Perhaps add a comment here like:

	/*
	 * We have to check for this corruption early as otherwise
	 * iget_locked() could wait indefinitely for the state of our
	 * parent inode.
	 */

			^^ I prefer -EFSCORRUPTED here. It is the same
value but more descriptive name :).

> +		goto error;
		^^ Just "return err" here. This will try to iput()
uninitialized pointer.
