With the call to simple_recursive_removal() on the entire eventfs sub system when the directory is removed, it performs the d_invalidate on all the dentries when it is removed. There's no need to do clean ups when a dentry is being created while the directory is being deleted. As dentries are cleaned up by the simpler_recursive_removal(), trying to do d_invalidate() in these functions will cause the dentry to be invalidated twice, and crash the kernel.

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.
