[GIT PULL] firewire updates for 7.0-rc1

[GIT PULL] firewire updates for 7.0-rc1

[Takashi Sakamoto]

Hi Linus,
(C.C.ed to linux-sound, Jens Wiklander, and Jason Gunthorpe)

Please pull firewire changes for 7.0. It includes the following changes:

 - Refactor page allocation dedicated to 1394 OHCI IR/IT/AR DMA contexts
 - Allocate variable-sized buffer for isochronous context header
   - Including a small change in sound subsystem

This subsystem has been a long-standing, single user of dma_alloc_pages().
Recently, TEE subsystem added usage in a commit
ab09dd6d9201 ("tee: add tee_shm_alloc_dma_mem()"), and it still remains.
I think the kernel API can be avoided in direct calls and encapsulated for
the convenience of DMA mapping layer developers.


Thanks

  ALSA: firewire: remove PCM buffer size constraint from isoc context header (2026-01-18 17:18:48 +0900)

----------------------------------------------------------------
firewire updates for v7.0

This update includes the following changes.

 - Refactor page allocation dedicated to 1394 OHCI IR/IT/AR DMA contexts

   Although 1394 OHCI specification does not impose any restriction on
   the memory size dedicated to these DMA contexts, 1394 OHCI PCI driver
   allocates pages for convenience when mapping them into either kernel
   space or userspace VMA. The driver previously used dma_alloc_pages()
   for both page allocation and mapping creation, even though this kernel
   API is rarely used. Following discussions questioning the page-oriented
   kernel API in the DMA layer, the driver has been refactored to avoid
   using this API. In addition, the use of private members in the
   allocated pages has been removed following long-standing concern.

 - Allocate variable-sized buffer for isochronous context header

   1394 OHCI PCI driver previously allocated a single page for isochronous
   context header. As a result, the buffer size for the header was fixed
   to PAGE_SIZE, which imposed a limitation on IEC 61883-1/6 packet
   streaming engine. Consequently, the ALSA PCM devices provided by
   drivers for audio and music units in IEEE 1394 bus were constrained in
   the maximum size of buffer period (64 ms in most cases). This limitation
   is resolved by dynamically allocating the header buffer with an
   arbitrary size.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Takashi Sakamoto (18):
      firewire: core: move private function declaration from public header to internal header
      firewire: core: use mutex instead of spinlock for client isochronous context
