net/sched: mqprio: add an extack message to mqprio_parse_opt()
Ferenc reports that a combination of poor iproute2 defaults and obscure cases where the kernel returns -EINVAL make it difficult to understand what is wrong with this command: $ ip link add veth0 numtxqueues 8 numrxqueues 8 type veth peer name veth1 $ tc qdisc add dev veth0 root mqprio num_tc 8 map 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 \ queues 1@0 1@1 1@2 1@3 1@4 1@5 1@6 1@7 RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument Hopefully with this patch, the cause is clearer: Error: Device does not support hardware offload. The kernel was (and still is) rejecting this because iproute2 defaults to "hw 1" if this command line option is not specified.
