This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: sched: Clarify error message when qdisc kind is unknown to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-sched-clarify-error-message-when-qdisc-kind-is-u.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 37e2d10a85260b04210a8d811798c810cedecbd0 Author: Victor Nogueira <victor@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jan 18 14:19:09 2022 -0300 net: sched: Clarify error message when qdisc kind is unknown [ Upstream commit 973bf8fdd12f0e70ea351c018e68edd377a836d1 ] When adding a tc rule with a qdisc kind that is not supported or not compiled into the kernel, the kernel emits the following error: "Error: Specified qdisc not found.". Found via tdc testing when ETS qdisc was not compiled in and it was not obvious right away what the message meant without looking at the kernel code. Change the error message to be more explicit and say the qdisc kind is unknown. Signed-off-by: Victor Nogueira <victor@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
