Ah, this was because the final iput() does dentry->d_fsdata = NULL, and
in the lookup code I have:


	mutex_lock(&eventfs_mutex);
	ei = READ_ONCE(ti->private);
	if (ei && ei->is_freed)
		ei = NULL;
	mutex_unlock(&eventfs_mutex);

	if (!ei) {
		printk("HELLO no ei\n");
		goto out;
	}

Where that printk() was triggering.

So at least it's not calling back into the tracing code ;-)

Interesting that it still did the lookup, even though it was already
referenced.

I'm still learning the internals of VFS.

Anyway, after keeping the d_fsdata untouched (not going to NULL), just
to see what would happen, I ran it again with KASAN and did trigger:

That was with just these commands:

  cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
  echo 'p:sched schedule' >> /sys/kernel/tracing/kprobe_events 
  echo 'p:timer read_current_timer' >> kprobe_events 
  ls events/kprobes/
  cat events/kprobes/sched/enable
  ls events/kprobes/sched
  echo '-:sched schedule' >> /sys/kernel/tracing/kprobe_events 
  ls events/kprobes/sched/enable
  cat events/kprobes/sched/enable

BTW, the ls after the deletion returned:

 # ls events/kprobes/sched/enable
 events/kprobes/sched/enable

In a normal file system that would be equivalent to:

 # mkdir events/kprobes/sched
 # touch events/kprobes/sched/enable
 # rm -rf events/kprobes/sched
 # ls events/kprobes/sched/enable
 events/kprobes/sched/enable
