Now I found out what is going on here:
In itd_urb_transaction() we allocate 9 iTDs for each URB with
number_of_packets == 64 in my case. The iTDs are added to
sched->td_list. For a frame-aligned scheduling we need 8 iTDs, the 9th
one is released back to the front of the streams free_list in
iso_sched_free(). This iTD was cleared after allocation and has a frame
number of 0 now. So for each allocation when now_frame == 0 we allocate
from the dma_pool, not from the free_list.
Okay, that is a problem. But it shouldn't be such a big problem,
because now_frame should not be equal to 0 very often.
Oh, wait, now I get it. We never reach a steady state, because the
free list never shrinks, but occasionally it does increase when
now_frame is equal to 0. Even though that doesn't happen very often,
the effects add up.
Very good; tomorrow I will send your patch in.
Hi Alan, Soeren
Could you word the description a bit better. If Alan did not get it
without a bit of thought, few others are going to understand it
without a better explanation.
Thanks
Andrew
Alan,
can you come up with a better explanation, please? I think your
description how it is supposed to work from here
http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=136345559432055&w=2
is required to understand the problem and the fix.
Thanks,
Soeren
