un-, de-, -free, -destroy, -exit, etc functions should in general
return void. Also,
There is very little, say, filesystem driver code can do upon failed
kmem_cache_destroy(). If it will be decided to BUG in this case, BUG
should be put in generic code, instead.

Shouldn't this return, as otherwise there is a significant change in the
code path followed.

It should. :-\

[PATCH 2/2] Make kmem_cache_destroy() return void
un-, de-, -free, -destroy, -exit, etc functions should in general
return void. Also,
There is very little, say, filesystem driver code can do upon failed
kmem_cache_destroy(). If it will be decided to BUG in this case, BUG
should be put in generic code, instead.
