There are situations when nodes vanish from the bus and come back
quickly thereafter:
- When certain bus-powered hubs are plugged in,
- when certain devices are plugged into 6-port hubs,
- when certain disk enclosures are switched from self-power to bus
power or vice versa and break the daisy chain during the transition,
- when the user plugs a cable out and quickly plugs it back in, e.g.
to reorder a daisy chain (works on Mac OS X if done quickly enough),
- when certain hubs temporarily malfunction during high bus traffic.
Until now, firewire-core reported affected nodes as lost to the
highlevel drivers (firewire-sbp2 and userspace drivers). We now delay
the destruction of device representations until after at least two
seconds after the last bus reset. If a "new" device is detected in this
period whose bus information block and root directory header match that
of a device which is pending for deletion, we resurrect that device and
send update calls to highlevel drivers.
