+[BUG] scsi: vmw_pvscsi: Boot hangs during scsi under qemu, post commit e662502b3a78
+
+Hi,
+
+Commit e662502b3a78 ("scsi: vmw_pvscsi: Set correct residual data length"),
+and its backports to stable trees, makes kernel hang during boot, when
+ran as a VM under qemu with following parameters:
+
+  -drive file=$DISKFILE,if=none,id=sda
+  -device pvscsi
+  -device scsi-hd,bus=scsi.0,drive=sda
+
+Diving deeper, commit e662502b3a78

+assumes 'e->dataLen' is properly armed with actual num of bytes
+transferred; alas qemu's hw/scsi/vmw_pvscsi.c never arms the 'dataLen'
+field of the completion descriptor (kept zero).
+
+As a result, the residual count is set as the *entire* 'scsi_bufflen' of a
+good transfer, which makes upper scsi layers repeatedly ignore this
+valid transfer.
+
+Not properly arming 'dataLen' seems as an oversight in qemu, which needs
+to be fixed.
+
+However, since kernels with commit e662502b3a78 (and backports) now fail
+to boot under qemu's "-device pvscsi", a suggested workaround is to set
+the residual count *only* if 'e->dataLen' is armed, e.g:
