I can't see where you do that. follow_managed(), and thus follow_automount() and ->d_automount(), are never reached in rcu_walk mode, from what I can tell of the code. There are two places follow_managed() is called: (1) do_lookup() - where follow_managed() is only called in the else-part of an if-statement contingent on a check of LOOKUP_RCU. (2) do_last() - where follow_managed() is subsequent to a mutex having been taken, so rcu-walk mode must have been exited prior to this as the process may have needed to sleep. At least, I'm assuming you may not sleep whilst in rcu-walk mode.
