Merge branch 'netlink-formatted-extacks'
Edward Cree says: ==================== netlink: formatted extacks Currently, netlink extacks can only carry fixed string messages, which is limiting when reporting failures in complex systems. This series adds the ability to return printf-formatted messages, and uses it in the sfc driver's TC offload code. Formatted extack messages are limited in length to a fixed buffer size, currently 80 characters. If the message exceeds this, the full message will be logged (ratelimited) to the console and a truncated version returned over netlink. There is no change to the netlink uAPI; only internal kernel changes are needed. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/cover.1666102698.git.ecree.xilinx@gmail.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
