Newer high definition cameras, and cameras with multiple lenses such as
the range of stereo-vision cameras now available have ever increasing
data rates.
The inclusion of a variable length packet header in URB packets mean
that we must memcpy the frame data out to our destination 'manually'.
This can result in data rates of up to 2 gigabits per second being
processed.
To improve efficiency, and maximise throughput, handle the URB decode
processing through a work queue to move it from interrupt context, and
allow multiple processors to work on URBs in parallel.

v2:
- Lock full critical section of usb_submit_urb()
v3:
- Fix race on submitting uvc_video_decode_data_work() to work queue.
- Rename uvc_decode_op -> uvc_copy_op (Generic to encode/decode)
- Rename decodes -> copy_operations
- Don't queue work if there is no async task
- obtain copy op structure directly in uvc_video_decode_data()
- uvc_video_decode_data_work() -> uvc_video_copy_data_work()
v4:
- Provide for_each_uvc_urb()
- Simplify fix for shutdown race to flush queue before freeing URBs
- Rebase to v4.16-rc4 (linux-media/master) adjusting for metadata
conflicts.

Does this still have to be ATOMIC now that it's called from a work queue

Hi Guennadi,
Thank you for reviewing / taking a look through the series.

I think you're right.
This could very likely be changed to GFP_KERNEL.
Does this series impact anything on your async-controls series ?

Indeed, v4 looks simpler, I like it.

By "and buffer handles" do you mean you release the buffer reference ? I'd
then write this as
"Copy URB data to video buffers in process context, releasing buffer
references and requeuing the URB when done."

Do you need to reinit the work every time ? I thought that once after
allocating it was enough. I could be wrong though.

Is there a reason to allocate the workqueue at stream on time and destroy it
at stream off time ? Does it consume resources if we keep it allocated without
work queued ?

In our testing, this function ends up being called twice, if before
suspend the camera is streaming and if the camera disconnects between
suspend and resume. This is because uvc_video_suspend() calls this
function (with free_buffers = 0), but uvc_video_resume() wouldn't call
uvc_init_video() due to an earlier failure and uvc_v4l2_release()
would end up calling this function again, while the workqueue is
already destroyed.
The following diff seems to take care of it:

This makes me wonder, as stated in my review, whether we shouldn't keep the
work queue alive for the whole lifetime of the device instead of creating and
destroying it at stream start and stop.

In your testing, has this patch series brought noticeable performance
improvements ? Is there a particular reason you tested it, beside general

Some of our older ARM devices have external USB ports wired to a low
end dwc2 controller, which puts quite strict timing requirements on
interrupt handling. For some cameras that produce bigger payloads (in
our testing that was Logitech BRIO, running at 1080p), almost half of
every frame would be dropped, due to the memcpy from uncached memory
taking too much time. With this series, it goes down to bottom ~10% of
only a part of the frames. With one more optimization from Keiichi
[1], the problem disappears almost completely.

Thank you for the investigation and patch report ;D
I think moving the workqueue allocation might be a reasonable option as
suggested by Laurent in his review.
I'll look further into this when I get to another spin of the series.

Thank you for this. After discussing with Laurent, I have gone with the
approach of keeping the workqueue for the lifetime of the stream, rather
than the lifetime of the streamon.
