Will try to be a bit more clear.

Yes, but let us be specific, what points to a dentry is the directory,
and then the files liked "dropped" above. In fact, as it turns out, the
relay can also be torn down for us through a debugfs_remove_recursive().

> but could later be sent to blk_trace_free again? 

This *should* not be possible, because the dentries for the blktrace
should not be removed prior to the request_queue being removed, because
the blktrace dentries are protected via a request_queue mutex,
q->blk_trace_mutex.

The blk_trace_free() free should therefore happen way early, before
the request_queue is removed. The only dentry left is the directory
on the q->debugfs_dir, and this should only be removed only later when
the request_queue is removed.

But, this does not happen today. For completeness below is a trace
of a real crash but with some extra information added, such as the
get_cpu() a call runs on, and any other interesting thing which we
might care for at the point a call is made.

Also remember debugfs_remove_recursive() is just a define to debugfs_remove().

I used:

	./break-blktrace -c 10 -d -s

So the teardown of the blktrace is skipped purposely.

The gist of it, is that upon the second loop, the LOOP_CTL_DEL for
loop0 schedules the __blk_release_queue() work, but it at least
gets to call blk_trace_free(), but in the meantime LOOP_CTL_ADD()
from the second loop gets called, without the prior work from the
LOOP_CTL_DEL having completed yet. By the time BLKTRACE_SETUP gets
called, the debugfs_lookup() is used, the directory is used (not
created). Then the old LOOP_CTL_DEL from the same second loop still
has to complete, and so it tries, and as you will see from the trace
below it calls debugfs_remove_recursive(q->debugfs_dir) prior to
the second loops' BLKTRACE_SETUP finishing. The dentries for the
files created for blktrace would be removed. Upon the third loop's
LOOP_CTL_DEL we end up trying to free these dentries again.

The fragility is in the use of the debugfs_lookup(), and since that
doesn't protect the files we create underneath it. We also dput()
right away, and even if we didn't, if you try to fix that you'll
soon see that this is just a hot mess with the debugfs directories
used.

It is much cleaner to have one directory which we don't have to
worry about for its life, the complexities around special casing
it for mq or not is what gets this thing to be sloppy.

One thing we could do to avoid conflicts with removal and a setup
is:
