Subject: [RFC 2/5] netlink: set extack error message in nla_validate()
Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2018 15:12:09 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180918131212.20266-2-johannes@sipsolutions.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180918131212.20266-1-johannes@sipsolutions.net>
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
In nla_parse() we already set this, but it makes sense to
also do it in nla_validate() which already also sets the
bad attribute pointer.
