2), the biggest change is the situation in which usb_submit_urb() is called in complete() callback, so the introduced tasklet schedule delay might be a con, but it shouldn't be a big deal: - control/bulk asynchronous transfer isn't sensitive to schedule delayThat is debatable.Missing a frame boundary is expensive because the increased latency then translates into lower throughput.Suppose so, considered that bulk transfer will do large data block transfer, and the extra frame or uFrame doesn't matter over the whole transfer time.
That is not true for all use cases. Networking looks vulnerable. Regards Oliver
