It's ok. If MSDOS_I(dir)->scan_hints isn't NULL, it's not error case.
We need just kfree(hints) and return 0.(Assuming  kfree() accepts NULL)
I think EINVAL confuse you.

How about this ?

	if (!MSDOS_I(dir)->scan_hints) {
		hints  = kcalllo(....);

		down
		if (MSDOS_I(dir)->scan_hints) {
			up
			goto already_allocated;
		}
		if (hints)
			MSDOS_I(dir)->scan_hints = hints;
		up
	}
	return (hints == 0) ? -ENOMEM : 0;

already_allocated:
	kfree(hints); /* kfree accepts NULL */
	return 0;

Agree.

Agree
