Hello. Untested again, only for review. Sorry, I know this is annoying. Will try to test tomorrow.
The only essential change is that "clear d_subdirs->i_private" comes as a last patch, this needs the additional comment in the changelogs of 1-4 but avoids the temporary complications. I am sending this series right now because: - I promised to do this today ;) - Whatever I do, correctness-wise this needs your review anyway. - Even if correct, the very intent needs an ack from Masami who seems to disagree with this approach. This series shifts the validation from f_op->open() (which currently doesn't work) to ->read/write. While I personally think this makes more sense (simpler and does not block rmdir/event_remove), I understand that this is subjective, so I won't argue too much if you prefer to add the additional ref-counts instead. >From 6/6: Note: this doesn't not fix other problems, event_remove() can destroy the active ftrace_event_call, we need more changes but those changes are completely orthogonal.
