We should see this all over the place and specifically not just on arm64. The sequence here seems to be: echo 4 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches rmmod scsi_debug > /dev/null 3>&1 [ 3117.059778] WARNING: CPU: 121 PID: 93233 at fs/dcache.c:365 __dentry_kill+0x214/0x278 [ 3117.067601] Modules linked in: scsi_debug nvme nvme_core nvme_common null_blk pktcdvd ipmi_watchdog ipmi_poweroff rfkill sunrpc vfat fat acpi_ipmi ipmi_ssif arm_spe_pmu igb ipmi_devintf ipmi_msghandler arm_cmn arm_dmc620_pmu cppc_cpufreq arm_dsu_pmu acpi_tad loop fuse zram xfs crct10dif_ce polyval_ce polyval_generic ghash_ce sbsa_gwdt ast onboard_usb_hub i2c_algo_bit xgene_hwmon [last unloaded: scsi_debug] So my money is on some device that gets removed still having an increased refcount and pinning the dentry. Immediate suspects would be: 7882541ca06d ("of/platform: increase refcount of fwnode") but that part is complete speculation on my part.
