The change to update the permissions of the eventfs_inode had the misconception that using the tracefs_inode would find all the eventfs_inodes that have been updated and reset them on remount. The problem with this approach is that the eventfs_inodes are freed when they are no longer used (basically the reason the eventfs system exists). When they are freed, the updated eventfs_inodes are not reset on a remount because their tracefs_inodes have been freed. Instead, since the events directory eventfs_inode always has a tracefs_inode pointing to it (it is not freed when finished), and the events directory has a link to all its children, have the eventfs_remount() function only operate on the events eventfs_inode and have it descend into its children updating their uid and gids.

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 reStructuredText 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.
