In the function scan_dma_completions() there is a reusage of tmp variable. That coused a wrong value being used in some case when reading a short packet terminated transaction from an endpoint, in 2 concecutive reads. This was my logic for the patch: The req->td->dmadesc equals to 0 iff: -- There was a transaction ending with a short packet, and -- The read() to read it was shorter than the transaction length, and -- The read() to complete it is longer than the residue. I believe this is true from the printouts of various cases, but I can't be positive it is correct. Entering this if, there should be no more data in the endpoint (a short packet terminated the transaction). If there is, the transaction wasn't really done and we should exit and wait for it to finish entirely. That is the inner if. That inner if should never happen, but it is there to be on the safe side. That is why it is marked with the comment /* paranoia */. The size of the data available in the endpoint is ep->dma->dmacount and it is read to tmp. This entire clause is based on my own educated guesses. If we passed that inner if without breaking in the original code, than tmp & DMA_BYTE_MASK_COUNT== 0. That means we will always pass dma bytes count of 0 to dma_done(), meaning all the requested bytes were read. dma_done() reports back to the upper layer that the request (read()) was done and how many bytes were read. In the original code that would always be the request size, regardless of the actual size of the data. That did not make sense to me at all. However, the original value of tmp is req->td->dmacount, which is the dmacount value when the request's dma transaction was finished. And that is a much more reasonable value to report back to the caller. To recreate the problem: Read from a bulk out endpoint in a loop, 1024 * n bytes in each iteration. Connect the PLX to a host you can control. Send to that endpoint 1024 * n + x bytes, such that 0 < x < 1024 * n and (x % 1024) != 0 You would expect the first read() to return 1024 * n and the second read() to return x. But you will get the first read to return 1024 * n and the second one to return 1024 * n. That is true for every positive integer n.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
