Andy, can we have a checkpatch rule please?
Note, that will upset creative uses of error codes i guess, such as
fs/xfs/.

But yeah, +1 from me too.

Ob'post'mortem - looked for similar patterns in the kernel and there's
quite a few bugs there:

 include/net/inet_hashtables.h:                  return ENOMEM;         # bug
 drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_osm.c:             return ENOMEM;         # works 
but weird
 drivers/scsi/cxgb3i/cxgb3i_offload.c:           return ENOMEM;         # works 
but weird

I think cxgb3i is actually in the buggy category. cxgb3i_c3cn_send_pdus can propagate the positive EXYZ error value to other functions which assume that errors are negative.

Karen, I made the attached patch over James's scsi-rc-fixes tree while reviewing the code. Could you test, finish up and send upstream?
