commit 407c6726ca71b33330d2d6345d9ea7ebc02575e9 upstream Looking at how dentry is removed via the tracefs system, I found that eventfs does not do everything that it did under tracefs. The tracefs removal of a dentry calls simple_recursive_removal() that does a lot more than a simple d_invalidate(). As it should be a requirement that any eventfs_inode that has a dentry, so does its parent. When removing a eventfs_inode, if it has a dentry, a call to simple_recursive_removal() on that dentry should clean up all the dentries underneath it. Add WARN_ON_ONCE() to check for the parent having a dentry if any children do.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
