      net: sendmmsg should only return an error if no messages were sent · 728ffb86
      Anton Blanchard authored
      sendmmsg uses a similar error return strategy as recvmmsg but it
      turns out to be a confusing way to communicate errors.
      
      The current code stores the error code away and returns it on the next
      sendmmsg call. This means a call with completely valid arguments could
      get an error from a previous call.
      
      Change things so we only return an error if no datagrams could be sent.
      If less than the requested number of messages were sent, the application
      must retry starting at the first failed one and if the problem is
      persistent the error will be returned.
      
      This matches the behaviour of other syscalls like read/write - it
      is not an error if less than the requested number of elements are sent.
