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.
