I'm so sorry that I missed the test request for
https://lore.kernel.org/all/169030957098.157536.9938425508695693348.stgit@manet.1015granger.net/
just FYI, when this auto-bisect done,
head commit of linus/master: [65d6e954e37872fd9afb5ef3fc0481bb3c2f20f4] was
tested, it already includes
2be4f05af71bb libfs: Remove parent dentry locking in offset_iterate_dir()
in our tests, the regression still exists.

if you have further fix patch, could you let us know? I will test it.
