commit142c779d05upstream. 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 commitbdb2b8cab4("[SCSI] erase invalid data returned by device") for details. Commite662502b3a("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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
