[PATCH] USB: EHCI and full-speed ISO-OUT
This is a minor update to the patch I sent out about a week ago. The key change is to use the I/O watchdog while doing ISO streaming. Bernd Porr reports that a VT8235 system needs that; it seems like IDE activity can interfere with the delivery of USB IRQs. EHCI periodic scheduling updates. - Initial version of full speed ISO transaction support. This should handle OUT transactions, such as those for usb speakers. For now, it's controlled using an EXPERIMENTAL config option: * I've run into interesting differences in how different USB 2.0 hub silicon (the transaction translators) handle some older audio devices. Needs more investigation. * Interrupt transfer scheduling doesn't yet cope well with schedules where every slot already has activity. For now, don't plug in devices like hubs, mice, or keyboards while EHCI is streaming. - Protect freelist for highspeed ITDs, using spinlock. Could be an issue for some drivers. - Kick in the I/O watchdog timer (5 msec) for periodic transfers. In this case, IDE activity on a VT8235 lost the IRQs which should have kept the ISO stream active. Queues shorter than 5 msec are not going to work on all USB hosts. - Simplified the ISO scheduler: doesn't attempt to re-schedule after lossage, or to short-circuit scanning. (Rescheduling will probably come back later ... for now, the "hard" error here is highlighting problems that need attention.)
