The current code bails out with negative and positive returns. If the callback returns a positive return code, 'ring_buffer__consume()' and 'ring_buffer__poll()' will return a spurious number of records consumed, but mostly important will continue the processing loop. This patch makes positive returns from the callback a no-op.
