Subject: [PATCH] net: ipv4: Add extack messages for route add failures
Patch-mainline: v4.13-rc1
Git-commit: c3ab2b4ec8f7c0700bf10957171c479bf3dbca52 (partial)
References: bsc#1152107 CVE-2019-16746
Add messages for non-obvious errors (e.g, no need to add text for malloc
failures or ENODEV failures). This mostly covers the annoying EINVAL errors
Some message strings violate the 80-columns but searchable strings need to
trump that rule.
