This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled scsi: vmw_pvscsi: Set correct residual data length to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: scsi-vmw_pvscsi-set-correct-residual-data-length.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 2d7aeee08f2042970844b2a153914a8160d29358 Author: Matt Wang <wwentao@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed May 19 09:49:32 2021 +0000 scsi: vmw_pvscsi: Set correct residual data length [ Upstream commit e662502b3a782d479e67736a5a1c169a703d853a ] Some commands (such as INQUIRY) may return less data than the initiator requested. To avoid conducting useless information, set the right residual count to make upper layer aware of this.
