Thanks for your comment.

The fid argument of exfat_rename_file()/move_file()from old_dentry->fid of exfat_rename().
 * exfat_rename_file() <- ffsMoveFile() <- exfat_rename()
 * move_file() <- ffsMoveFile() <- exfat_rename()

The value that vfs sets to the old_dentry of exfat_rename() is the dentry value returned by exfat_lookup(), exfat_create(), and create_dir().
In each function, the value of dentry->fid is initialized to fid->type at create_file(), ffsLookupFile(), and create_dir().

 * create_file() <- ffsCreateFile() <-exfat_create()
 * ffsLookupFile() <- exfat_find() <-exfat_lookup()
 * exfat_mkdir() <- ffsCreateDir() <-create_dir()

A valid value is set in fid->type for all paths.
What do you think?
