cdc-wdm: fix "out-of-sync" due to missing notifications

Browse Source 
The driver enforces a strict one-to-one relationship between the
received RESPONSE_AVAILABLE notifications and messages read from
the device. At the same time, it will cancel the interrupt URB
when there is no client holding the character device open.

Many devices do not cope well with this behaviour.  They maintain
a FIFO queue of messages, and send notifications on a best effort
basis.  Messages are queued regardless of whether the notification
is successful or not. So if the driver loses a single notification,
which can easily happen when the interrupt URB is cancelled, then
the device and driver becomes out-of-sync. New messages end up
at the end of the queue, while the associated notification makes
the driver read only the first message from the queue.

This state is permanent from a user point of view. There is no
no way to flush the device queue without resetting the device or
using another driver.

The problem is easy to hit with current QMI and MBIM command line
tools, which typically close the character device after seeing
the reply they expect. Any pending unsolicited messages from the
device will then trigger the driver bug.

Fix by always reading all queued messages from the device when
the notification URB is first submitted.  This is expected to
end with an -EPIPE status when there are no more pending
messages, so demote the printk associated with -EPIPE to debug
level.

The workaround has been tested on a large number of different MBIM
and QMI devices, as well as the Ericsson F5521gw and H5321gw modems
with real Device Management functions.

* "drain_on_open" enables a hack to work around a firmware
* issue observed on network functions, in particular MBIM
* functions.
*
* Quoting section 7 of the CDC-WMC r1.1 specification:
*
* "The firmware shall interpret GetEncapsulatedResponse as a
* request to read response bytes. The firmware shall send
* the next wLength bytes from the response. The firmware
* shall allow the host to retrieve data using any number of
* GetEncapsulatedResponse requests. The firmware shall
* return a zero- length reply if there are no data bytes
* available.
*
* The firmware shall send ResponseAvailable notifications
* periodically, using any appropriate algorithm, to inform
* the host that there is data available in the reply
* buffer. The firmware is allowed to send ResponseAvailable
* notifications even if there is no data available, but
* this will obviously reduce overall performance."
*
* These requirements, although they make equally sense, are
* often not implemented by network functions. Some firmwares
* will queue data indefinitely, without ever resending a
* notification. The result is that the driver and firmware
* loses "syncronization" if the driver ever fails to respond
* to a single notification, something which easily can happen
* on release(). When this happens, the driver will appear to
* never receive notifications for the most current data. Each
* notification will only cause a single read, which returns
* the oldest data in the firmware's queue.
*
* The "drain_on_open" hack resolves the situation by draining
* data from the firmware until none is returned, without a
* prior notification.
*
* This will inevitably race with the firmware, risking that
* we read data from the device before handling the associated
* notification. To make things worse, some of the devices
* needing the hack do not implement the "return zero if no
* data is available" requirement either. Instead they return
* an error on the subsequent read in this case. This means
* that "winning" the race can cause an unexpected EIO to
* userspace.
*
* "winning" the race is more likely on resume() than on
* open(), and the unexpected error is more harmful in the
* middle of an open session. The hack is therefore only
* applied on open(), and not on resume() where it logically
* would be equally necessary. So we define open() as the only
* driver <-> device "syncronization point". Should we happen
* to lose a notification after open(), then syncronization
* will be lost until release()
*
* The hack should not be enabled for CDC WDM devices
* conforming to the CDC-WMC r1.1 specification. This is
* ensured by setting drain_on_open to false in wdm_probe().
