PVSCSI implementation in VMware hypervisor under specific configuration ("SCSI Bus Sharing" set to "Physical") returns zero dataLen in completion descriptor for read_capacity_16. As a result, the kernel can not detect proper disk geometry. It can be recognized by the kernel message: [ 0.776588] sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] Sector size 0 reported, assuming 512.

PVSCSI implementation in QEMU does not set dataLen at all keeping it zeroed, leading to the boot hang, as was reported by Shmulik Ladkani.

Applied to 5.16/scsi-fixes, thanks!
