you don't want to set extack here; it should be set in nla_parse_nested
since it is passed as an arg.

"stab base" is the name of the netlink attribute, but it does not
describe *what* is missing. The key here is returning a message that
tells an average user what they did wrong.

ditto here.

Looking at the code for the tc command, stab appears to be table size;
perhaps a tc author can elaborate on what STAB really means.

ENOMEM does not need a text message. Which memory allocation failed is
not really relevant.

netdev is a kernel term. 'device' is in the tc man page so a relevant
term for the message.


I think the above gives you an idea. Apply those comments to the rest of
this patch and the next ones.
