Hello, Commit 653f0d05be09 ("simple_recursive_removal(): kernel-side rm -rf for ramfs-style filesystems") triggers the following WARN in linux-next-20191210 for me (and later a panic): WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at fs/dcache.c:338 dentry_free+0xa4/0xb0 Call trace: dentry_free+0xa4/0xb0 __dentry_kill+0x180/0x1c0 dput+0x298/0x418 simple_recursive_removal+0x22c/0x258 debugfs_remove+0x5c/0x80 opp_debug_remove_one+0x18/0x20 _opp_kref_release+0x40/0x78 dev_pm_opp_put+0x40/0x58 _opp_remove_all_static+0x50/0x78 _put_opp_list_kref+0x3c/0x50 _dev_pm_opp_find_and_remove_table+0x2c/0x90 dev_pm_opp_of_remove_table+0x14/0x20 imx_devfreq_probe+0xf0/0x270 This goes away if I revert the patch. My driver just does dev_pm_opp_of_add_table, encounters an error and then calls dev_pm_opp_of_remove_table to cleanup. This seems reasonable and is a common pattern in devfreq drivers but cleanup now crashes? Calls from OPP debug code seem reasonable: opp_debug_register(146): opp_dev=ffff0000b87be700 opp_list_debug_create_dir(112): opp_dev=ffff0000b87be700 opp_set_dev_name(24): dev=ffff0000b94c2810 opp_debug_create_supplies(45): opp=ffff0000b87be580 opp_debug_create_one(103): opp=ffff0000b87be580 dentry=ffff0000b8cdf8c0 opp_debug_create_supplies(45): opp=ffff0000b87be500 opp_debug_create_one(103): opp=ffff0000b87be500 dentry=ffff0000b8cf0240 opp_debug_create_supplies(45): opp=ffff0000b87be480 opp_debug_create_one(103): opp=ffff0000b87be480 dentry=ffff0000b8cf0b40 opp_debug_remove_one(34): opp=ffff0000b87be580 dentry=ffff0000b8cdf8c0 For some reason CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is no longer "y" on imx_v6_v7_defconfig but if enabled I also get similar problems on imx6 (trimmed): WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1 at fs/dcache.c:338 dentry_free+0xb8/0xd0 [<c012df84>] (__warn) [<c012e3d8>] (warn_slowpath_fmt) [<c02ee68c>] (dentry_free) [<c02ef174>] (__dentry_kill) [<c02f0078>] (dput) [<c0305150>] (simple_recursive_removal) [<c04e32b4>] (debugfs_remove) [<c06442d0>] (_regulator_put.part.0) [<c06444b8>] (regulator_put) [<c064b720>] (devm_regulator_release) [<c07809fc>] (release_nodes) [<c0780d24>] (devres_release_all) [<c077b394>] (really_probe) [<c077b9f8>] (driver_probe_device) [<c077be0c>] (device_driver_attach) [<c077be7c>] (__driver_attach) [<c07791e8>] (bus_for_each_dev) [<c077acc0>] (driver_attach) [<c077a458>] (bus_add_driver) [<c077ccb4>] (driver_register) [<c095d870>] (i2c_register_driver) [<c135d8a8>] (isl29018_driver_init) [<c01033f4>] (do_one_initcall) [<c1300fd4>] (kernel_init_freeable) [<c0dea7e0>] (kernel_init) Patch link is here, didn't find it on patchwork to reply: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit?id=653f0d05be0948e7610bb786e6570bb6c48a4e75 -- Regards, Leonard
