We already have all declarations in hfs.h:

/* Some special File ID numbers */
#define HFS_POR_CNID		1	/* Parent Of the Root */
#define HFS_ROOT_CNID		2	/* ROOT directory */
#define HFS_EXT_CNID		3	/* EXTents B-tree */
#define HFS_CAT_CNID		4	/* CATalog B-tree */
#define HFS_BAD_CNID		5	/* BAD blocks file */
#define HFS_ALLOC_CNID		6	/* ALLOCation file (HFS+) */
#define HFS_START_CNID		7	/* STARTup file (HFS+) */
#define HFS_ATTR_CNID		8	/* ATTRibutes file (HFS+) */
#define HFS_EXCH_CNID		15	/* ExchangeFiles temp id */
#define HFS_FIRSTUSER_CNID	16

So, adding the link here doesn't make any sense.

I don't see any sense to introduce flags here. First of all, please, don't use
hardcoded values but you should use declared constants from hfs.h (for example,
HFS_EXT_CNID instead of 3). Secondly, you can simply compare the i_ino with
constants, for example:

bool is_inode_id_invalid(u64 ino) {
      switch (inode->i_ino) {
      case HFS_EXT_CNID:
      ...
          return true;

      }

      return false;
}

Thirdly, you can introduce an inline function that can do such check. And it
make sense to introduce constant for the case of zero value.

Why have you missed HFS_EXT_CNID, HFS_CAT_CNID? These values cannot used in
hfs_read_inode().

It looks pretty complicated. You can simply use one above-mentioned function
with the check:

if (is_inode_id_invalid(be32_to_cpu(rec->dir.DirID)))
     <goto to make bad inode>

We can simply check the the inode ID in the beginning of the whole action:

<Make the check here>
		inode->i_ino = be32_to_cpu(rec->file.FlNum);
		inode->i_mode = S_IRUGO | S_IXUGO;
		if (!(rec->file.Flags & HFS_FIL_LOCK))
			inode->i_mode |= S_IWUGO;
		inode->i_mode &= ~hsb->s_file_umask;
		inode->i_mode |= S_IFREG;
		inode_set_mtime_to_ts(inode,
				      inode_set_atime_to_ts(inode,
inode_set_ctime_to_ts(inode, hfs_m_to_utime(rec->file.MdDat))));
		inode->i_op = &hfs_file_inode_operations;
		inode->i_fop = &hfs_file_operations;
		inode->i_mapping->a_ops = &hfs_aops;

It doesn't make any sense to construct inode if we will make in bad inode,
finally. Don't waste computational power. :)

We already have make_bad_inode(inode) as default action. So, simply jump there.

I don't see the point in flags introduction. It makes logic very complicated.

How can we go into hfs_write_inode() if we created the bad inode for invalid
inode ID? How is it possible?

Thanks,
Slava.
