Pull firewire updates from Takashi Sakamoto:
- 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.
