When the a large chunk of data send and the receiver does not send a Flow Control frame back in time, the sendmsg() does not return a error code, but the number of bytes sent corresponding to the size of the packet. If a timeout occurs the isotp_tx_timer_handler() is fired, sets sk->sk_err and calls the sk->sk_error_report() function. It was wrongly expected that the error would be propagated to user space in every case. For isotp_sendmsg() blocking on wait_event_interruptible() this is not the case. This patch fixes the problem by checking if sk->sk_err is set and returning the error to user space.
