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.
