Didn't find a user of this.

Guenter ACKed this, but I'm wondering why we still need module parameters...

Besides extra parentheses and questionable ' < 0' part, the following
would look better I think

ret = ...
if (ret)
  return 0;

return val;

Similar story here:

ret = ...
if (ret)
  return ret;

wdd->... = ...
return 0;

What ' < 0' means? Do we have some positive return values?
Ditto for all your code.

Do you need atomic op here? Why?

No comma.
