If prev == NULL I believe that root should be returned. Further down, at the current dentry check for it being simple_positive() it looks like the d_lock for dentry p should be dropped instead of dentry ret, otherwise when p is assinged to ret we end up with no lock on p and a lost lock on ret, which leads to a deadlock.
