From 3a37a9636cf3a1af2621a33f7eef8a2a3da81030 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petr Machata Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2018 11:54:30 +0000 Subject: net: dev: Add extack argument to dev_set_mac_address() A follow-up patch will add a notifier type NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR, which allows vetoing of MAC address changes. One prominent path to that notification is through dev_set_mac_address(). Therefore give this function an extack argument, so that it can be packed together with the notification. Thus a textual reason for rejection (or a warning) can be communicated back to the user. Signed-off-by: Petr Machata Acked-by: Jiri Pirko Reviewed-by: Ido Schimmel Signed-off-by: David S.
