commit 2819f23ac12ce93ff79ca7a54597df9a4a1f6331 upstream. The update to removing the eventfs_file changed the way the events top level directory was handled. Instead of returning a dentry, it now returns the eventfs_inode. In this changed, the removing of the events top level directory is not much different than removing any of the other directories. Because of this, the removal just called eventfs_remove_dir() instead of eventfs_remove_events_dir(). Although eventfs_remove_dir() does the clean up, it misses out on the dget() of the ei->dentry done in eventfs_create_events_dir(). It makes more sense to match eventfs_create_events_dir() with a specific function eventfs_remove_events_dir() and this specific function can then perform the dput() to the dentry that had the dget() when it was created.

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.
