[PATCH] USB Storage: Handle excess 0-length data packets
This patch is an attempt to cope with Genesys Logic's, shall we say, creative approach to implementing the USB protocols. Their high-speed mass storage devices sometimes add an excess 0-length packet to the end of a data phase transmission. Of course we don't read that packet as part of the data phase; we see it as a 0-length CSW message. The real CSW follows immediately after. (Or sometimes a STALL follows immediately after, with the real CSW coming after that!) The patch checks the results of the first attempt to read the CSW. If it sees a normal packet (not a STALL) with length 0, it retries the read. Reports from two users indicate that it improves the performance of their USB-2 DVD drives.
