I wanted to follow up on the patch I submitted. I was wondering if you 
had a chance to review it and if there are any comments or feedback.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response.

Best regards,

This doesn't make sense to me.  I don't see how we get to hfs_iget()
with an uninit "rec".

        hfs_cat_rec rec;
...
        res = hfs_brec_read(&fd, &rec, sizeof(rec));
        if (res) {
...
        } else {
                inode = hfs_iget(dir->i_sb, &fd.search_key->cat, &rec);

Unless there's a path in hfs_brec_read() which returns 'success' while
not actually filling in all of 'rec', in which case that's the bug which
needs to be fixed.
