Running racer on a single node with MDSCOUNT=2 I see this:

This is from:

        if (info->mti_cross_ref) {
                ...

                if (rc == 0) {
                        /* Finally, we can get attr for child. */
                        mdt_set_capainfo(info, 0, mdt_object_fid(child),
                                         BYPASS_CAPA);
                        rc = mdt_getattr_internal(info, child, 0);
                        if (unlikely(rc != 0))
                                mdt_object_unlock(info, child, lhc, 1);
                }
                RETURN(rc);
        }

Above we are checking that parent (which is really child) exists but only if lname is non-NULL.

There are several more assertions in mdt_getattr_name_lock(), mdt_getattr_internal, and mdt_raw_lookup() which just depend on the politeness of clients. These should be collected and replaced with error handling.
