[PATCH net-next] qmi_wwan: set FLAG_SEND_ZLP to avoid network initiated disconnect

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It has been reported that the dummy byte we add to avoid
ZLPs can be forwarded by the modem to the PGW/GGSN, and that
some operators will drop the connection if this happens.

In theory, QMI devices are based on CDC ECM and should as such
both support ZLPs and silently ignore the dummy byte.  The latter
assumption failed.  Let's test out the first.

I am a bit worried about the effect of this change on all the
devices I can't test myself. But trying it is the only way we
can ever find out....
