[ Upstream commit 6c95483b768c62f8ee933ae08a1bdbcb78b5410f ]
Orabug: 20902628
When an ldc control-only packet is received during data exchange in
read_nonraw(), a new rx head is calculated but the rx queue head is not
actually advanced (rx_set_head() is not called) and a branch is taken to
'no_data' at which point two things can happen depending on the value
of the newly calculated rx head and the current rx tail:
- If the rx queue is determined to be not empty, then the wrong packet
is picked up.
- If the rx queue is determined to be empty, then a read error (EAGAIN)
is eventually returned since it is falsely assumed that more data was
expected.
The fix is to update the rx head and return in case of a control only
packet during data exchange.
