DbC may add 1024 bogus bytes to the beginneing of the receiving endpoint
if DbC hw triggers a STALL event before any Transfer Blocks (TRBs) for
incoming data are queued, but driver handles the event after it queued
the TRBs.
This is possible as xHCI DbC hardware may trigger spurious STALL transfer
events even if endpoint is empty. The STALL event contains a pointer
to the stalled TRB, and "remaining" untransferred data length.
As there are no TRBs queued yet the STALL event will just point to first
TRB position of the empty ring, with '0' bytes remaining untransferred.
DbC driver is polling for events, and may not handle the STALL event
before /dev/ttyDBC0 is opened and incoming data TRBs are queued.
The DbC event handler will now assume the first queued TRB (length 1024)
has stalled with '0' bytes remaining untransferred, and copies the data
This race situation can be practically mitigated by making sure the event
handler handles all pending transfer events when DbC reaches configured
state, and only then create dev/ttyDbC0, and start queueing transfers.
The event handler can this way detect the STALL events on empty rings
and discard them before any transfers are queued.
This does in practice solve the issue, but still leaves a small possible
gap for the race to trigger.
We still need a way to distinguish spurious STALLs on empty rings with '0'
bytes remaing, from actual STALL events with all bytes transmitted.

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 reStructuredText 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.
