Spacing is inconsistent here.  How about:

static struct nla_policy ifla_policy[IFLA_MAX + 1] = {
  [IFLA_IFNAME]   = { .type = NLA_STRING },
  [IFLA_LINK]     = { .type = NLA_U32 },
};

Is there a #define for this, to avoid a magic number?

Likewise.

Instead of using memset here, I would zero-initialize the array at its
declaration:

char nlmsgbuf[256] = { 0 };

I'm not sure whether gcc generates code any differently for the two styles.

Spacing: strlen(ifname) + 1

Given that you have only one non-default case, is this worth a switch,
or is it simpler to write as 'if (err->error)'?

When rebasing this patch, remember that these additions go in LIBADD,
not LDADD.

giving an ack.
