Given an invalid 'rate' command e.g. 'rate 0' the return value is '1', leading to the following misleading output:
- the good case
$ echo "rate 100" > /proc/net/pktgen/lo@0 $ grep "Result:" /proc/net/pktgen/lo@0 Result: OK: rate=100
- the bad case (before the patch)
$ echo "rate 0" > /proc/net/pktgen/lo@0" -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument $ grep "Result:" /proc/net/pktgen/lo@0 Result: No such parameter "ate"
- with patch applied
$ echo "rate 0" > /proc/net/pktgen/lo@0 -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument $ grep "Result:" /proc/net/pktgen/lo@0 Result: Idle
