This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net/mlx5: Return EOPNOTSUPP when failing to get steering name-space to the 4.9-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-mlx5-return-eopnotsupp-when-failing-to-get-steering-name-space.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Thu Jun 15 14:38:52 CEST 2017 From: Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2017 13:04:01 +0200 Subject: net/mlx5: Return EOPNOTSUPP when failing to get steering name-space From: Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit eff596da48784316ccb83bef82bc1213b512d5e0 ] When we fail to retrieve a hardware steering name-space, the returned error code should say that this operation is not supported. Align the various places in the driver where this call is made to this convention. Also, make sure to warn when we fail to retrieve a SW (ANCHOR) name-space.
