My only issues is with the "__ret" name.
It's not really unique enough. If something else uses __ret and does
printk_ratelimit("some fmt string %d\n", __ret);
This will not print the right value.
printk_ratelimit can be used almost anywhere thus using a really unique
value may be worth while here.
What about:
int ______r
?
