Yep, I gathered that from reading the patch, was just hoping for a commit log
that makes it clear.

One thing I'm not sure about, the block_trace *bt still points to a dentry that
could get torn down via debugfs_remove_recursive when the queue is released, right,
but could later be sent to blk_trace_free again?  And yet this does seem to fix the
use after free in my testing, so I must be missing something.

Thanks,
