Hi, this is a deliberate design. The cache_size field of copen is
specified by the user daemon. If cache_size < 0, then the OPEN request
is expected to fail, while copen itself shall succeed.

Fix to return a negative error code.

However, it is indeed unexpected when cache_size is an invalid error
code. How about:

if (!IS_ERR_VALUE(size))
- size= -EINVAL;
+ ret = size = -EINVAL;
req->error = size;
goto out;
}

OK, I will send a v2 patch.

Thanks,
Sun Ke
