cpuset: fix a locking issue in cpuset_migrate_mm()
I can trigger a lockdep warning: # mount -t cgroup -o cpuset xxx /cgroup # mkdir /cgroup/cpuset # mkdir /cgroup/tmp # echo 0 > /cgroup/tmp/cpuset.cpus # echo 0 > /cgroup/tmp/cpuset.mems # echo 1 > /cgroup/tmp/cpuset.memory_migrate # echo $$ > /cgroup/tmp/tasks # echo 1 > /cgruop/tmp/cpuset.mems =============================== [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ] 3.14.0-rc1-0.1-default+ #32 Not tainted ------------------------------- include/linux/cgroup.h:682 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! ... [<ffffffff81582174>] dump_stack+0x72/0x86 [<ffffffff810b8f01>] lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x101/0x140 [<ffffffff81105ba1>] cpuset_migrate_mm+0xb1/0xe0 ... We used to hold cgroup_mutex when calling cpuset_migrate_mm(), but now we hold cpuset_mutex, which causes task_css() to complain. This is not a false-positive but a real issue. Holding cpuset_mutex won't prevent a task from migrating to another cpuset, and it won't prevent the original task->cgroup from destroying during this change.
