    I ran into the same issue today, but when listing a directory with
    invalid/corrupt entries:
    
    udf_lookup
            udf_iget
                    get_new_inode_fast
                            alloc_inode
                                    udf_alloc_inode
                    __udf_read_inode
                            fails for any reason
                    iput (on error)
                            ...
    
    The following patch to udf_alloc_inode() should take care of both (and
    other similar) cases, but I've only tested it with udf_lookup().
