From 12b6f7069ba5aa160f3332916408b34ae8e0b0f6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Dichtel Date: Fri, 28 Feb 2025 11:20:58 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] net: plumb extack in __dev_change_net_namespace() It could be hard to understand why the netlink command fails. For example, if dev->netns_immutable is set, the error is "Invalid argument".
