Sorry... I'm not sure if I understand you correctly. This branch will be walked through when previous part of bhs[] faces a read failure in order to put bh allocated in ocfs2_read_blocks(). And we assume all bh should be NULL or non-NULL, if new_bh is set, the back part should also be put to release those buffer heads. If I made a mistake or misunderstand you, please let me know.
