PTR_ERR() returns a signed long type value which is limited by IS_ERR(), it must be a negative number whose range is [-MAX_ERRNO, 0). The bug here returns negative numbers as error codes, then check it by "if (ret < 0)", but -PTR_ERR() is actually positive. The wrong use here leads to failure as below, even panic.
