4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Tobias Herzog <t-herzog@xxxxxx> commit dae3ddba36f8c337fb59cef07d564da6fc9b7551 upstream. Resetting the write index of the notification buffer on urb unlink (e.g. closing a cdc-acm device from userspace) may lead to wrong interpretation of further received notifications, in case the index is not 0 when urb unlink happens (i.e. when parts of a notification already have been transferred). On the device side there is no "reset" of the notification transimission and thus we would get out of sync with the device.
