With the multiplexed ndo_setup_tc() model which lacks a first-class struct netlink_ext_ack * argument, the only way to pass the netlink extended ACK message down to the device driver is to embed it within the offload structure. Do this for struct tc_mqprio_qopt_offload and struct tc_taprio_qopt_offload. Since struct tc_taprio_qopt_offload also contains a tc_mqprio_qopt_offload structure, and since device drivers might effectively reuse their mqprio implementation for the mqprio portion of taprio, we make taprio set the extack in both offload structures to point at the same netlink extack message. In fact, the taprio handling is a bit more tricky, for 2 reasons. First is because the offload structure has a longer lifetime than the extack structure. The driver is supposed to populate the extack synchronously from ndo_setup_tc() and leave it alone afterwards. To not have any use-after-free surprises, we zero out the extack pointer when we leave taprio_enable_offload(). The second reason is because taprio does overwrite the extack message on ndo_setup_tc() error. We need to switch to the weak form of setting an extack message, which preserves a potential message set by the driver.

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.
