usb: cdc-wdm: fix reading stuck on device close
cdc-wdm tracks whether a response reading request is in-progress and blocks the next request from being sent until the previous request is completed. As soon as last user closes the cdc-wdm device file, the driver cancels any ongoing requests, resets the pending response counter, but leaves the response reading in-progress flag (WDM_RESPONDING) untouched. So if the user closes the device file during the response receive request is being performed, no more data will be obtained from the modem. The request will be cancelled, effectively preventing the WDM_RESPONDING flag from being reseted. Keeping the flag set will prevent a new response receive request from being sent, permanently blocking the read path. The read path will staying blocked until the module will be reloaded or till the modem will be re-attached. This stuck has been observed with a Huawei E3372 modem attached to an OpenWrt router and using the comgt utility to set up a network connection. Fix this issue by clearing the WDM_RESPONDING flag on the device file close. Without this fix, the device reading stuck can be easily reproduced in a few connection establishing attempts. With this fix, a load test for modem connection re-establishing worked for several hours without any issues.
