Also testing with the latest mainline kernel (4.16) would be welcome whether this isn't just an issue with the backport of fsnotify fixes from Miklos.
It's not easy for us to reproduce the fsnotify() lockup issue, and actually we still don't have an easy & reliable way to reproduce it.
According to our tests, v4.16 doesn't have the issue. And v4.15 doesn't have the issue either, if I recall correctly. I only know the issue happens to v4.14.x and 4.13.x kernels
