firewire: core: allocate workqueue to handle isochronous contexts in …
…card 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.
