Some comments from coding-style-police...

I'd prefer unsigned int here.

Quite unusual indentiation style w.r.t. pointers...

Can we do if (ni || !alloc) return ni, and avoid gotos inside of
block?

Too long lines, and rgetting rid of outer if should be really easy.

Too long lines.

Can we get commented code removed?

Here too? Is the fixme still applicable?

} else { on one line, please.

Could we just return 0 here?

And here?

Tabs vs spaces?

I seriously think you are overdoing the gotos.

Could we just return -1 directly? Should it follow 0/-errno convention
other functions here use? Can we get rid of TRUE/FALSE macros?

Uhuh.

One statement?

kzalloc?
