scsi: vmw_pvscsi: Set residual data length conditionally
commit 142c779d upstream. The PVSCSI implementation in the VMware hypervisor under specific configuration ("SCSI Bus Sharing" set to "Physical") returns zero dataLen in the completion descriptor for READ CAPACITY(16). As a result, the kernel can not detect proper disk geometry. This can be recognized by the kernel message: [ 0.776588] sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] Sector size 0 reported, assuming 512. The PVSCSI implementation in QEMU does not set dataLen at all, keeping it zeroed. This leads to a boot hang as was reported by Shmulik Ladkani. It is likely that the controller returns the garbage at the end of the buffer. Residual length should be set by the driver in that case. The SCSI layer will erase corresponding data. See commit bdb2b8ca ("[SCSI] erase invalid data returned by device") for details. Commit e662502b ("scsi: vmw_pvscsi: Set correct residual data length") introduced the issue by setting residual length unconditionally, causing the SCSI layer to erase the useful payload beyond dataLen when this value is returned as 0. As a result, considering existing issues in implementations of PVSCSI controllers, we do not want to call scsi_set_resid() when dataLen == 0. Calling scsi_set_resid() has no effect if dataLen equals buffer length.
