Seems useful. Do we not have any users that can be converted?

Just return here.

if (!ret)
return 0;

... and remove all this.

Kill this function and move this to the 2 callers.

I think this intermediate function could be killed off too.

I'm having a hard time imagining a usecase for this one. I would drop
until we have a user in tree.

A bunch of these can be static inline wrappers.

You need EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL on these as well.
