OK. Then, just cleanup code, and let's use strict checking version.

Removing strange fallthrou, something like the following.

static struct dentry *fat_fh_to_dentry_nostale(struct super_block *sb,
					       struct fid *fh, int fh_len,
					       int fh_type)
{
	struct inode *inode = NULL;
	struct fat_fid *fid = (struct fat_fid *)fh;
	loff_t i_pos;

	switch (fh_type) {
	case FILEID_FAT_WITHOUT_PARENT:
		if (fh_len < FAT_FID_SIZE_WITHOUT_PARENT)
			return NULL;
		break;
	case FILEID_FAT_WITH_PARENT:
		if (fh_len < FAT_FID_SIZE_WITH_PARENT)
			return NULL;
		break;
	default:
		return NULL;
	}

	i_pos = fid->i_pos_hi;
	i_pos = (i_pos << 32) | (fid->i_pos_low);
	inode = __fat_nfs_get_inode(sb, 0, fid->i_gen, i_pos);

	return d_obtain_alias(inode);
}
