Commit Message

Immediate data transfers (IDT) allow the HCD to copy small chunks of
data (up to 8bits) directly into its output transfer TRBs. This avoids
the somewhat expensive DMA mappings that are performed by default on
most URBs submissions.

In the case an URB was suitable for IDT. The data is directly copied
into the "Data Buffer Pointer" region of the TRB and the IDT flag is
set. Instead of triggering memory accesses the HC will use the data
directly.

An additional URB flag was created to mark whenever the URB doesn't need
any DMA mapping. Ideally it would have been nice to use a private flag
as this is specific to XHCI. Yet it's not possible as the URB private
area is allocated only after the DMA mapping is done.

Isochronous transfers are not implemented so far as it's hard to find a
device that will send such small packets.

This was tested using USB/serial adapter and by controlling the leds on
an XBOX controller. There where no disruptions on the rest of USB
devices attached on the system.

do you really need the flag? Why don't you do this unconditionally as
long as urb->transfer_length is <= 8?

I don't understand the check for endpoint type. IDT is, actually,
already used for control endpoints because setup packets are composed of
8 bytes. You're also showing that this works for INT and BULK types. It
would be a surprise if it doesn't work for ISOC.

> +	    maxp >= TRB_IDT_MAX_SIZE && len <= TRB_IDT_MAX_SIZE)

why the maxp check? What if I'm an interrupt endpoint with maxp of 2?
Is there really a limitation that you couldn't use IDT for those?

> +		urb->transfer_flags |= URB_NO_DMA_MAP;

do we really need this? I wonder if returning zero here would be enough,
then you could:

...map_urb_for_dma(...)
{
	ret = 0;

	if (urb->transfer_length > 8)
        	ret = usb_hcd_map_urb_for_dma(hcd, urb, flags);

	return ret;
}

...unmap_urb_for_dma(...)
{
	if urb->transfer_length > 8)
        	usb_hcd_unmap_urb_for_dma(hcd, urb);
}

...xhci_queue_bulk_tx(...)
{
	[...]

	if (urb->transfer_length <= 8) {
		memcpy(&addr, urb->transfer_buffer, 8)l
		field |= TRB_IDT;
        }

	[...]
}

Obviously, noted.

There is a set of limitations, see my comments below.

Isoc should work, but I've been unable to find a device with such small
transfer size. As the standard says if IDT is set only a Transfer/Isoc TRB is
allowed per TD (see Table 6-22 on the spec). So I guess it makes it unlikely
for an Isoc transfer to match the constraints. That said I'll have a more in
depth look at it.

Same table in specs. As I state in the patch's comment above, IDT with
wMaxPacketSize < 8 it's not supported.

I agree that with Isoc included we could lose the flag and implement it as you
state below. Only length and ep's wMaxPacketSize should be checked.
