We will report extack message if there is an error via netlink_ack(). But
if the rule is not to be exclusively executed by the hardware, extack is not
passed along and offloading failures don't get logged.
In commit 81c7288b170a ("sched: cls: enable verbose logging") Marcelo
made cls could log verbose info for offloading failures, which helps
improving Open vSwitch debuggability when using flower offloading.
It would also be helpful if userspace monitor tools, like "tc monitor",
could log this kind of message, as it doesn't require vswitchd log level
adjusment. Let's add a new tc attributes to report the extack message so
the monitor program could receive the failures. e.g.
# tc monitor
added chain dev enp3s0f1np1 parent ffff: chain 0
added filter dev enp3s0f1np1 ingress protocol all pref 49152 flower chain 0 handle 0x1
ct_state +trk+new
not_in_hw
action order 1: gact action drop
random type none pass val 0
index 1 ref 1 bind 1
Warning: mlx5_core: matching on ct_state +new isn't supported.
In this patch I only report the extack message on add/del operations.
It doesn't look like we need to report the extack message on get/dump
operations.
Note this message not only reporte to multicast groups, it could also
be reported unicast, which may affect the current usersapce tool's behaivor.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
