[ Upstream commit e662502b3a ]
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.
Before (INQUIRY PAGE 0xB0 with 128B buffer):
$ sg_raw -r 128 /dev/sda 12 01 B0 00 80 00
SCSI Status: Good
Received 128 bytes of data:

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
