So finally we have something useful. We know we have problems with [eventpoll] dentry. That is actually a special filesystem not mounted anywhere - likely you get to that dentry through /proc/<pid>/fd/. Now eventpoll is interesting because it uses single anon inode for all eventpoll instances. And that inode should stay in place as long as eventpoll filesystem exists. So it's not clear how come that inode is freed. The basic check of handling of inode use count didn't find anything suspicious. But I can check in more detail and if I fail, we now have a pretty narrow area where to look...
