[PATCH net-next 6/8] net: core: dev: Add call_netdevice_notifiers_extack()

Wed Dec 5 10:51:56 UTC 2018


In order to propagate extack through NETDEV_PRE_UP, add a new function
call_netdevice_notifiers_extack() that primes the extack field of the
notifier info. Convert call_netdevice_notifiers() to a simple wrapper
around the new function that passes NULL for extack.
