[PATCH 1/5] firewire: core: allocate workqueue to handle isochronous contexts in card

From: Takashi Sakamoto
Date: Wed Sep 04 2024 - 08:53:16 EST


This commit adds a workqueue dedicated for isochronous context processing.

The workqueue is allocated per instance of fw_card structure to satisfy the
following characteristics descending from 1394 OHCI specification:

In 1394 OHCI specification, memory pages are reserved to each isochronous
context dedicated to DMA transmission. It allows to operate these
per-context pages concurrently. Software can schedule hardware interrupt
for several isochronous context to the same cycle, thus WQ_UNBOUND is
specified. Additionally, it is sleepable to operate the content of pages,
thus WQ_BH is not used.

The isochronous context delivers the packets with time stamp, thus
WQ_HIGHPRI is specified for semi real-time data such as IEC 61883-1/6
protocol implemented by ALSA firewire stack. The isochronous context is not
used by the implementation of SCSI over IEEE1394 protocol (sbp2), thus
WQ_MEM_RECLAIM is not specified.

It is useful for users to adjust cpu affinity of the workqueue depending
on their work loads, thus WQ_SYS is specified to expose the attributes to
user space.
