Currently we spin + until the command completes which is bad. + + Implementation idea: + - dwc core implements a demultiplexing irq chip for interrupts per + endpoint. The interrupt numbers are allocated during probe and belong + to the device. If MSI provides per-endpoint interrupt this dummy + interrupt chip can be replaced with "real" interrupts. + - interrupts are requested / allocated on usb_ep_enable() and removed on + usb_ep_disable(). Worst case are 32 interrupts, the lower limit is two + for ep0/1. + - dwc3_send_gadget_ep_cmd() will sleep in wait_for_completion_timeout() + until the command completes. + - the interrupt handler is split into the following pieces: + - primary handler of the device + goes through every event and calls generic_handle_irq() for event + it. On return from generic_handle_irq() in acknowledges the event + counter so interrupt goes away (eventually). + + - threaded handler of the device + none + + - primary handler of the EP-interrupt + reads the event and tries to process it. Everything that requries + sleeping is handed over to the Thread. The event is saved in an + per-endpoint data-structure. + We probably have to pay attention not to process events once we + handed something to thread so we don't process event X prio Y + where X > Y. + + - threaded handler of the EP-interrupt + handles the remaining EP work which might sleep such as waiting + for command completion. + + Latency: + There should be no increase in latency since the interrupt-thread has a + high priority and will be run before an average task in user land + (except the user changed priorities). |
