The implicit feedback mode uses a ring buffer for storing the received
packet sizes from the feedback source, and the code has a slight flaw;
when a playback stream stalls by some reason and the URBs aren't
processed, the next_packet FIFO might become empty, but the driver
can't distinguish whether it's empty or full because it's managed with
read_poss and write_pos.

This patch addresses those by changing the next_packet array
management.  Instead of keeping read and write positions, now the head
position and the queued amount are kept.  It's easier to understand
about the emptiness.  Also, the URB active flag is now cleared before
calling queue_pending_output_urbs() for avoiding (theoretically)
possible inconsistency.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
