commit 48df4a6fd8 upstream.
For a long time, the xHCI driver has had this note:
/* FIXME: Ignoring zero-length packets, can those happen? */
It turns out that, yes, there are drivers that need to queue zero-length
transfers for isochronous OUT transfers. Without this patch, users will
see kernel hang messages when a driver attempts to enqueue an isochronous
URB with a zero length transfer (because count_isoc_trbs_needed will return
zero for that TD, xhci_td->last_trb will never be set, and updating the
dequeue pointer will cause an infinite loop).
Matěj ran into this issue when using an NI Audio4DJ USB soundcard
with the snd-usb-caiaq driver. See
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40702
Fix count_isoc_trbs_needed() to return 1 for zero-length transfers (thanks
Alan on the math help). Update the various TRB field calculations to deal
with zero-length transfers. We're still transferring one packet with a
zero-length data payload, so the total_packet_count should be 1. The
Transfer Burst Count (TBC) and Transfer Last Burst Packet Count (TLBPC)
fields should be set to zero.
This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 2.6.36.

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:
* This source code. This is necessarily an evolving work, and
includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
"gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.) Also, Documentation/usb has
more information.
* The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".
* Chip specifications for USB controllers. Examples include
host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.
* Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
functions. Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.
Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.
core/ - This is for the core USB host code, including the
usbfs files and the hub class driver ("khubd").
host/ - This is for USB host controller drivers. This
includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.
gadget/ - This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
the various gadget drivers which talk to them.
Individual USB driver directories. A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.
image/ - This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
digital cameras.
../input/ - This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/ - This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
subsystem.
../net/ - This is for network drivers.
serial/ - This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/ - This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories, and work for a range
of USB Class specified devices.
misc/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories.
