linux.git/drivers/usb/common/led.c, branch v3.19 Linux kernel source tree usb: Add LED triggers for USB activity 2014-09-25T15:05:12+00:00 Michal Sojka sojka@merica.cz 2014-09-24T20:43:21+00:00 0cfbd328d60f85b0dcf66df61a3615e9a8e5d4e4 With this patch, USB activity can be signaled by blinking a LED. There are two triggers, one for activity on USB host and one for USB gadget. Both triggers should work with all host/device controllers. Tested only with musb. Performace: I measured performance overheads on ARM Cortex-A8 (TI AM335x) running on 600 MHz. Duration of usb_led_activity(): - with no LED attached to the trigger: 2 ± 1 µs - with one GPIO LED attached to the trigger: 2 ± 1 µs or 8 ± 2 µs (two peaks in histogram) Duration of functions calling usb_led_activity() (with this patch applied and no LED attached to the trigger): - __usb_hcd_giveback_urb(): 10 - 25 µs - usb_gadget_giveback_request(): 2 - 6 µs Signed-off-by: Michal Sojka <sojka@merica.cz> Acked-by: Felipe Balbi <balbi@ti.com> Tested-by: Felipe Balbi <balbi@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> 
With this patch, USB activity can be signaled by blinking a LED. There
are two triggers, one for activity on USB host and one for USB gadget.

Both triggers should work with all host/device controllers. Tested only
with musb.

Performace: I measured performance overheads on ARM Cortex-A8 (TI
AM335x) running on 600 MHz.

Duration of usb_led_activity():
- with no LED attached to the trigger:        2 ± 1 µs
- with one GPIO LED attached to the trigger:  2 ± 1 µs or 8 ± 2 µs (two peaks in histogram)

Duration of functions calling usb_led_activity() (with this patch
applied and no LED attached to the trigger):
- __usb_hcd_giveback_urb():    10 - 25 µs
- usb_gadget_giveback_request(): 2 - 6 µs
