usb: Add a note about buffer thread safety.
This is to replace a commit which added locking here but caused some other problems. The idea behind the Buffer class is that a single producer can call pend_write() more than once and it's idempotent, however this is very complex to extend across multiple threads.

@ -134,3 +134,15 @@ USB MIDI devices in MicroPython.
|
|||
|
||||
The example [midi_example.py](examples/device/midi_example.py) demonstrates how
|
||||
to create a simple MIDI device to send MIDI data to and from the USB host.
|
||||
|
||||
### Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
#### Buffer thread safety
|
||||
|
||||
The internal Buffer class that's used by most of the USB device classes expects data
|
||||
to be written to it (i.e. sent to the host) by only one thread. Bytes may be
|
||||
lost from the USB transfers if more than one thread (or a thread and a callback)
|
||||
try to write to the buffer simultaneously.
|
||||
|
||||
If writing USB data from multiple sources, your code may need to add
|
||||
synchronisation (i.e. locks).
