This code looks a little confusing to me..

You are adding quite a few of those if (obj) clauses.  I can't see a
reason for that - care to explain?  The new aops should not disallow for
any functionality that has been there before.

I'd suggest to directly poke into the place where the parent handle
is stored.  XFS used a similar construct to the decode_inode helper,
but with the new aops it's faster and easier to read if you just have
a helper on how many bytes to skip.  Did you take a look at how the
various other filesystem handle the export ops?

How are the changes to all these other files related to the export
operations changes?
