The usual code pattern is to have

out:
	mutex_unlock(mutex)

	return ret;

add the end of the function and

	ret = retval;
	goto out;

on all exit paths. This way it's clearer to see that all locks (or other
resources) get properly unlocked and unref'ed. Can you please adjust your
patch accordingly?

Otherwise the patch looks good.

Thanks, Daniel
