4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Brad Love <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit c7c7e8d7803406daa21e96d00c357de8b77b6764 ] Hauppauge em28xx bulk devices exhibit continuity errors and corrupted packets, when run in VMWare virtual machines. Unknown if other manufacturers bulk models exhibit the same issue. KVM/Qemu is unaffected. According to documentation the maximum packet multiplier for em28xx in bulk transfer mode is 256 * 188 bytes. This changes the size of bulk transfers to maximum supported value and have a bonus beneficial alignment. Before: After: This sets up USB to expect just as many bytes as the em28xx is set to emit. Successful usage under load afterwards natively and in both VMWare and KVM/Qemu virtual machines.
