I believe BH workqueue is not necessarily required for the purpose:

[RFT][PATCH 0/5] firewire: use sleepable workqueue to handle 1394 OHCI IT/IR context events

Unexpectedly, I can easily replace tasklet with workqueue for 1394 OHCI IR/IT contexts in v6.11 kernel, at least for userspace application. Hm.

[PATCH] firewire: core: update fw_device outside of device_find_child()

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240820132132.28839-1-o-takashi@sakamocchi.jp/

I believe it reasonable to separate updating from finding here.

I'm working to replace usage of IDR with XArray. I was a bit puzzled that DEFINE_XARRAY_ALLOC() and xa_init() are not equivalent. In my opinion, the naming scheme of XArray functions should be reconsidered. It easily confuse me.

Oh, the usage of IDR should be replaced with XArray... Since when?

I'm surprised to see my protocol analyzer operational again.

Need some KUnit tests to check serializer/deserializer of data in payload of isochronous packet for various CIP format. However, the current implementation is tight-coupled to low-level hardware operations and procedures for complicated device-dependent protocols. Mmm.

Posted: [GIT PULL] firewire updates for v6.11
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel/20240720084730.GA59546@workstation.local/T/#u

There are many line changes for FireWire subsystem, while there is no
functional change for practical use. The most of changes are for code
refactoring, some KUnit tests to added helper functions, and new
tracepoints events for both the core functions and 1394 OHCI driver.

The tracepoints events now cover the verbose logging enabled by debug
parameter of firewire-ohci kernel module. The parameter would be removed
in any future timing, thus it is now deprecated.

Hm. I'm investigating to replace the local implementation to maintain blocks in the allocated memory region mapped for DMA purpose with common dma_pool. However, it does not allows to pick up an arbitrary count of blocks at once for continuous memory region. It just connect returned block to the tail of local list, and has no mechanism to keep maintained blocks as continuous.
Typically, this kind of framework requires mechanism to suppress fragmentation, but it has nothing. I prefer its simplicity, but a bit inconvenient for my purpose...

Being straightforward is not necessarily more adequate than being simple.

Figuring out how to represent this device's mixer controls in ALSA is pain peko...
