We run into an exhaustion problem with the kernel-allocated filter IDs. Our allocation problem can be fixed on the user space side, but the error message in this case was quite misleading: "Filter with specified priority/protocol not found" (EINVAL) Specifically when we can't allocate a _new_ ID because filter with lowest ID already _exists_, saying "filter not found", is confusing. Kernel allocates IDs in range of 0xc0000 -> 0x8000, giving out ID one lower than lowest existing in that range. The error message makes sense when tcf_chain_tp_find() gets called for GET and DEL but for NEW we need to provide more specific error messages for all three cases: - user wants the ID to be auto-allocated but filter with ID 0x8000 already exists - filter already exists and can be replaced, but user asked for a protocol change - filter doesn't exist Caller of tcf_chain_tp_insert_unique() doesn't set extack today, so don't bother plumbing it in.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
