Hi all, about three weeks ago, Linux kernel 3.10 has been released with the following changes to the IEEE 1394 subsystem: firewire-net: - added support for IPv6-over-1394 compliant with RFC 3146 (final implementation by YOSHIFUJI Hideaki, initial work and further verifications by Stephan Gatzka) - release isochronous reception DMA context at ifdown - fix small memory leak at shutdown firewire-ohci: - fix the longstanding failure to receive video on VIA VT6306 with gstreamer, MythTV, and maybe dv4l (debugged and fixed by Andy Leiserson) - fix a startup issue with Agere/LSI FW643-e2 (debugged and fixed by Peter Hurley) - fix controller removal when controller is in suspended state - improved error logging The VT 6306 and FW643-e2 fixes should apparently also be backported into 3.x-longterm kernel series. This hasn't happened yet partially due to a current shortage of spare time on my part, partially because I prefer to give these changes some more time of exposure in the current stable 3.10.x and main 3.11 series. -- Stefan Richter -=====-===-= -=== =-=-- http://arcgraph.de/sr/ |
