Unfortunately, I failed to run the script in my machine.

Based on your report, kernel was crashed due to kn_mondata was NULL

  rdt_kill_sb
    rmdir_all_sub
      ..
      kernfs_remove(kn_mondata);
        struct kernfs_root *root = kernfs_root(kn); <-- crashed


Before the my patch[1], it worked like this.

  rdt_kill_sb
    rmdir_all_sub
      ..
      kernfs_remove(kn_mondata);
        down_write(&kernfs_rwsem);
          if (!kn)
            return;
        up_write(&kernfs_rwsem);

IOW, before, kernfs_remove worked with NULL argument via just bailing
but with the my patch[1], it doesn't work any longer.

It makes me have questions for kernfs maintainers:

Should kernfs_remove API support NULL parameter? If so, can we support
it atomically without old global kernfs_rwsem?
