NL_SET_ERR_MSG and NL_SET_ERR_MSG_MOD are used to report extended error
responses about failure of a netlink command. These strings often end up
going over the 80-column limit. Just like logging messages, it is
preferred to leave the message all on a single line.
Add these to the exception list so that checkpatch.pl will no longer
complain about the long lines due to use of these macros.

What about GENL_SET_ERR_MSG ?
btw:
There are some uses with what appear to be unnecessary newlines.
Maybe these newlines should be removed.

"Only one policer per port is supported\n");

This appears in far fewer locations, but it does seem reasonable to add
it to this list as well.

Yea, there's a number of places which seem to have put a newline break
after the extack pointer.
A quick search shows that there are about 970 or so uses where we don't
put a newline, and around 220 where we do.
I suppose I can make a series that cleans all of those up along with
this patch.
Thanks,
Jake

That's not what I meant.
I don't care if there are multiple source lines used.
In fact, I think it's mostly nicer with multiple lines.
The ones I specified previously use:
NL_SET_ERR_MSG_MOD(extack, "message\n");
where all the others uses are:
NL_SET_ERR_MSG_MOD(extack, "message");
without the \n termination of the message.

Ah. Sure. I just noticed that one was more common than the other.

I see. Yea, I think the trailing newline isn't needed, but I'm not sure.

Yup, there should be no new line at the end of an extack message.
