6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> The top level events directory dentry does not have a d_fsdata set to a eventfs_file pointer. This dentry is still passed to eventfs_set_attr(). It can not assume that the d_fsdata is set. Check for that.
