in SUPER-speed mode, USB 3.0.
This feature has not been tested yet, due to lack of hardware.
This feature is useful when implementing protocols like UASP,
USB attached SCSI which promises higher USB mass storage throughput.
This patch also implements support for hardware processing of endpoints
for increased performance. The switching to hardware processing
of an endpoint is done via a callback to the USB controller driver. The
stream feature is implemented like a variant of a hardware USB protocol.
USB controller drivers implementing device mode needs to be updated to
implement the new "xfer_stall" USB controller method and remove the
"xfer" argument from the "set_stall" method.
The API's toward existing USB drivers are preserved. To setup a USB transfer
in stream mode, set the "stream_id" field of the USB config structure to
the desired value.
The maximum number of BULK streams is currently hardcoded and limited to 8
via a define in usb_freebsd.h.
All USB drivers should be re-compiled after this change.
LibUSB will be updated next week to support streams mode. A new IOCTL to
setup BULK streams as already been implemented. The ugen device nodes
currently only supports stream ID zero.
The FreeBSD version has been bumped.
MFC after: 2 weeks
- Move tunable defines into usb_core.h and dependancy towards usb_defs.h
- Leave hardcoded defines in "usb_defs.h".
- Allow overriding all tunable defines.
- Add more customisable typedefs.
- Correct maximum device number.
