I added a bunch of printk()s and I'm thinking there's a race in user event
(or dynamic event) code.

I put a printk in the open, write and release call to record the filp and
the file in the open and this is what I hit:

[   32.603954] open ffff8d05488bf000 file=ffff8d0484f7a688
[   32.607026] write ffff8d05488bf000
[   32.608829] update file = ffff8d0484f7a688
[   32.610100] update tr = ffffffffb2bebda0
[   32.622203] write ffff8d05488bf000
[   32.623231] update file = ffff8d0484f7a688
[   32.624397] update tr = ffffffffb2bebda0
[   32.625975] call delayed destroy
[   32.627241] open ffff8d048510fc00 file=ffff8d0484f7a688

Another open with a different filp, but has the same file pointer (which is
the meta data that matches the eventfs files, but not part of eventfs).

[   32.628720] release ffff8d048510fc00

Only one release is called and then we call:

[   32.630785] Remove event call ffff8d04809d7c58

The above "Remove event call" came from user_event_set_call_visible()

	if (visible) {
		printk("show event call %px\n", &user->call);
		ret = trace_add_event_call(&user->call);
	} else {
		printk("Remove event call %px\n", &user->call);
		ret = trace_remove_event_call(&user->call);
	}

Where trace_remove_event_call() calls:

   probe_remove_event_call() {
      __trace_remove_event_call() {
         event_remove() {
            remove_event_from_tracers() {
               remove_event_file_dir() {
                  remove_event_file_dir() {
                     kmem_cache_free(file_cachep, file);

That is, call->file is freed at this point. Now any access to the file
pointer is going to be garbage, which a write to enable will cause.

So I see it is freed without seeing a release called.

[   32.632323] Removing __test_event

The above is the dentry being released (unlinked).

[   32.633618] Removing enable
[   32.634453] Removing user_events
[   32.634948] write ffff8d05488bf000

Another write is happening to the user event file (it may have been
unlinked, but the release was never called, so it is still valid.

[   32.636440] update file = ffff8d0484f7a688
[   32.637685] update tr = dc64cc323d943921

The above is the file pointer that we freed, and you can see the file->tr
is now garbage.

Note, I think I can simplify some of the code (but not fix this bug) by
letting the dput free the eventfs_inode as well (I think that is required).
But the above looks to be a bug in the implementation of user_events.
