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.

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.
