Subject: [PATCH][DECNET] dn_nl_deladdr() almost always returns no error
Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2007 19:29:20 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <474EE8E0.3050107@openvz.org> (raw)

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?
