    cgroup: always use RCU accessors for protected accesses · a4ea1cc9
    Tejun Heo authored
    kernel/cgroup.c still has places where a RCU pointer is set and
    accessed directly without going through RCU_INIT_POINTER() or
    rcu_dereference_protected().  They're all properly protected accesses
    so nothing is broken but it leads to spurious sparse RCU address space
    warnings.
    
    Substitute direct accesses with RCU_INIT_POINTER() and
    rcu_dereference_protected().  Note that %true is specified as the
    extra condition for all derference updates.  This isn't ideal as all
    it does is suppressing warning without actually policing
    synchronization rules; however, most are scheduled to be removed
    pretty soon along with css_id itself, so no reason to be more
    elaborate.
    
    Combined with the previous changes, this removes all RCU related
    sparse warnings from cgroup.
