Hi !

in drivers/scsi/dc395x.c:srb_done()
3387 if (srb->total_xfer_length
3388 && srb->total_xfer_length >= cmd->underflow)
3389 cmd->result =
3390 MK_RES_LNX(DRIVER_SENSE, DID_OK,
3391 srb->end_message, CHECK_CONDITION);
3392 /*SET_RES_DID(cmd->result,DID_OK) */
3393 else
3394 cmd->result =
3395 MK_RES_LNX(DRIVER_SENSE, DID_OK,
3396 srb->end_message, CHECK_CONDITION);
(line numbers from 4.9.0-rc1, localversion-next next-20161016)

The if and else are identical, these lines date back to pre-git (so git blame
assigns them to the initial 2.6.12-rc2 import).

Not sure if it makes much sense trying to fix up something like this at all
is it worth trying to figure out what this should be ? I would asume that
given that this survived atleast 12 years in this form that the condition
could be removed and the cmd-> result set unconditionally here.

thx!
