FROMGIT: usb:gadget:uvc Do not use worker thread to pump isoc usb req…
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
…uests

When we use an async work queue to perform the function of pumping
usb requests to the usb controller, it is possible that amongst other
factors, thread scheduling affects at what cadence we're able to pump
requests. This could mean isoc usb requests miss their uframes - resulting
in video stream flickers on the host device.

To avoid this, we make the async_wq thread only produce isoc usb_requests
with uvc buffers encoded into them. The process of queueing to the
endpoint is done by the uvc_video_complete() handler. In case no
usb_requests are ready with encoded information, we just queue a zero
length request to the endpoint from the complete handler.

For bulk endpoints the async_wq thread still queues usb requests to the
endpoint.
