From USB in a nutshell we have:

"A bulk transfer is considered complete when it has transferred the
exact amount of data requested, transferred a packet less than the
maximum endpoint size, or transferred a zero-length packet."

From USB 3.0 Specification we have (4.4.6.1):

"A bulk transfer is complete when the endpoint does one of the
following:

 . Has transferred exactly the amount of data expected.
 . Transfers a data packet with a payload less than 1024 bytes.
 . Responds with a STALL handshake."

From USB 2.0 Specification we have (5.8.3)

"A bulk transfer is complete when the endpoint does one of the
following:

 . Has transferred exactly the amount of data expected
 . Transfers a packet with a payload size less than wMaxPacketSize or
	transfers a zero-length packet"

In this particular test case, we are falling in a situation where gadget
driver waits to receive 4096 bytes, but host only sends 2048 bytes.
Withtout a packet which is less than wMaxPacketSize, we don't know when
to finish the transfer. Clearly a ZLP is needed here IMHO. Doing an
Abort transfer on the next EP IRQ sounds very hackish to me and this is
actually a long standing bug of the Gadget Framework which was added
just to get g_zero to work rather than fixing the broken usbtest.c
module.
