[PATCH net-next 1/2] vxlan: change vxlan_validate() to use netlink_ext_ack for error reporting
From: Matthias Schiffer
Date: Tue Jun 27 2017 - 16:50:10 EST
The kernel log is not where users expect error messages for netlink
requests; as we have extended acks now, we can replace pr_debug() with
NL_SET_ERR_MSG_ATTR().
While we're at it, also fix the !is_valid_ether_addr() error message (as it
not only rejects the all-zero address, but also multicast addresses), and
add messages for the remaining attributes.
