To fix that, please set path = NULL after the first btrfs_free_path, it can handle a NULL when it's called again. Next thing I'm not sure about are the ACLs that get initialized in some cases. There's cache_no_acl() that only resets the inode::i_acl and inode::i_default_acl, so I think this should be called too. Thanks.
