TarAldarion 637f847b68 Fix for packets being rejected in the ring buffer used by the xHCI controller. When a packet larger than MTU arrives in Linux from the modem, it is discarded with -EOVERFLOW error (Babble error). This is seen on USB3.0 and USB2.0 busses. This is essentially because the MRU (Max Receive Size) is not a separate entity to the MTU (Max Transmit Size) and the received packets can be larger than those transmitted. Following the babble error there were an endless supply of zero-length URBs which are rejected with -EPROTO (increasing the rx input error counter each time). This is only seen on USB3.0. These continue to come ad infinitum until the modem is shutdown. There appears to be a bug in the core USB handling code in Linux that doesn't deal well with network MTUs smaller than 1500 bytes. By default the dev->hard_mtu (the real MTU) is in lockstep with dev->rx_urb_size (essentially an MRU), and it's the latter that is causing trouble. This has nothing to do with the modems; the issue can be reproduced by getting a USB-Ethernet dongle, setting the MTU to 1430, and pinging with size greater than 1406.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
