   FileEntryRef ReturnedRef(*NamedFileEnt);
-  if (UFE.isValid()) { // Already have an entry with this inode, return it.
+  if (ReusingEntry) { // Already have an entry with this inode, return it.

You're right, but I think we can get rid of isValid, and plan to send a patch.

A FileEntry handed out by FileManager always has isValid = true. It's not possible to create a useful FileEntry outside FileManager (and this is never done outside FileManagerTest). So the concept of validity isn't needed.

(IMO the main cost of having the isValid flag is conceptual complexity - lots of places check it, which means people must be thinking about how to handle this case)
