29 July 2005, Cambridge, MA:

This afternoon Alan Stern submitted a patch to remove the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK
flag from the Linux kernel.  Mr. Stern explained, "This flag is a relic
from an earlier, less-well-designed system.  For over a year it hasn't
been used for anything other than printing warning messages."

An anonymous spokesman for the Linux kernel development community
commented, "This is exactly the sort of thing we see happening all the
time.  As the kernel evolves, support for old techniques and old code can
be jettisoned and replaced by newer, better approaches.  Proprietary
operating systems do not have the freedom or flexibility to change so
quickly."

Mr. Stern, a staff member at Harvard University's Rowland Institute who
works on Linux only as a hobby, noted that the patch (labelled as548) did
not update two files, keyspan.c and option.c, in the USB drivers' "serial"
subdirectory.  "Those files need more extensive changes," he remarked.
"They examine the status field of several URBs at times when they're not
supposed to.  That will need to be fixed before the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag
is removed."

Greg Kroah-Hartman, the kernel maintainer responsible for overseeing all
of Linux's USB drivers, did not respond to our inquiries or return our
calls.  His only comment was "Applied, thanks."

With the double buffering, we no longer need contiguous memory for the
PCM buffer, so we can use vmalloc() instead of the preallocation
functions, and increase the maximum size to 256 KB.

We always had to use double buffering when capturing, and when playback
data for one URB crosses a buffer boundary.  The latter would make hwptr
updates less precise because the double-buffered data is read from the
buffer much earlier than the other data is read by the host controller.

Double-buffering all data allows to update hwptr immediately after the
data was copied to the USB buffer(s), which has the additional benefit
of avoiding the latency imposed by the host controller's delay of up to
one frame when interrupting.

When preparing capture URBs, we don't need to stop when we cross a
period boundary because we now never handle more than one millisecond of
data per URB anyway.

When handling captured data, use an extra flag to call
snd_pcm_period_elapsed() no more than once.  This allows us to move the
period boundary checking code before the copying of the data which
avoids a second locking of the substream's lock.

The EHCI driver doesn't interrupt more than once per millisecond, and
organizes all iso transfers with frame-sized ITDs, so we can (try to)
be more efficient by aligning all URBs on frame boundaries.

When determining how many packets are needed for one period, we cannot
assume that all packets have their maximum size -- we always use the
nominal sample rate when sending data, and could use an even lower rate
when the endpoint uses frequency feedback.

USB generic driver
When capturing audio data, we do not know beforehand how many samples
the device sends per frame, so we have to use URBs that are as short as
possible to make sure that we can handle period boundaries without any
additional latencies.

Furthermore, the total count of URBs submitted doesn't matter when
capturing, so we can just use the maximum number.

`gcc -W' likes to complain if the static keyword is not at the beginning of
the declaration.  This patch fixes all remaining occurrences of "inline
static" up with "static inline" in the entire kernel tree (140 occurrences in
47 files).

While making this change I came across a few lines with trailing whitespace
that I also fixed up, I have also added or removed a blank line or two here
and there, but there are no functional changes in the patch.

Without this patch, some usb kobjects, which are parents to the usx2y's
kobjects can be freed before the usx2y's.  This led to an oops in
get_kobj_path_length() and a dead keyboard, when the usx2y's kobjects
were freed.  The patch ensures the correct sequence.  Tested ok on
kernel 2.6.12-rc2.

When a USB packet boundary falls exactly on a buffer boundary, hwptr
remains at the end of the buffer which causes an overflow in the next
iteration and triggers double buffering although the next packet would
actually be contiguous.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
