Hi,

Thanks for fixing this!


Aside from one somewhat significant comment below this is all looks fine 
to me:

I think for maximum defense/spec compliance you need to validate the 
CACHE_TYPE_VALID flag before checking this. As its done in the next line 
too, it might be cleaner to consolidate the two checks.

nitpick: I think usually you want to indent/align multiple line argument 
comments so its clear your talking about the argument.

another nitpick: You might consider just making this "void" if the 
return value is always 0, and not checked later.

And as a final comment your free to ignore: It might reduce some patch 
churn to just add split_levels and leave the return behavior alone.
