My guess is that the check should have been written as:

	...
	if (sts_entry->iscsiFlags &ISCSI_FLAG_RESIDUAL_UNDER)
		scsi_set_resid(cmd, residual);
		if ((scsi_bufflen(cmd) - residual) < cmd->underflow) {
			...

It looks to be a logic-error while porting from qla2xxx, where
scsi_status during CS_COMPLETE is the full 16-bit status (high-byte is
transport, low-byte SCSI status) from from the FCP_RSP frame (not so
in iSCSI, where it's just the SCSI-status) and the residual check
in qla_isr.c::qla2x00_status_entry() looks like:

	if (!lscsi_status &&
	    ((unsigned)(scsi_bufflen(cp) - resid) <
	     cp->underflow)) {
		...

I'll defer to Dave S. for verification.
