Hi Eric,
Happy New Year!
Yeah, it's a ceph side bug and I have sent a patch to fix it [1].
When unmounting and just before closing the sessions the cephfs server
still could send cap message to kceph and it will hold the inodes. So
the unmount will skip them.
IMO it still makes sense to improve the vfs code because I hit a crash
after this happening but just one time.

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:

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.
It is expected for evict_inodes() to see some inodes with nonzero refcount, but
they should only be filesystem internal inodes. For example, with ext4 this
happens with the journal inode.
However, filesystem internal inodes cannot be encrypted, so they are irrelevant
here.
I'd guess that CephFS has a bug where it is leaking a reference to a user inode
somewhere.
I also added some debug logs to tracker all the inodes in ceph, and all the
requests has been finished.
I will debug it more to see whether it's leaking a reference here.
Thanks Eric.
Any progress on tracking this down?
