Perhaps that is not a given. I'm guessing that ->disable() can not fail.

negative is usually unsuccessful. 1 and 0 can be anything we really
choose it to be. But should be commented at the top for clarification.

As for now, disable can not fail. But OK to return a status in that
case that changes in the future.

Both rv_enable_monitor() and rv_disable_monitor() return either 0 on
success or negative on failure. Do not confuse the internal callers
(that start with "__") as the return values of these.
User space will only see 0 or negative.

Yes, the enable callbacks should return negative on error.

Probably want this to be "retval = 0;"

And this to be "retval |= "
where rv_attach_trace_probe() returns 0 on success and something else on error.

Well, the above is not true. If any "succeed" and return zero, with the
"&=" it will be zero if only one succeeds and then rest fail. That's
why you want the "|=" and set the flag on error.
We could change the macro to:
#define rv_attach_trace_probe(monitor, tp, rv_handler) \
({ \
check_trace_callback_type_##tp(rv_handler); \
WARN_ONCE(register_trace_##tp(rv_handler, NULL), \
"fail attaching " #monitor " " #tp "handler"); \
})
Where the macro returns the result of the WARN_ONCE() which is zero on
success (no warning) and non-zero otherwise.

Correct. Because strlen() does not include the nul byte.
