This one's hard to understand :) I would add these comments:
/* get_subdir - find and take a reference of a given subdir
* - if no entry with the same name found, create one
* - set - the set in which to look for the subdir (after looking in
the parent dir's set)
* - dir - the parent dir. NOTE: before calling this function
* make sure to have a increased the count on the parent dir's nreg
* as this function will drop a reference!

Why do you only check the given @set after creating the new dir. Why
not the parent dir too?
