Subject: [PATCH 6/7] netfilter: nf_tables: extended netlink error reporting for expressions

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 2 Aug 2020 20:31:47 +0200

This patch extends 36dd1bcc07e5 ("netfilter: nf_tables: initial support
for extended ACK reporting") to include netlink extended error reporting
for expressions. This allows userspace to identify what rule expression
is triggering the error.
