[PATCH] USB: ehci-hcd updates
This should apply to 2.5.59 too. It seems to get rid of some pesky hangs, on at least some hardware, but I won't have time to test it on either VIA version ... maybe someone else will make the time? :) New QH state prevents a re-activation race - nobody can un-halt a qh before its cleanup is done - resubmit-from-completion had this race (some usbtest cases) as could some normal submit paths on busy endpoints (storage) - faster controllers would trip on this more consistently Queues of qtds - work harder to avoid ever modifing any qh in software - short reads block queue advance much less often - be more cautious with large (>~19KB) unaligned buffers Unlinking urbs - if qtd unlinked is at queue head, use its latest status (main effect is reporting bytes from partial transfers) - another new qh state: defer qh unlink if IAA is busy (eliminates a busy-wait loop in a rare scenario) Enable features to improve bus utilization - PCI MWI ... can produce better write throughput; and by using right cacheline size, sometimes read throughput too - USB NAK throttle ... sometimes reduces PCI access rates Other - async dump shows more funky qh+qtd states, and NAK count - cope with with some of the sprintf wierdness - periodic dump is usually smaller (so is that schedule) - minor cleanups
