[ Upstream commit 04516706bb99889986ddfa3a769ed50d2dc7ac13 ]

When we read device memory, we lock a spinlock, write the address we
want to read from the device and then spin in a loop reading the data
in 32-bit quantities from another register.

As the description makes clear, this is rather inefficient, incurring
a PCIe bus transaction for every read. In a typical device today, we
want to read 786k SMEM if it crashes, leading to 192k register reads.
Occasionally, we've seen the whole loop take over 20 seconds and then
triggering the soft lockup detector.

Clearly, it is unreasonable to spin here for such extended periods of
time.

To fix this, break the loop down into an outer and an inner loop, and
break out of the inner loop if more than half a second elapsed. To
avoid too much overhead, check for that only every 128 reads, though
there's no particular reason for that number. Then, unlock and relock
to obtain NIC access again, reprogram the start address and continue.

This will keep (interrupt) latencies on the CPU down to a reasonable
time.

[ Upstream commit f33d9e2b48a34e1558b67a473a1fc1d6e793f93c ]

Starting with iOS 14 released in September 2020, connectivity using the
personal hotspot USB tethering function of iOS devices is broken.

Communication between the host and the device (for example ICMP traffic
or DNS resolution using the DNS service running in the device itself)
works fine, but communication to endpoints further away doesn't work.

Investigation on the matter shows that no UDP and ICMP traffic from the
tethered host is reaching the Internet at all. For TCP traffic there are
exchanges between tethered host and server but packets are modified in
transit leading to impossible communication.

After some trials Matti Vuorela discovered that reducing the URB buffer
size by two bytes restored the previous behavior. While a better
solution might exist to fix the issue, since the protocol is not
publicly documented and considering the small size of the fix, let's do
that.
