The fix looks good to me. There has been talk recently of starting to
fix up our internal positive-to-negative error conversions to be more
consistent with the rest of the kernel. Given that, I wonder if it's
better here to go the other way. E.g., remove the negation in the
out_dput path and convert the positive error codes (and thus we don't
need to add more negative-to-positive-to-negative conversions here).
Thoughts?
