It still is. It just is restoring the original behavior.

The original code was

if (cmd->act_len >= rq->data_len)
rq->data_len = 0;
else
rq->data_len -= cmd->act_len

So, I could have written

if (cmd->act_len >= rq->resid_len)
rq->resid_len = 0;
else
rq->resid_len -= cmd->act_len

Instead I wrote

rq->resid_len -= min(cmd->act_len, rq->resid_len);

It's just capping the amount to be subtracted so that resid_len
doesn't underflow. What is so wrong or bad style about that?

It would be great if you do before it hits Linus's tree.

Thanks.
