USB: EHCI: fix performance regression
This patch (as1099) fixes a performance regression in ehci-hcd. The
fundamental problem is that queue headers get removed from the
schedule too quickly, since the code checks for a counter advancing
rather than making an actual time-based check. The latency involved
in removing the queue header and then relinking it can severely
degrade certain kinds of workloads.
The patch replaces a simple counter with a timestamp derived from the
controller's uframe value. In addition, the delay for unlinking an
idle queue header is increased from 5 ms to 10 ms; since some
controllers (nVidia) have a latency of up to 1 ms for unlinking, this
reduces the relative impact from 20% to 10%.
Finally, a logical error left over from the IAA watchdog-timer
conversion is corrected. Now the driver will always either unlink an
idle queue header or set up a timer to unlink it later. The old code
would sometimes fail to do either.
