Subject: [PATCH iproute2 v3] libgenl: make genl_add_mcast_grp set errno on error
Date: Mon, 17 May 2021 07:10:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210517051010.1355-1-fw@strlen.de> (raw)

genl_add_mcast_grp doesn't set errno in all cases.

On kernels that support mptcp but lack event support (all kernels <= 5.11)
MPTCP_PM_EV_GRP_NAME won't be found and ip will exit with

    "can't subscribe to mptcp events: Success"

Set errno to a meaningful value (ENOENT) when the group name isn't found
and also cover other spots where it returns nonzero with errno unset.

Fixes: ff619e4fd370 ("mptcp: add support for event monitoring")
Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>

 Change since v2: include errno.h
 Change since v1: fix libgenl instead of setting errno in the caller.
