I will remove this.

I will fix it.

I will fix it.

OK.

The error code is between 1 and 5 inclusive.  I thought if it is 0, then
err_idx would become max_idx here.  I can change it to:

if (error_code == 0)
	error_code = max_idx;

Or, add some comments for this case.

I will fix it.

Yes, kernel protection will be enabled later.
