This reverts commit 6f2a0198e913c91a2ef8b99db79b7d3cc5396957. This commit removed error reporting from virNetDevSendEthtoolIoctl pushing responsibility onto the callers. This is wrong, however, since virNetDevSendEthtoolIoctl calls virNetDevSetupControl which can still report errors. So as a result virNetDevSendEthtoolIoctl may or may not report errors depending on which bit of it fails, and as a result callers now overwrite some errors. It also introduced a regression causing unprivileged libvirtd to spew error messages to the console due to inability to query the NIC features, an error which was previously ignored. virNetDevSetupControlFull:148 : Cannot open network interface control socket: Operation not permitted virNetDevFeatureAvailable:3062 : Cannot get device wlp3s0 flags: Operation not permitted virNetDevSetupControlFull:148 : Cannot open network interface control socket: Operation not permitted virNetDevFeatureAvailable:3062 : Cannot get device wlp3s0 flags: Operation not permitted virNetDevSetupControlFull:148 : Cannot open network interface control socket: Operation not permitted virNetDevFeatureAvailable:3062 : Cannot get device wlp3s0 flags: Operation not permitted virNetDevSetupControlFull:148 : Cannot open network interface control socket: Operation not permitted virNetDevFeatureAvailable:3062 : Cannot get device wlp3s0 flags: Operation not permitted Looking back at the original posting I see no explanation of why thsi refactoring was needed, so reverting the clearly broken error reporting logic looks like the best option.
