Following feedback from users struggling to understand the implications of error messages like "failed (err=-28) to add object (id=2)", this update aims to clarify what operation failed and how this might impact the system or network. With this change, error messages now include a description of the failed operation, the specific object involved, and a brief explanation of the potential impact on the system. This approach helps administrators and developers better understand the context and severity of errors, facilitating quicker and more effective troubleshooting. Example of the improved logging: [ 70.516446] ksz-switch spi0.0 uplink: Failed to add Port Multicast Database entry (object id=2) with error: -ENOSPC (-28). [ 70.516446] Failure in updating the port's Multicast Database could lead to multicast forwarding issues. [ 70.516446] Current HW/SW setup lacks sufficient resources. This comprehensive update includes handling for a range of switchdev object IDs, ensuring that most operations within the switchdev framework benefit from clearer error reporting.
