As far as I see from the err variable initialization the dn_nl_deladdr() routine was designed to report errors like "EADDRNOTAVAIL" and probaby "ENODEV". But the code sets this err to 0 after the first nlmsg_parse and goes on, returning this 0 in any case. Is this made deliberately, or the patch below is correct?
The patch looks good to me.
