Yes, weird.  The code only uses the early parts of the filehandle, so we
only need to complain if the fh_len is less than FILEID_NILFS_WITHOUT_PARENT.

So I'd prefer:

@@ -496,8 +496,7 @@ static struct dentry *nilfs_fh_to_dentry(struct super_block *sb, struct fid *fh,
 {
        struct nilfs_fid *fid = (struct nilfs_fid *)fh;
 
-       if ((fh_len != NILFS_FID_SIZE_NON_CONNECTABLE &&
-            fh_len != NILFS_FID_SIZE_CONNECTABLE) ||
+       if (fh_len < NILFS_FID_SIZE_NON_CONNECTABLE ||
            (fh_type != FILEID_NILFS_WITH_PARENT &&
             fh_type != FILEID_NILFS_WITHOUT_PARENT))
                return NULL;


Would you be OK with that?  If so I'll resend.

Thanks,
