; eth1394.c, priv:
These variables clearly can go away. Somebody wanted to use them but
then didn't (or not anymore).
Note, all of this code is considered to be at its end of life and is
thus not really meant to receive janitorial updates anymore. But if we
can easily remove noisy warnings from kernel builds, we should.

In the near future, the driver core is going to not allow direct access
to the driver_data pointer in struct device. Instead, the functions
dev_get_drvdata() and dev_set_drvdata() should be used. These functions
have been around since the beginning, so are backwards compatible with
all older kernel versions.

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.
This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).

After ieee1394 was converted away from class_device like the networking
subsystem was already in 2.6.21, eth1394's device may point to the
fw-host device as its parent again like in 2.6.20.
This affects userspace tools which examine the sysfs representation of
eth1394's device.

This patch fixes a problem that occurs when packets cannot be sent across
the ieee1394 bus and we return NETDEV_TX_BUSY in the net driver "hard start
xmit" routine ether1394_tx. When we return NETDEV_TX_BUSY the stack will
call ether1394_tx again with the same skb. So we need to restore the header
to look like it did before we munged it for xmit over ieee1394.

This adds a real parent device to eth1394's ethX device like in Linux
2.6.20 and older. However, due to unfinished conversion of the ieee1394
away from class_device, we now refer to the FireWire controller's PCI
device as the parent, not to the ieee1394 driver's fw-host device.
Having a real parent device instead of a virtual one allows udev scripts
to distinguish eth1394 interfaces from networking bridges, bondings and
the likes.
Fixes a regression since 2.6.21:

When eth1394 was unable to acquire a transaction label, it just dropped
outgoing packets without attempt to resend them later.
The transmit queue is now halted if no tlabel is available to
->hard_start_xmit(). A workqueue job is then scheduled to catch the
moment when ieee1394 recycled the next lot of tlabels.

Until now, ieee1394 put an IP-over-1394 capability entry into each new
host's config ROM. As soon as the controller was initialized --- i.e.
right after modprobe ohci1394 --- this entry triggered a hotplug event
which typically caused auto-loading of eth1394.
This irritated or annoyed many users and distributors. Of course they
could blacklist eth1394, but then ieee1394 wrongly advertized IP-over-
1394 capability to the FireWire bus.
Therefore
- remove the offending kernel config option
IEEE1394_CONFIG_ROM_IP1394,
- let eth1394 add the ROM entry by itself, i.e. only after eth1394 was
loaded.
This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7793 .
To emulate the behaviour of older kernels, simply add the following to
to /etc/modprobe.conf:
install ohci1394 /sbin/modprobe eth1394; \
/sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ohci1394
Note, autoloading of eth1394 when an _external_ IP-over-1394 capable
device is discovered is _not_ affected by this patch.

The networking subsystem has been converted from class_device to device
but ieee1394 hasn't. This results in a 100% reproducible NULL pointer
dereference if the ohci1394 driver module is unloaded while the eth1394
module is still loaded.
