Lockdep is sad otherwise, because inode mutex is taken on PipeFS dentry
creation, which can be called on mount notification, where this per-net client
lock is taken on clients list walk.

This won't be safe. Nothing guarantees that 'tmp' remains valid after
you drop the spin_lock.

I think you rather need to add a check for whether clnt->cl_dentry is in
the right state (NULL if RPC_PIPEFS_UMOUNT or non-NULL if
RPC_PIPEFS_MOUNT) before deciding whether or not to atomic_inc() and
drop the lock, so that you can restart the loop after calling
__rpc_pipefs_event().


Gmmm.
Please, correct me, if I'm wrong, that you are proposing something like this:

  	spin_lock(&sn->rpc_client_lock);
again:
	list_for_each_entry(clnt,&sn->all_clients, cl_clients) {
		if ((event == RPC_PIPEFS_MOUNT) && clnt->cl_dentry) ||
		    (event == RPC_PIPEFS_UMOUNT) && !clnt->cl_dentry))
			continue;
		atomic_inc(&clnt->cl_count);
		spin_unlock(&sn->rpc_client_lock);
   		error = __rpc_pipefs_event(clnt, event, sb);
		rpc_release_client(clnt);
		spin_lock(&sn->rpc_client_lock);
   		if (error)
   			break;
		goto again;
   	}
   	spin_unlock(&sn->rpc_client_lock);
