[patch 08/23] UHCI: Fix handling of short last packet

[Greg KH]

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch (as753) fixes the way uhci-hcd handles a short packet when it
is the last packet of an URB.  Right now the driver handles short packets
the same no matter when they occur.  However, the controller stops
transferring packets when the short packet is not the last one (otherwise
it would be reading beyond the end of the device's data) and needs to be
restarted, whereas no such need occurs when the short packet is the last
one.

The result of the bug is that USB endpoint queues experience intermittent
hangs, a regression in 2.6.17 with respect to earlier kernels.  The bug
was raised in Bugzilla #6752 and this patch fixed it.
