[PATCH net 3/5] selftests: mptcp: join: mark tests with data corruption as failed
From: Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)
Date: Tue Jul 28 2026 - 13:59:04 EST
From: Gang Yan <yangang@xxxxxxxxxx>
check_transfer() compares the input and output files byte-by-byte using
`cmp -l "$in" "$out" | while read ...`. Because the while-loop body runs
in a subshell (the script sets neither lastpipe nor pipefail), the
fail_test call inside it -- which sets the global ret/last_test_failed --
and the `return 1` both act on the subshell, not on check_transfer().
check_transfer() thus always falls through to `return 0`, and any data
corruption affecting only the payload (leaving the subflow/PM counters
untouched) is silently reported as PASS.
Fixes: 8117dac3e7c3 ("selftests: mptcp: add invert check in check_transfer")
