6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit e109deadb73318cf4a3bd61287d969f705df278f upstream. If ei->is_freed is set in eventfs_iterate(), it means that the directory that is being iterated on is in the process of being freed. Just exit the loop immediately when that is ever detected, and separate out the return of the entry->callback() from ei->is_freed.
