cmdnr isn't there anymore.

You need to unlock the mutex in the error case, too.

Also the -1 looks suspicious to me. When interpreted as -errno it would
be -EPERM on most (or even all) architectures.  (according to
include/asm-generic/errno-base.h)

This comment looks a little misplaced now.

Did you leave this fading in for testing?
