    usb: gadget: ncm: Fix handling of zero block length packets · f90ce1e0
    Krishna Kurapati authored
    While connecting to a Linux host with CDC_NCM_NTB_DEF_SIZE_TX
    set to 65536, it has been observed that we receive short packets,
    which come at interval of 5-10 seconds sometimes and have block
    length zero but still contain 1-2 valid datagrams present.
    
    According to the NCM spec:
    
    "If wBlockLength = 0x0000, the block is terminated by a
    short packet. In this case, the USB transfer must still
    be shorter than dwNtbInMaxSize or dwNtbOutMaxSize. If
    exactly dwNtbInMaxSize or dwNtbOutMaxSize bytes are sent,
    and the size is a multiple of wMaxPacketSize for the
    given pipe, then no ZLP shall be sent.
    
    wBlockLength= 0x0000 must be used with extreme care, because
    of the possibility that the host and device may get out of
    sync, and because of test issues.
    
    wBlockLength = 0x0000 allows the sender to reduce latency by
    starting to send a very large NTB, and then shortening it when
    the sender discovers that there’s not sufficient data to justify
    sending a large NTB"
    
    However, there is a potential issue with the current implementation,
    as it checks for the occurrence of multiple NTBs in a single
    giveback by verifying if the leftover bytes to be processed is zero
    or not. If the block length reads zero, we would process the same
    NTB infintely because the leftover bytes is never zero and it leads
    to a crash. Fix this by bailing out if block length reads zero.
