Hi,
i have been running 3 days with KASAN enabled and also with
diff a/fs/dcache.c b/fs/dcache.c
@@ -2395,3 +2395,4 @@ static void __d_rehash(struct dentry *entry)
 	struct hlist_bl_head *b = d_hash(entry->d_name.hash);
 
+	WARN_ON(entry->d_flags & DCACHE_NORCU);
 	hlist_bl_lock(b);
but the issue has not appeared again.
Next week i will try -rc2 without KASAN and with WARN_ON and see if it
triggers.

Regards,
  Vicenç.
