Something is missing here...

Please, double check that the style of Return section is the same as for the
rest of the functions in this file. If there are different styles choose one
which is simultaneously more recent and has more common sense in it (like
Returns: vs. Return, the preferred is the latter).

Yeah, besides missing style comment above, the function is undescribed. You
really need to add something meaningful in the kernel-doc and esp. explain
corner cases like this and choices made (why we fail it, what's wrong with 0?).
