usb-storage: automatically recognize bad residues
This patch (as1119) will help to reduce the clutter of usb-storage's unusual_devs file by automatically detecting some devices that need the IGNORE_RESIDUE flag. The idea is that devices should never return a non-zero residue for an INQUIRY or a READ CAPACITY command unless they failed to transfer all the requested data. So if one of these commands transfers a standard amount of data but there is a positive residue, we know that the residue is bogus and we can set the flag. This fixes the problems reported in Bugzilla #11125. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
