Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/2] net: ipv6: seg6: report lwtunnel setup errors via extack
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 17:35:15 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918153544.1178884-2-g.goller@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260918153544.1178884-1-g.goller@proxmox.com>

seg6_build_state() rejected invalid configurations with a generic
-EINVAL, so "ip route add ... encap seg6 ..." always reported "Invalid
argument".

Attach an extack message to each of them. The checks themselves and
their return values are unchanged.
