Commit f046fbb4d81d ("ecryptfs: use new start_creating/start_removing APIs") added a new dget() of the lower parent dir, in ecryptfs_mkdir(), but did not dput() the dentry before returning from that function. The BUG output as seen while running the eCryptfs test suite: $ ./run_tests.sh -b 131072 -c safe,destructive -f ext4 -K -t lp-926292.sh ...
