IIRC that's required for correct operation of the DMA mapping API on some platforms, depending on the cache architecture. The additional sync can affect performances, so it would be useful to re-run the perf test. > /* vsync: 0 = don't copy data > 1 = sync-hunt > 2 = synched > @@ -428,16 +459,15 @@ static int pwc_isoc_init(struct pwc_device *pdev) > urb->dev = udev; > urb->pipe = usb_rcvisocpipe(udev, pdev->vendpoint); > urb->transfer_flags = URB_ISO_ASAP | URB_NO_TRANSFER_DMA_MAP; > - urb->transfer_buffer = usb_alloc_coherent(udev, > - ISO_BUFFER_SIZE, > - GFP_KERNEL, > - &urb->transfer_dma); > + urb->transfer_buffer_length = ISO_BUFFER_SIZE; > + urb->transfer_buffer = pwc_alloc_urb_buffer(&udev->dev, > + urb->transfer_buffer_length, > + &urb->transfer_dma); > if (urb->transfer_buffer == NULL) { > PWC_ERROR("Failed to allocate urb buffer %d\n", i); > pwc_isoc_cleanup(pdev); > return -ENOMEM; > } > - urb->transfer_buffer_length = ISO_BUFFER_SIZE; > urb->complete = pwc_isoc_handler; > urb->context = pdev; > urb->start_frame = 0; > @@ -488,15 +518,17 @@ static void pwc_iso_free(struct pwc_device *pdev) > > /* Freeing ISOC buffers one by one */ > for (i = 0; i < MAX_ISO_BUFS; i++) { > - if (pdev->urbs[i]) { > + struct urb *urb = pdev->urbs[i]; > + > + if (urb) { > PWC_DEBUG_MEMORY("Freeing URB\n"); > - if (pdev->urbs[i]->transfer_buffer) { > - usb_free_coherent(pdev->udev, > - pdev->urbs[i]->transfer_buffer_length, > - pdev->urbs[i]->transfer_buffer, > - pdev->urbs[i]->transfer_dma); > + if (urb->transfer_buffer) { > + pwc_free_urb_buffer(&urb->dev->dev, > + urb->transfer_buffer_length, > + urb->transfer_buffer, > + urb->transfer_dma); > } No need for curly braces. > - usb_free_urb(pdev->urbs[i]); > + usb_free_urb(urb); > pdev->urbs[i] = NULL; > } > } -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart
