Subject: [PATCH bpf-next] bpf: Pass extack to bpf_xdp_link_attach
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 23:24:55 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261021152455.71524-1-leon.hwang@linux.dev> (raw)

In order to drop the dependency of bpf_verifier.h in net/core/dev.c, pass
extack to bpf_xdp_link_attach() in link_create(). Afterwards, transfer
the error message from extack to log buffer in link_create().

Drop the stub bpf_log(), because it is not used in net/core/dev.c
anymore when CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL is not set.

Signed-off-by: Leon Hwang <leon.hwang@linux.dev>

Address Jakub's review in the series
"bpf: Add syscall common attrs support for xdp link_create" [1].
