Hi Feng,
Digging in the code history, I found the original value of
USB_BOOT_IO_BLOCKS was 64, but it was changed to be 128 by the commit
41e8ff2. So could you help to explain my questions as below?
1. What was the exact reason to change this value?
2. And for the comment in the code, it says "Max carried size is 512B *
128 = 64KB", but we see that some USB CDROM has block size of 2KB. So do
we mean something for 64KB max size?
3. From USB specification perspective, is there any limit for transfer
length, or the device should be able to transfer arbitrary length?

Subject: [edk2] Why is USB_BOOT_IO_BLOCKS set to 128?
Dear experts,
Could anyone help to explain why USB_BOOT_IO_BLOCKS in
MdeModulePkg/Bus/Usb/UsbMassStorageDxe/UsbMassBoot.h is set to 128?
We found on some platforms this value may cause USB boot failure and
*64* blocks will make them work. Though we have not got the final root cause,
it will be really helpful if you can tell the reason of setting it to 128 and
possible root cause for such issue.
Thanks and regards,
Heyi
