Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: vrf: Add extack messages for newlink failures
Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2017 10:08:10 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1502125690-2212-1-git-send-email-dsahern@gmail.com> (raw)
Add extack error messages for failure paths creating vrf devices. Once
extack support is added to iproute2, we go from the unhelpful:
$ ip li add foobar type vrf
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
to:
$ ip li add foobar type vrf
Error: VRF table id is missing
