[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] ehci: Don't process too much frames in 1 timer tick (v2)

[Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>]

The Linux ehci isoc scheduling code fills the entire schedule ahead of
time minus 80 frames. If we make a large jump in where we are in the
schedule, ie 40 frames, then the scheduler all of a sudden will only have
40 frames left to work in, causing it to fail packet submissions
with error -27 (-EFBIG).

Changes in v2:
-Don't hardcode a maximum number of frames to process in one tick, instead:
 -Process a minimum number of frames to ensure we do eventually catch up
 -Stop (after the minimum number) when the guest has requested an irq
