This isn't the right way to do it: The overflow bit is a recent
introduction in SPC-4. The correct way to tell if we have an overflow
or not is to look at the additional sense length and compare it to the
allocation length; this will work for everything.
I'm not even convinced that overflow is important: for a lot of the
sense probes, we deliberately induce overflows by giving the request
sense command a short buffer. Printing a warning in scsi_check_sense
will get very noisy very fast.
And indeed I would rather prefer to have it the other way round;
we're using a fixed sense_buffer within the SCSI stack, which might
not be large enough to hold all sense data.
So I would prefer to have an indicator on whether _the internal_
sense buffer overflowed; this would even give us some valid use-case
now.
Plus we can add the sense buffer overflow bit to that if required.
Cheers,
Hannes
