I guess we should document that NLMSG_ERROR and err->error == 0 is a valid case and no error. How about:

/**
 * virNetlinkTalk:
 * @ifname: name of the link
 * @nl_msg: pointer to netlink message
 * @src_pid: pid used for nl_pid of the local end of the netlink message
 *           (0 == "use getpid()")
 * @dst_pid: pid of destination nl_pid if the kernel
 *           is not the target of the netlink message but it is to be
 *           sent to another process (0 if sending to the kernel)
 * @resp: pointer to pointer where response buffer will be allocated
 * @resp_len: pointer to integer holding the size of the response buffer
 *            on return of the function
 * @error: pointer to store netlink error (-errno)
 * @fallback: pointer to an alternate function that will be called in case
 *            netlink fails with EOPNOTSUPP (any other error will simply be
 *            treated as an error)
 *
 * Simple wrapper around virNetlinkCommand(). The returned netlink message
* is allocated at @resp. Please note that according to netlink(7) man page,
 * reply with type of NLMSG_ERROR and @error == 0 is an acknowledgment and
 * thus not an error.
 *
 * Returns: 0 on success,
 *         -1 otherwise (error reported if @error == NULL)

+            if (error)

So this sets @error to a negative number. [1]

1: and here it is used as if it was positive. We need -error. And in the rest of places too.

Anyway, I can fix that before pushing, so that you don't have to send another version. Do you agree if this is squashed in?
