From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx> Removing the parent of a watched file results in "kernel BUG at fs/notify/mark.c:139". To reproduce add "-w /tmp/audit/dir/watched_file" to audit.rules rm -rf /tmp/audit/dir This is caused by fsnotify_destroy_mark() being called without an extra reference taken by the caller.
