    usb-storage: automatically recognize bad residues · 59f4ff2e
    Alan Stern authored
    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.
