No, just no. You do not use goto to skip a code block. You do not
return an obvious variable from a singly-inlined function and give
the function a return value. You don't put unexplained comments
about kmalloc in code which doesn't do dynamic allocation. And
you don't leave stray warnings around for no good reason.

Also, when possible, it is better to use block scoped variables
because gcc can sometime generate better code.
