The code might be more self-explanatory if we wrote:

		if (cache_defer_req(rqstp, h) == -ETIMEDOUT) {

Well, at least it would be obvious we're handling the "failure" case?
(Even if admittedly it's a "failure" that we may be able to handle).

It always takes me a little thought whenever I encounter a
boolean-returning function whose name doesn't have an obvious truth
value (list_empty, cache_is_valid).

No complaints otherwise.
