Alan Stern 569b394f53 USB: EHCI: always scan each interrupt QH
This patch (as1585) fixes a bug in ehci-hcd's scheme for scanning
interrupt QHs.

Currently a single routine takes care of scanning everything on the
periodic schedule.  Whenever an interrupt occurs, it scans all
isochronous and interrupt URBs scheduled for frames that have elapsed
since the last scan.

This has two disadvantages.  The first is relatively minor: An
interrupt QH is likely to end up getting scanned multiple times,
particularly if the last scan was not fairly recent.  (The current
code avoids this by maintaining a periodic_stamp in each interrupt
QH.)

The second is more serious.  The periodic schedule wraps around.  If
the last scan occurred during frame N, and the next scan occurs when
the schedule has gone through an entire cycle and is back at frame N,
the scanning code won't look at any frames other than N.  Consequently
it won't see any QHs that completed during frame N-1 or earlier.

The patch replaces the entire frame-based approach for scanning
interrupt QHs with a new routine using a list-based approach, the same
as for async QHs.  This has a slight disadvantage, because it means
that all interrupt QHs have to be scanned every time.  But it is more
robust than the current approach.

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:

    * This source code.  This is necessarily an evolving work, and
      includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
      ("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
      "gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.)  Also, Documentation/usb has
      more information.

    * The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
      such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
      The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
      peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".

    * Chip specifications for USB controllers.  Examples include
      host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
      controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
      cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.

    * Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
      functions.  Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
      but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.

Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.

core/		- This is for the core USB host code, including the
		  usbfs files and the hub class driver ("khubd").

host/		- This is for USB host controller drivers.  This
		  includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
		  be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.

gadget/		- This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
		  the various gadget drivers which talk to them.


Individual USB driver directories.  A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.

image/		- This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
		  digital cameras.
../input/	- This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
		  like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/	- This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
		  radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
		  subsystem.
../net/		- This is for network drivers.
serial/		- This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/	- This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories, and work for a range
		  of USB Class specified devices. 
misc/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories.
