We communicate the type of the missing attribute and if it was missing inside a nest the offset of that nest. Example of (YAML-based) user space reporting ethtool header missing: Kernel error: missing attribute: .header I was tempted to integrate the check with the policy but it seems tricky without doing a full scan, and there may be a ton of attrs in the policy. So leaving that for later. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220826030935.2165661-1-kuba@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni --- 11bc150daa5f3e6428a0bb632705eb697e2969c0
