It's actually worse than you say: - We don't hold this_parent->d_lock at the 'positive' label in have_submounts(), but it is unlocked after 'rename_retry'. - There is an rcu_read_unlock() after the 'out' label in select_parent(), but it's not held at the 'goto out'. Does the following patch work for you?
