After rummaging around some more in both kernel and userland, I think this patchlet is not only functional, but (random accident) technically correct. What the heck, let's see if it flies... snippet from userland: /* * Return the residual DMA count for last command. * If this count is < 0, then a DMA overrun occured. */ EXPORT int scg_getresid(scgp) SCSI *scgp; { return (scgp->scmd->resid); } This function is used all over the place in cdrecord to determine transfer size. (patchlet takes wing, and... goes splat?) Fix CD burning regression introduced by 6b00769fe1502b4ad97bb327ef7ac971b208bfb5. raw_data_len must be updated to reflect residual data upon IO completion because it is used by blk_complete_sghdr_rq() to set hdr->resid which eventually becomes visible to userland.
