From 9a9686b634acc5cb6b7c601c171ae64af0318a24 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Li Zefan Date: Thu, 22 Apr 2010 17:29:24 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] cgroup: Fix an RCU warning in cgroup_path() with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y, a warning can be triggered: # mount -t cgroup -o debug xxx /mnt # cat /proc/$$/cgroup ... kernel/cgroup.c:1649 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection! ... This is a false-positive, because cgroup_path() can be called with either rcu_read_lock() held or cgroup_mutex held. Signed-off-by: Li Zefan Signed-off-by: Paul E.
