[ Upstream commit d9b13cdad80dc11d74408cf201939a946e9303a6 ] If a lookup in tracefs is done on a file that does not exist, it leaves a dentry hanging around until memory pressure removes it. But eventfs dentries should hang around as when their ref count goes to zero, it requires more work to recreate it. For the rest of the tracefs dentries, they hang around as their dentry is used as a descriptor for the tracing system. But if a file lookup happens for a file in tracefs that does not exist, it should be deleted. Add a .d_delete callback that checks if dentry->fsdata is set or not. Only eventfs dentries set fsdata so if it has content it should not be deleted and should hang around in the cache.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
