From the iSCSI RFC:

   SCSI-Presented Data Transfer Length (SPDTL) is the term this document
   uses (see Section 1.1 for definition) to represent the aggregate data
   length that the target SCSI layer attempts to transfer using the
   local iSCSI layer for a task.  Expected Data Transfer Length (EDTL)
   is the iSCSI term that represents the length of data that the iSCSI
   layer expects to transfer for a task.  EDTL is specified in the SCSI
   Command PDU.

   When SPDTL = EDTL for a task, the target iSCSI layer completes the
   task with no residuals.  Whenever SPDTL differs from EDTL for a task,
   that task is said to have a residual.

   If SPDTL > EDTL for a task, iSCSI Overflow MUST be signaled in the
   SCSI Response PDU as specified in [RFC3720].  The Residual Count MUST
   be set to the numerical value of (SPDTL - EDTL).

   If SPDTL < EDTL for a task, iSCSI Underflow MUST be signaled in the
   SCSI Response PDU as specified in [RFC3720].  The Residual Count MUST
   be set to the numerical value of (EDTL - SPDTL).

   Note that the Overflow and Underflow scenarios are independent of
   Data-In and Data-Out.  Either scenario is logically possible in
   either direction of data transfer.

If the residual is changed from signed into unsigned, how is a SCSI LLD expected to report the difference between residual overflow and residual underflow to the SCSI core?

Thanks,

Bart.
