I was writing a test for page pool which depended on qstats,
and got tired of having to filter dumps in user space.
Add support for dumping stats for a single netdev.

To get there we first need to add full support for extack
in dumps (and fix a dump error handling bug in YNL, sent
separately to the net tree).

Jakub Kicinski (4):
  netdev: support dumping a single netdev in qstats
  netlink: move extack writing helpers
  netlink: support all extack types in dumps
  selftests: drv-net: test dumping qstats per device

I wonder if NLM_F_DUMP_FILTERED should not be reported to user space ?

good point. We do set that flag for other dumps when a filter has been
used to limit data returned.

That flag appears to be a, hm, historic workaround?
If I was to guess what the motivation was I'd say that it's because
"old school netlink" didn't reject unknown attributes. And you wanted
to know whether the kernel did the filtering or you have to filter
again in user space? Am I close? :)

The flag is mostly used in the IP stack, I'd rather try to deprecate 
it than propagate it to new genetlink families which do full input
validation, rendering the flag 100% unnecessary.

close enough based on what I can recall.
