[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 12/32] uhci: Fix 1 ms delay in interrupt reporting to the guest

[Gerd Hoffmann]

From: Hans de Goede <address@hidden>

Re-arrange how we process frames / increase frnum / report pending interrupts,
to avoid a 1 ms delay in interrupt reporting to the guest. This increases
the packet throughput for cases where the guest submits a single packet,
then waits for its completion then re-submits from 500 pkts / sec to
1000 pkts / sec. This impacts for example the use of redirected / virtual
usb to serial convertors.
