So, I kinda dislike it. That's a lot of code to cover with one "ret =
-EINVAL" assignment which makes it pretty easy to make a mistake. People use
variables like i, ret, err without thinking much and it doesn't help that
you now can't tell whether a given exit condition is error or not by just
looking at it.
I don't know what great extra insight the return value from match_u64()
would carry (like, what else is it gonna say? and even if it does why does
that matter when we say -EINVAL to pretty much everything else) so I'm not
sure this matters but if you really want it just add a separate error return
label?
Thanks.
