Add descriptive(extack) error messages for all error paths in state migration. This improves diagnostics by providing clear feedback when migration fails. After xfrm_init_state() use NL_SET_ERR_MSG_WEAK() as fallback for error paths not yet propagating extack e.g. mode_cbs->init_state() No functional change. Signed-off-by: Antony Antony <redacted> --- v5->v6: - in case dev_state_add() extack already set - after xfrm_init_state() use NL_SET_ERR_MSG_WEAK() as fallback v4->v5: - added this patch --- net/xfrm/xfrm_state.c | 9 +++++++-- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
