Passing value in IS_ERR_VALUE() is wrong, as they pass an 'int' into a function that takes an 'unsigned long' argument. This happens to work because the type is sign-extended on 64-bit architectures before it gets converted into an unsigned type.
Passing an 'unsigned short' or 'unsigned int' argument into IS_ERR_VALUE() is guaranteed to be broken, as are 8-bit integers and types that are wider than 'unsigned long'. Any user will get compilation warning for that do not pass an 'unsigned long' argument. Commit '287980e49f; - This change is alreday fixes lots of other worst abusers.
