X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b70ba69ef1f72e58c8e43b5689a37a66a7b31d11;p=linux.git

net: sched: report ndo_setup_tc failures via extack

Help end-users of the 'tc' command to see if the drivers ndo_setup_tc
function call fails. Troubleshooting when this happens is non-trivial
(see full process here[1]), and results in net_device getting assigned
the 'qdisc noop', which will drop all TX packets on the interface.
