[PATCH] eventfs: Process deletion of dentry more thoroughly

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Looking at how dentry is removed via the tracefs system, I found that
eventfs does not do everything that it did under tracefs. The tracefs
removal of a dentry calls simple_recursive_removal() that does a lot more
than a simple d_invalidate().

Have the same done on eventfs dentry:

 1. Set S_DEAD for directories
 2. Call clear_nlink() on the dentry inode
 3. Call any notifiers about the dentry removal
