[PATCH net-next 07/12] net/sched: mqprio: add extack to mqprio_parse_nlattr()

From: Vladimir Oltean
Date: Thu Feb 16 2023 - 18:22:32 EST


Netlink attribute parsing in mqprio is a minesweeper game, with many
options having the possibility of being passed incorrectly and the user
being none the wiser.

Try to make errors less sour by giving user space some information
regarding what went wrong.
