From: Jonathan Bell <jonathan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Users have reported log spam created by "Event Ring Full" xHC event
TRBs. These are caused by interrupt latency in conjunction with a very
busy set of devices on the bus. The errors are benign, but throughput
will suffer as the xHC will pause processing of transfers until the
Event Ring is drained by the kernel.
Commit dc0ffbea5729 ("usb: host: xhci: update event ring dequeue pointer
on purpose") mitigated the issue by advancing the Event Ring Dequeue
Pointer already after half a segment has been processed. Nevertheless,
providing a larger Event Ring would be useful to cope with load peaks.
Expand the number of event TRB slots available by increasing the number
of Event Ring segments in the ERST.
Controllers have a hardware-defined limit as to the number of ERST
entries they can process, but with up to 32k it can be excessively high
(sec 5.3.4). So cap the actual number at 2 (configurable through the
ERST_MAX_SEGS macro), which seems like a reasonable quantity. It is
supported by any xHC because the limit in the HCSPARAMS2 register is
defined as a power of 2. Renesas uPD720201 and VIA VL805 controllers
do not support more than 2 ERST entries.
An alternative to increasing the number of Event Ring segments would be
an increase of the segment size. But that requires allocating multiple
contiguous pages, which may be impossible if memory is fragmented.

Change v1 -> v2:
Only use up to 2 Event Ring segments by default (instead of 8).
