2.6.28-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de> Commit 64c634ef83991b390ec0503e61f16efb0ba3c60b upstream. Camcorders have a tendency to fail read requests to their config ROM and write request to their FCP command register with ack_busy_X. This has become a problem with newer kernels and especially Panasonic camcorders, causing AV/C in dvgrab and kino to fail. Dvgrab for example frequently logs "send oops"; kino reports loss of AV/C control. I suspect that lower CPU scheduling latencies in newer kernels made this issue more prominent now. According to https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=114103&aid=2492640&group_id=14103 this can be fixed by configuring the FireWire controller for more hardware retries for request transmission; these retries are evidently more successful than libavc1394's own retry loop (typically 3 tries on top of hardware retries). Presumably the same issue has been reported at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449252 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=477279 .
