The update to removing the eventfs_file changed the way the events top
level directory was handled. Instead of returning a dentry, it now returns
the eventfs_inode. In this changed, the removing of the events top level
directory is not much different than removing any of the other
directories. Because of this, the removal just called eventfs_remove_dir()
instead of eventfs_remove_events_dir().
Although eventfs_remove_dir() does the clean up, it misses out on the
dget() of the ei->dentry done in eventfs_create_events_dir(). It makes
more sense to match eventfs_create_events_dir() with a specific function
eventfs_remove_events_dir() and this specific function can then perform
the dput() to the dentry that had the dget() when it was created.

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.
