Hi Dan,
Thank you for the patch.

It's funny you send this patch today, I've been thinking about the exact
same issue yesterday, albeit more globally, when trying to figure out if
a function I called returned NULL or an error pointer on error.
Would it make to create an __err_ptr annotation to mark functions that
return an error pointer ? This would both give a simple indication to
the user and allow tools such as smatch to detect errors.
