This seems like the sort of feature somebody might reasonably want to use -- if they know exactly what they're doing. > NOTE: for two streams with max_pkt_size=3072 (worst case) both time > allocation would be 60us+60us=120us which is 96% periodic bandwidth > leaving 4% for bulk and control. I think this should work too. At 480 Mb/s, each microframe holds 7500 bytes (less if you count bit-stuffing). 4% of that is 300 bytes, which is not enough for a 512-byte bulk packet. I think you'd run into trouble trying to do any serious bulk transfers on such a tight schedule. > Signed-off-by: Kirill Smelkov <kirr@xxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > --- > drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.c | 16 ++++++++++++++++ > drivers/usb/host/ehci-sched.c | 17 +++++++---------- > 2 files changed, 23 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.c b/drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.c > index c606b02..1d36e72 100644 > --- a/drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.c > +++ b/drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.c > @@ -112,6 +112,14 @@ static unsigned int hird; > module_param(hird, int, S_IRUGO); > MODULE_PARM_DESC(hird, "host initiated resume duration, +1 for each 75us\n"); > > +/* > + * max periodic time per microframe > + * (be careful, USB 2.0 requires it to be 100us = 80% of 125us) > + */ > +static unsigned int uframe_periodic_max = 100; > +module_param(uframe_periodic_max, uint, S_IRUGO); > +MODULE_PARM_DESC(uframe_periodic_max, "maximum allowed periodic part of a microframe, us"); > + This probably should be a sysfs attribute rather than a module parameter, so that it can be applied to individual buses separately. > #define INTR_MASK (STS_IAA | STS_FATAL | STS_PCD | STS_ERR | STS_INT) > > /*-------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ > @@ -571,6 +579,14 @@ static int ehci_init(struct usb_hcd *hcd) > hcc_params = ehci_readl(ehci, &ehci->caps->hcc_params); > > /* > + * tell user, if using non-standard (80% == 100 usec/uframe) bandwidth > + */ > + if (uframe_periodic_max != 100) > + ehci_info(ehci, "using non-standard max periodic bandwith " > + "(%u%% == %u usec/uframe)", > + 100*uframe_periodic_max/125, uframe_periodic_max); > + > + /* Check for invalid values.
