PTR_ERR() already returns a negative.

Again.  All the uses of PTR_ERR() in this patch have the same problem.

kmalloc() returns NULL on error and not an ERR_PTR.  All the calls to
kmalloc() have this problem.

The comment assume there is only one reader and one writer at a time,
yes?  The casting is not needed:

			ret = kfifo_out(&ud->recv_queue,
					vec[0].iov_base + total, next);

I think a return of zero should mean total = -EBADMSG;.  In other words
this check should be "if (ret < 0) {" and we hit the next else if.
Same below again.
