From 3364d61c92ecca7a8da990659c4b0ae1fcf0fcfb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Parthasarathy Bhuvaragan Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2017 15:00:42 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] tipc: fix socket flow control accounting error at tipc_send_stream Until now in tipc_send_stream(), we return -1 when the socket encounters link congestion even if the socket had successfully sent partial data. This is incorrect as the application resends the same the partial data leading to data corruption at receiver's end. In this commit, we return the partially sent bytes as the return value at link congestion.
