transfer_func variable passed to retry_transfer_wrapper
are h->prot->url_read and h->prot->url_write functions.
These need to return EOF or other error properly.
In case of returning >= 0, url_read/url_write is retried
until error is returned.

You need to apply the whole set. It passed all fate tests on my machine.

I applied the whole set and bisected to find which patch caused the
failure

also the i-th patch of a set must pass fate with it and the 0th to ith
patches applied, otherwise there would be checkouts that fail some tests

So should I reorder them and post again?

What if they don't pass fate in any order? should I post them as one patch?

If one patch introduces a problem that gets fixed by a subsequent patch
then yes, both should be squashed into one to make sure the problem is
never introduced.

The idea is that no patch/commit on its own should generate a fate
failure of any kind, as it would make bisecting unrelated future issues
harder.

Thank you for explaining.
I've sent squashed patch.

I think the changes in this series are mostly correct, but the fact they
cause failure if they are applied separately is a little worrying. There
is something subtly wrong going on here.

I think there is another instance of the problem hidden somewhere that
is causing more complication. I have been trying to find it, but not
yet. Still on it when I have time.
