I'm not sure I understand.  Can you restate?


I'll try to explain more in the meantime...

Both before and after my change, this function would place something
on the ready queue if the next_active_frame <= the frame number as of
last SOF interrupt (aka hsotg->frame_number).  Otherwise it goes on
the inactive queue.  Assuming that the previous change ("usb: dwc2:
host: Manage frame nums better in scheduler") worked properly then
next_active_frame shouldn't be less than (hsotg->frame_number - 1).
Remember that next_active_frame is always 1 before the wire frame, so
if "next_active_frame == hsotg->frame_number - 1" it means that we
need to get the transfer on the wire _right away_.  If
"next_active_frame == hsotg->frame_number" the transfer doesn't need
to go on the wire right away, but since dwc2 can be prepped one frame
in advance it doesn't hurt to give it to the hardware right away if
there's space.

As I understand it, if we stick something on the ready queue it won't
generally get looked at until the next SOF interrupt.  That means
we'll be too late if "next_active_frame == hsotg->frame_number - 1"
and we'll possibly be too late (depending on interrupt latency) if
"next_active_frame == hsotg->frame_number"


Note that before my series, there were more places than just the SOF
interrupt that would update hsotg->frame_number (see "usb: dwc2: host:
Manage frame nums better in scheduler" for fix).  Also before my
series (specially "usb: dwc2: host: Manage frame nums better in
scheduler") we used the actual current frame number when doing
comparisons.  Also before my series (specifically "usb: dwc2: host:
Properly set even/odd frame") we didn't really place things in the
frame that they were scheduled in anyway.


Also note that I believe that when dwc2_hcd_qh_deactivate() is called
our spinlock is held which means that the SOF interrupt either ran
before our function or won't run till after it.
