Egads!  You are correct.

My intention was to preserve the value of "err" if an unsuccessful
value was returned by skb_padto(), and otherwise to return "-1" which
seemed the popular value used for errors elsewhere in the code.

 - Would the expression "err ? err : -1" have served me better?
 - Do error codes mean anything here, or should I simply say "return -1"?
