Subject: kernel 4.14.x crash around fsnotify_mark_connector

Hi,

In one of our production servers where we run kernel version 4.14.32, I noticed
the following:

The kernel was fine and server was responsive.
A coworker mentioned that it may come from
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/fs/notify/mark.c#L160
and commit
08991e83b728 ("fsnotify: Free fsnotify_mark_connector when there is no mark
attached") arrived with 4.12-rc1 may be the cause of it.

I am wondering if it is related to the issue I reported
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/16/506. But, that issue causes the whole server to
crash, which is not the case for above kernel dump.


Cheers,
Pavlos
