got it

d'oh! That's true

not entirely true for bulk. We never set LST bit; we will never complete
a transfer, we continually add more TRBs. The reason for this is to
amortize the cost of adding new transfers to the controller cache before
it runs out of TRBs without HWO.

How about we change the test to say "if I have non-started TRBs and I'm
bulk (non-stream) or interrupt endpoint, kick more transfers"?

We may already have more TRBs in the pending list which may not have
been started before we didn't have free TRBs to use. We just completed a
TRB, might as well try to use it for more requests.

this part is clear now and you're correct. Thanks

Right but we can run out of TRBs even in non-chained case. I remember
testing this years ago by giving g_mass_storage a list of 300
requests. The reason for kicking the transfer is different, but it's
beneficial anyhow.
