This function calls helpers that can return nf-verdicts, but then those get converted to -1/0 as thats what the caller expects. Theoretically NF_DROP could have an errno number set in the upper 24 bits of the return value. Or any of those helpers could return NF_STOLEN, which would result in use-after-free. This is fine as-is, the called functions don't do this yet. But its better to avoid possible future problems if the upcoming patchset to add NF_DROP_REASON() support gains further users, so remove the 0/-1 translation from the picture and pass the verdicts down to the caller.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
