      firewire: core: allocate workqueue to handle isochronous contexts in card · c6fb88a5
      Takashi Sakamoto authored
      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.
