[PATCH 1/2] USB: musb: fix inefficient copy of unaligned buffers

From: Johan Hovold
Date: Tue Apr 07 2015 - 05:47:28 EST


Make sure only to copy any actual data rather than the whole buffer,
when releasing the temporary buffer used for unaligned transfer buffers.

Note that this also fixes a lockup on disconnect, where repeated failed
transfers would starve the hub workqueue from processing the disconnect,
which would have prevented the urbs from being resubmitted. In this case
there is no data to forward, but the full buffer length was being copied
nonetheless.

The disconnect lockup can easily be reproduced using four unaligned
4k-bulk-in urbs on Beaglebone Black.
