Why are you setting the type if there is an error?

How is this no memory?
Shouldn't this not even get here if the allocation failed?

Is this really an invalid value sent to the ioctl?

Again, is this an invalid value passed to the ioctl?
Same for other places you are doing something and then returning this
error value, are you sure that is correct?
-EINVAL should be "the values you sent me was incorrect", not "something
bad happened based on what you gave me".
