When close a file it will be deferred to call the fput(), which
will hold the inode's i_count. And when unmounting the mountpoint
the evict_inodes() may skip evicting some inodes.
If encrypt is enabled the kernel generate a warning when removing
the encrypt keys when the skipped inodes still hold the keyring:
This does not make sense. Unmounting is only possible once all the files on the
filesystem have been closed.
Specifically, __fput() puts the reference to the dentry (and thus the inode)
*before* it puts the reference to the mount. And an unmount cannot be done
while the mount still has references. So there should not be any issue here.
Eric,
When I unmounting I can see the following logs, which I added a debug
log in the evcit_inodes():

The logs:
<4>[ 95.977395] evict_inodes inode 00000000f90aab7b, i_count = 1, was
skipped!
Any reason could cause this ? Since the inode couldn't be evicted in
time and then when removing the master keys it will print this warning.
Thanks
