Subject: [PATCH net-next v5 3/5] net/sched: netem: replace pr_info with netlink extack error messages
Date: Sat,  9 May 2026 10:03:24 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260509171123.307549-4-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260509171123.307549-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>

Use netlink extack to report errors instead of sending them
to the kernel log with pr_info(). The error message can them be seen
with tc commands; and avoids log spam.
