hmm small nit (take it or leave it) but I think it would be more
correct if this was
if (ret == NOTIFY_BAD)
goto rollback_lower_mesh;
It seems that NOTIFY_DONE, NOTIFY_OK and NOTIFY_STOP_MASK would be
valid return codes that don't indicate an error. However seeing I
couldn't find any cases of NOTIFY_OK/NOTIFY_STOP_MASK from the
CHANGEUPPER event it doesn't matter in practice.
