The insertion in eventfs_create_dir() was left as a plain list_add_tail(), which on weakly-ordered architectures can expose a new entry to the SRCU reader before its list pointers and fields are observable. Use list_add_tail_rcu() so the publication pairs with the existing list_del_rcu() and list_for_each_entry_srcu().
