Incisive, thank you.

Is there an easy way to test whether an HBA implements underflow
correctly?

For example, to inject an underflow into ioctl SG_IO, trivially I ask
for a one block read CDB to fill a two block buffer.

P.S. A possibly relevant glance into the source is:

http://lxr.linux.no/search?v=2.6.5&string=underflow
search: SCSI
http://lxr.linux.no/source/drivers/scsi/sd.c?v=2.6.5#L374
...
static int sd_init_command(struct scsi_cmnd * SCpnt)
...
SCpnt->underflow = this_count << 9;
...
