I could not find any existing patch / discussion but https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220913121723.691454-1-lk@c--e.de/T/#mc068df068cfd19c43b16542e74d4b72dfc1b0569 looks similar from my POV.

Why I think it did not happen before is that we have many VMs running on 5.19.6 and there was no issue like this. Today after upgrade to .8, one of the VMs crashed this way very quickly (not even 1 day uptime).

Sadly I did not take dump of a VM, but hopefully information above is somewhat enough.

Thanks!
Comment 1 Artem S. Tashkinov 2022-09-16 13:41:41 UTC 
Would be great if you ran regression testing using git bisect.
Comment 2 Patrick S 2022-09-17 08:09:57 UTC 
I think I am running into the same problem. I already reported it on arch https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/75925

The problem occurs when running docker (run, pull, prune) rather fast. Maybe it is triggered by concurrent calls like discussed in the linked discussion?

It occurs on 5.19.8 and 5.19.9.
The systems works fine when rolling back to 5.19.7.
Comment 3 The Linux kernel's regression tracker (Thorsten Leemhuis) 2022-09-29 09:45:40 UTC 
Do you still encounter the problem in the latest 5.19.y kernels?

FWIW, there is a patch in Linux-next fixing concurrent calls to kernfs_remove_by_name_ns() for the same file:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/?id=4abc99652812a2ddf932f137515d5c5a04723538

I wonder if it might help, but it's just a wild guess, this is not my area of expertise.
Comment 4 The Linux kernel's regression tracker (Thorsten Leemhuis) 2022-10-26 12:23:23 UTC 
Igor, Patrick, any news?
Comment 5 Patrick S 2022-10-26 13:34:54 UTC 
I cannot reproduce the error anymore.

However, in my specific case with docker, ditching the devicemapper storage driver in favor of overlay2 helped to circumvent the problem.

I tried to setup a VM that is similar to my setup, but I could not reproduce the problem.
