[ 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.
