Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 1/1] Bluetooth: Prioritize SCO traffic

Hi Abhishek,

> When scheduling TX packets, send all SCO/eSCO packets first, check for
> pending SCO/eSCO packets after every ACL/LE packet and send them if any
> are pending.  This is done to make sure that we can meet SCO deadlines
> on slow interfaces like UART.
> 
> If we were to queue up multiple ACL packets without checking for a SCO
> packet, we might miss the SCO timing. For example:
> 
> The time it takes to send a maximum size ACL packet (1024 bytes):
> t = 10/8 * 1024 bytes * 8 bits/byte * 1 packet / baudrate
>        where 10/8 is uart overhead due to start/stop bits per byte
> 
> Replace t = 3.75ms (SCO deadline), which gives us a baudrate of 2730666.
> 
> At a baudrate of 3000000, if we didn't check for SCO packets within 1024
> bytes, we would miss the 3.75ms timing window.

scrap this function. It has almost zero benefit.

Same as above. Just call the two functions.

I would actually just move _le up after _acl and then keep _sco and _esco at the bottom. The calls here are just for the case there are no ACL nor LE packets.
