Hi Donald,

I see two other places that extack is used in nfnetlink_rcv_batch().
Is it safe to leave them as-is?

There is a memset at the start of the main while loop that zeroes extack
for those two cases.

Thanks Donald,

I missed that.

I was wondering if it might be best to clear extack at the beginning of
the function. But if the loop needs to clear it on each iteration, then
I think your solution is good.
