[BUG] cgroup lockup while upgrading udev on debian

[BUG] cgroup lockup while upgrading udev on debian

While upgrading my system, it locked up while upgrading udev. It locked
up on vanilla v4.14.12, and it also locked up on debian's 4.14 kernel
as well. When I booted debian's 4.9 kernel, it upgraded fine.

Note, this is my main server and not a development box. It is not
something I'm going to run bisects or other tests on. I don't even have
it logging to serial console (hence the photo). It's serials are hooked
to my test boxes. That is, it receives logs, it's not set up to send
them.

Attached in the photo of the crash that happened when I did:

 # dpkg --configure udev

It looks like the same bug which was fixed by 74d0833c659a ("cgroup:
fix css_task_iter crash on CSS_TASK_ITER_PROC").  The bug got
introduced durinv v4.14 cycle and triggers when cgroup1 and cgroup2
are used at the same time, which the recent versions of systemd does
when in cgroup1 mode.

Thanks.

Thanks Tejun,

I'll have to upgrade my systems to the lastest stable, before doing any
other upgrades.

That fix ended up in 4.14.14, so 4.14.12 is a bit too old Steven :)
