Hi Murphy,

Thank you for the detailed report.
I was able to reproduce the hang and the attached patch fixes it for me.
Cloud you please verify the fix yourself as well?

This is a good regression test.
Did you consider contributing it to LTP?
I think the LTP team could also help converting your reproducer to
an LTP test (CC: Petr).

Thanks,
Amir.

Subject: [PATCH] fsnotify: fix sb_connectors leak

Fix a leak in s_fsnotify_connectors counter in case of a race between
concurrent add of new fsnotify mark to an object.

The task that lost the race fails to drop the counter before freeing
the unused connector.

Fixes: ec44610fe2b8 ("fsnotify: count all objects with attached connectors")
