This patch (as1579) adds an hrtimer event to handle deallocation of iTDs and siTDs in ehci-hcd. Because of the frame-oriented approach used by the EHCI periodic schedule, the hardware can continue to access the Transfer Descriptor for isochronous (or split-isochronous) transactions for up to a millisecond after the transaction completes. The iTD (or siTD) must not be reused before then. The strategy currently used involves putting completed iTDs on a list of cached entries and every so often returning them to the endpoint's free list. The new strategy reduces overhead by putting completed iTDs back on the free list immediately, although they are not reused until it is safe to do so. When the isochronous endpoint stops (its queue becomes empty), the iTDs on its free list get moved to a global list, from which they will be deallocated after a minimum of 2 ms. This delay is what the new hrtimer event is for. Overall this may not be a tremendous improvement over the current code, but to me it seems a lot more clear and logical. In addition, it removes the need for each iTD to keep a reference to the ehci_iso_stream it belongs to, since the iTD never needs to be moved back to the stream's free list from the global list.

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:
* This source code. This is necessarily an evolving work, and
includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
"gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.) Also, Documentation/usb has
more information.
* The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".
* Chip specifications for USB controllers. Examples include
host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.
* Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
functions. Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.
Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.
core/ - This is for the core USB host code, including the
usbfs files and the hub class driver ("khubd").
host/ - This is for USB host controller drivers. This
includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.
gadget/ - This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
the various gadget drivers which talk to them.
Individual USB driver directories. A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.
image/ - This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
digital cameras.
../input/ - This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/ - This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
subsystem.
../net/ - This is for network drivers.
serial/ - This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/ - This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories, and work for a range
of USB Class specified devices.
misc/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories.
