      Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt::
       "Eventfs fixes:
      
         - With the usage of simple_recursive_remove() recommended by Al Viro,
           the code should not be calling "d_invalidate()" itself. Doing so is
           causing crashes. The code was calling d_invalidate() on the race of
           trying to look up a file while the parent was being deleted. This
           was detected, and the added dentry was having d_invalidate() called
           on it, but the deletion of the directory was also calling
           d_invalidate() on that same dentry.
      
         - A fix to not free the eventfs_inode (ei) until the last dput() was
           called on its ei->dentry made the ei->dentry exist even after it
           was marked for free by setting the ei->is_freed. But code elsewhere
           still was checking if ei->dentry was NULL if ei->is_freed is set
           and would trigger WARN_ON if that was the case. That's no longer
           true and there should not be any warnings when it is true.
      
         - Use GFP_NOFS for allocations done under eventfs_mutex. The
           eventfs_mutex can be taken on file system reclaim, make sure that
           allocations done under that mutex do not trigger file system
           reclaim.
      
         - Clean up code by moving the taking of inode_lock out of the helper
           functions and into where they are needed, and not use the parameter
           to know to take it or not. It must always be held but some callers
           of the helper function have it taken when they were called.
      
         - Warn if the inode_lock is not held in the helper functions.
      
         - Warn if eventfs_start_creating() is called without a parent. As
           eventfs is underneath tracefs, all files created will have a parent
           (the top one will have a tracefs parent).
      
        Tracing update:
      
         - Add Mathieu Desnoyers as an official reviewer of the tracing subsystem"

        MAINTAINERS: TRACING: Add Mathieu Desnoyers as Reviewer
        eventfs: Make sure that parent->d_inode is locked in creating files/dirs
        eventfs: Do not allow NULL parent to eventfs_start_creating()
        eventfs: Move taking of inode_lock into dcache_dir_open_wrapper()
        eventfs: Use GFP_NOFS for allocation when eventfs_mutex is held
        eventfs: Do not invalidate dentry in create_file/dir_dentry()
        eventfs: Remove expectation that ei->is_freed means ei->dentry == NULL
