Jose Alonso f88d8c1882 net: usb: ax88179_178a needs FLAG_SEND_ZLP
commit 36a15e1cb134c0395261ba1940762703f778438c upstream.

The extra byte inserted by usbnet.c when
 (length % dev->maxpacket == 0) is causing problems to device.

This patch sets FLAG_SEND_ZLP to avoid this.

Tested with: 0b95:1790 ASIX Electronics Corp. AX88179 Gigabit Ethernet

Problems observed:
======================================================================
1) Using ssh/sshfs. The remote sshd daemon can abort with the message:
   "message authentication code incorrect"
   This happens because the tcp message sent is corrupted during the
   USB "Bulk out". The device calculate the tcp checksum and send a
   valid tcp message to the remote sshd. Then the encryption detects
   the error and aborts.
2) NETDEV WATCHDOG: ... (ax88179_178a): transmit queue 0 timed out
3) Stop normal work without any log message.
   The "Bulk in" continue receiving packets normally.
   The host sends "Bulk out" and the device responds with -ECONNRESET.
   (The netusb.c code tx_complete ignore -ECONNRESET)
Under normal conditions these errors take days to happen and in
intense usage take hours.

A test with ping gives packet loss, showing that something is wrong:
ping -4 -s 462 {destination}	# 462 = 512 - 42 - 8
Not all packets fail.
My guess is that the device tries to find another packet starting
at the extra byte and will fail or not depending on the next
bytes (old buffer content).

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
