There are cases, when 80% max isochronous bandwidth is too limiting.
For example I have two USB video capture cards which stream uncompressed
video, and to stream full NTSC + PAL videos we'd need
NTSC 640x480 YUV422 @30fps ~17.6 MB/s
PAL 720x576 YUV422 @25fps ~19.7 MB/s
isoc bandwidth.
Now, due to limited alt settings in capture devices NTSC one ends up
streaming with max_pkt_size=2688 and PAL with max_pkt_size=2892, both
with interval=1. In terms of microframe time allocation this gives
NTSC ~53us
PAL ~57us
and together
~110us > 100us == 80% of 125us uframe time.
So those two devices can't work together simultaneously because the'd
over allocate isochronous bandwidth.
80% seemed a bit arbitrary to me, and I've tried to raise it to 90% and
both devices started to work together, so I though sometimes it would be
a good idea for users to override hardcoded default of max 80% isoc
bandwidth.
After all, isn't it a user who should decide how to load the bus? If I
can live with 10% or even 5% bulk bandwidth that should be ok. I'm a USB
newcomer, but that 80% set in stone by USB 2.0 specification seems to be
chosen pretty arbitrary to me, just to serve as a reasonable default.
NOTE 1
~~~~~~
for two streams with max_pkt_size=3072 (worst case) both time
allocation would be 60us+60us=120us which is 96% periodic bandwidth
leaving 4% for bulk and control. Alan Stern suggested that bulk then
would be problematic (less than 300*8 bittimes left per microframe), but
I think that is still enough for control traffic.
NOTE 2
~~~~~~
Sarah Sharp expressed concern that maxing out periodic bandwidth
could lead to vendor-specific hardware bugs on host controllers, because

So far I've only tested this patch on my HP Mini 5103 with N10 chipset

and the system works stable with 110us/uframe (~88%) isoc bandwith allocated for
above-mentioned isochronous transfers.
NOTE 3
~~~~~~
This feature is off by default. I mean max periodic bandwidth is set to
100us/uframe by default exactly as it was before the patch. So only those of us
who need the extreme settings are taking the risk - normal users who do not
alter uframe_periodic_max sysfs attribute should not see any change at all.
NOTE 4
~~~~~~
I've tried to update documentation in Documentation/ABI/ thoroughly, but
only "TBD" was put into Documentation/usb/ehci.txt -- the text there seems
to be outdated and much needing refreshing, before it could be amended.

+Description: Maximum time allowed for periodic transfers per microframe (μs)
+
+ [ USB 2.0 sets maximum allowed time for periodic transfers per
+ microframe to be 80%, that is 100 microseconds out of 125
+ microseconds (full microframe).
+
+ However there are cases, when 80% max isochronous bandwidth is
+ too limiting. For example two video streams could require 110
+ microseconds of isochronous bandwidth per microframe to work
+ together. ]
+
+ Through this setting it is possible to raise the limit so that
+ the host controller would allow allocating more than 100
+ microseconds of periodic bandwidth per microframe.
+
+ Beware, non-standard modes are usually not thoroughly tested by
+ hardware designers, and the hardware can malfunction when this
+ setting differ from default 100.
transfers are fully scheduled, so the main issue is likely to be how
to trigger "high bandwidth" modes.
+TBD: More than standard 80% periodic bandwidth allocation is possible
+through sysfs uframe_periodic_max parameter. Describe that.
