The freeing of eventfs_inode via a kfree_rcu() callback. But the content of the eventfs_inode was being freed after the last kref. This is dangerous, as changes are being made that can access the content of an eventfs_inode from an RCU loop. Instead of using kfree_rcu() use call_rcu() that calls a function to do all the freeing of the eventfs_inode after a RCU grace period has expired.

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.
