From 40c900aa1ff580afe941ff77f327f004546f0ce7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petr Machata Date: Thu, 6 Dec 2018 17:05:47 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: core: dev: Attach extack to NETDEV_PRE_UP Drivers may need to validate configuration of a device that's about to be upped. Should the validation fail, there's currently no way to communicate details of the failure to the user, beyond an error number. To mend that, change __dev_open() to take an extack argument and pass it from __dev_change_flags() and dev_open(), where it was propagated in the previous patches. Change __dev_open() to call call_netdevice_notifiers_extack() so that the passed-in extack is attached to the NETDEV_PRE_UP notifier.
