The original code saved the error value but just returned 0 in the end.

Looks reasonable and harmless. 
If you have time - can you try this one test with your patch and see if
any strange message shows up when you delete? add a policy on window1,
on window2 run ip xfrm mon and then back on window1 delete it and watch
the event on window2

----
window2: ip xfrm mon

window1, add:
ip xfrm policy add src 172.16.2.0/24 dst 172.16.1.0/24 \
        dir fwd ptype main \
        tmpl src 192.168.2.100 dst 192.168.1.100 \
        proto esp mode tunnel


window1, delete:
ip xfrm pol del src 172.16.2.0/24 dst 172.16.1.0/24 dir fwd
----

cheers,
jamal

Sure.  I tried that and it looks OK.  

The truth is that I don't understand this code very well.  I'm just writing
patches based on static analysis.  Here is the output from window1:

$ sudo ip xfrm mon
src 172.16.2.0/24 dst 172.16.1.0/24 
	dir fwd priority 0 
	tmpl src 192.168.2.100 dst 192.168.1.100
		proto esp reqid 0 mode tunnel
Deleted src 172.16.2.0/24 dst 172.16.1.0/24 
	dir fwd priority 0 
	tmpl src 192.168.2.100 dst 192.168.1.100
		proto esp reqid 0 mode tunnel

There aren't any messages in dmesg either.

regards,
dan carpenter

I am really sorry - your patch is pfkey path and the example i gave you
is xfrm based;-< I worry too much, so never mind - the change seems
harmless enough:
