From 01b2c35b051b2657d8b50d9a71fd617371ef0c4f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Willy Tarreau Date: Sat, 24 Jul 2021 17:27:39 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] USB: serial: ch341: fix character loss at high transfer rates commit 3c18e9baee0ef97510dcda78c82285f52626764b upstream. The chip supports high transfer rates, but with the small default buffers (64 bytes read), some entire blocks are regularly lost. This typically happens at 1.5 Mbps (which is the default speed on Rockchip devices) when used as a console to access U-Boot where the output of the "help" command misses many lines and where "printenv" mangles the environment. The FTDI driver doesn't suffer at all from this. One difference is that it uses 512 bytes rx buffers and 256 bytes tx buffers. Adopting these values completely resolved the issue, even the output of "dmesg" is reliable. I preferred to leave the Tx value unchanged as it is not involved in this issue, while a change could increase the risk of triggering the same issue with other devices having too small buffers. I verified that it backports well (and works) at least to 5.4. It's of low importance enough to be dropped where it doesn't trivially apply anymore.
