In audit_attach_watch(), you call audit_wentry_fetch_lock() which takes
read lock of the parent while holding the write lock on the entry. What
if dentry->d_parent == dentry, i.e. root inode of a filesystem?
Funny you mentioned this. Right after you told me about the deadlock you were
getting, I went and looked at this function, and noticed the same thing. I'm
now testing for this case.
