From 446216bd8e5d4a3ffc9738f6adffc98fbfdcc582 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Takashi Sakamoto Date: Sun, 8 Sep 2024 13:05:48 +0900 Subject: firewire: core: expose kernel API to schedule work item to process isochronous context In packet-per-buffer mode for isochronous context of 1394 OHCI, software can schedule hardIRQ to the buffer in which the content of isochronous packet is processed. The actual behaviour is different between isochronous receive (IR) and transmit (IT) contexts in respect to isochronous cycle in which the hardIRQ occurs. In IR context, the hardIRQ occurs when the buffer is filled actually by the content of received packet. If there are any isochronous cycles in which the packet transmission is skipped, it is postponed to generate the hardIRQ in respect to the isochronous cycle. In IT context, software can schedule the content of packet every isochronous cycle including skipping, therefore the hardIRQ occurs in the isochronous cycle to which the software scheduled. ALSA firewire stack uses the packet-per-buffer mode for both IR/IT contexts. To process time stamp per packet (or per sample in some cases) steadily for media clock recovery against unexpected transmission skips, it uses an IT context to operate all of isochronous contexts by calls of fw_iso_context_flush_completions() in the bottom-half of hardIRQ for the IT context. Although it looks well to handle all of isochronous contexts in a single bottom-half context, it relatively takes longer time. In the future code integration (not yet), it is possible to apply parallelism method to process these context. In the case, it is useful to allow unit drivers to schedule work items to process these isochronous contexts. As a preparation, this commit exposes fw_iso_context_schedule_flush_completions() as a kernel API available by unit drivers. It is renamed from fw_iso_context_queue_work() since it is a counter part of fw_iso_context_flush_completions().
