Sorry, I apparently overdid it in refactoring ;)

Sure, I will choose shorter names.

It seems like I wrongly interpreted you words about "magic array of size 2"
>>The design would be clearer if there were two arguments rather than magic array of size 2.
If I understand you correctly, you wanted to say that it's not fully convenient to read and
see "magic" initializator { 0, 0, 0, 0 } or similar. (why four zeroes? why not 3 or 1?)
So, I've decided to make macro for this initializer like we have macros for linked lists
initializators in kernel, for instance. Another reason is that If someone need to skip more than
3 errors, he can change initializer size and helper function rtnl_suppress_error() will
take new size into account.

What I want to implement:
1. Possibility to skip several errors in rtnl_dump_filter
2. Not use malloc for allocation of "errors" array (because array is really small and
malloc needs free, so it's easier to make errors with memleak in the future)
3. I'm trying not to change original function rtnl_dump_filter() signature because
it's used in other places and that's a stable API.
4. We want to allow programmer to dynamically add skipped errors. It means that
user not specifying array of skipped errors directly like { ENOENT, ENOSUPP, 0 }, but
can write something like:
if (ignore_old_kernel_errors)
    rtnl_suppress_error(errors, ENOSUPP)
if (some_another_reason)
    rtnl_suppress_error(errors, ENOENT)


Maybe some of my points not valid for us and I can throw it?

Thank you for review! ;)
