Since qede_parse_flow_attr() now does error reporting through extack, then give it a fake extack and extract the error message afterwards if one was set. The extracted error message is then passed on through DP_NOTICE(), including messages that was earlier issued with DP_INFO(). This fake extack approach is already used by mlxsw_env_linecard_modules_power_mode_apply() in drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/core_env.c Only compile tested. Signed-off-by: Asbjørn Sloth Tønnesen <ast@fiberby.net> --- Note: Even through _msg is marked in include/linux/netlink.h as "don't access directly, use NL_SET_ERR_MSG", then the comment above NL_SET_ERR_MSG, seams to indicate that it should be fine to access it directly if for reading, as is done other places. I could also add a NL_GET_ERR_MSG but I would rather not do that in this series. drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qede/qede_filter.c | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
