Subject: [PATCH cgroup/for-4.10-fixes] cgroup/pids: remove spurious suspicious RCU usage warning
Date: Wed, 1 Mar 2017 15:39:07 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170301203907.GF3662@htj.duckdns.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1488391071.4812.2.camel@gmx.de>
pids_can_fork() is special in that the css association is guaranteed
to be stable throughout the function and thus doesn't need RCU
protection around task_css access. When determining the css to charge
the pid, task_css_check() is used to override the RCU sanity check.
While adding a warning message on fork rejection from pids limit,
135b8b37bd91 ("cgroup: Add pids controller event when fork fails
because of pid limit") incorrectly added a task_css access which is
neither RCU protected or explicitly annotated. This triggers the
following suspicious RCU usage warning when RCU debugging is enabled.

There's no reason to dereference task_css again here when the
associated css is already available. Fix it by replacing the
task_cgroup() call with css->cgroup.
