Yes.

Right for ret < 0, but for ret >= 0 we set it to 0 and then do return 
(void*)0 a.k.a. return NULL.

and then set it to ENOENT if it is NULL. So it should be

if (ret >= 0)
	ret = -ENOENT;
return ERR_PTR(-ENOENT);

and in the caller

if (IS_ERR(di)) {
	ret = PTR_ERR(di);
	btrfs_abort_transaction(...);
	break;
}
