Bluetooth: Work around SCO over USB HCI design defect
The USB interface between the host and the bluetooth adapter used for SCO packets uses an USB isochronous endpoint with a fragmentation scheme that does not tolerate errors. Except USB isochronous transfers do not provide a reliable stream with guaranteed delivery. (There is no retry on error, see USB spec v2.0 5.6 and 8.5.5.) To fragment a packet, the bluetooth HCI simply splits it in parts and transfer them as-is. The receiver is expected to reconstruct the packet by assuming the first fragment contains the header and parsing its size field. There is no error detection either. If a fragment is lost, the end result is that the kernel is no longer synchronized and will pass malformed data to the upper layers, since it has no way to tell if the first fragment is an actual first fragment or a continuation fragment. Resynchronization can only happen by luck and requires an unbounded amount of time. The typical symptom for a HSP/HFP bluetooth headset is that the microphone stops working and dmesg contains piles of rate-limited "Bluetooth: hci0: SCO packet for unknown connection handle XXXX" errors for an indeterminate amount of time, until the kernel accidentally resynchronize. A workaround is to ask the upper layer to prevalidate the first fragment header. This is not possible with user channels so this workaround is disabled in this case. This problem is the most severe when using an ath3k adapter on an i.MX 6 board, where packet loss occur regularly, possibly because it is an USB1 device connected on an USB2 hub and this is a special case requiring split transactions.
