From 4729583006772b9530404bc1bb7c3aa4a10ffd4d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Li Zefan Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2014 18:19:03 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] 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! ... [] dump_stack+0x72/0x86 [] lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x101/0x140 [] 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.
