ouch, so far I know extack it allows only one messages delivered back to the user space. If we introduce a warning in the successful path here, it could be that in the callpath (after "successful" part of this callback), that somebody else want to add a warning and overwrites actually your warning (even, he is not aware that this warning was set - okay I suppose you can do another check on NULL and set a warning, that somebody overwrites a warning :-D). If extack messages get's append and is some kind of for_each_nested string in netlink -> we have no problem, but I guess this not how it's working. :-/ - Alex
