Subject: [PATCH 2/3] tap: More detailed error reporting in tap_ns_tun()
Date: Wed,  2 Aug 2023 13:15:41 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230802031542.2726758-3-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230802031542.2726758-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>

There are several possible failure points in tap_ns_tun(), but if anything
goes wrong, we just set tun_ns_fd to -1 resulting in the same error
message.

Add more detailed error reporting to the various failure points.  At the
same time, we know this is only called from tap_sock_tun_init() which will
terminate pasta if we fail, so we can simplify things a little because we
don't need to close() the fd on the failure paths.
