Now that we have a bandwidth interval table per root port or TT that describes the endpoint bandwidth information, we can finally use it to check whether the bus bandwidth is oversubscribed for a new device configuration/alternate interface setting. The complication for this algorithm is that the bit of hardware logic that creates the bus schedule is only 12-bit logic. In order to make sure it can represent the maximum bus bandwidth in 12 bits, it has to convert the endpoint max packet size and max esit payload into "blocks" (basically a less-precise representation). The block size for each speed of device is different, aside from low speed and full speed. In order to make sure we don't allow a setup where the scheduler might fail, we also have to do the bandwidth checking in blocks. After checking that the endpoints fit in the schedule, we store the bandwidth used for this root port or TT. If this is a FS/LS device under an external HS hub, we also update the TT bandwidth and the root port bandwidth (if this is a newly activated or deactivated TT). I won't go into the details of the algorithm, as it's pretty well documented in the comments.

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:
* This source code. This is necessarily an evolving work, and
includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
"gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.) Also, Documentation/usb has
more information.
* The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".
* Chip specifications for USB controllers. Examples include
host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.
* Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
functions. Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.
Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.
core/ - This is for the core USB host code, including the
usbfs files and the hub class driver ("khubd").
host/ - This is for USB host controller drivers. This
includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.
gadget/ - This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
the various gadget drivers which talk to them.
Individual USB driver directories. A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.
image/ - This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
digital cameras.
../input/ - This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/ - This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
subsystem.
../net/ - This is for network drivers.
serial/ - This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/ - This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories, and work for a range
of USB Class specified devices.
misc/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories.
