Hi,
with current -next trees and LDEP enabled, I'm getting:
===============================
[ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
3.6.0-rc5-next-20120913+ #42 Not tainted
-------------------------------
/home/latest/linux/include/linux/cgroup.h:553 suspicious
rcu_dereference_check() usage!
other info that might help us debug this:
rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
2 locks held by kdevtmpfs/23:
#0: (sb_writers){.+.+.+}, at: [<ffffffff8116873f>]
mnt_want_write+0x1f/0x50
#1: (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#3/1){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff811558af>]
kern_path_create+0x7f/0x170
stack backtrace:

It's due to the commit "device_cgroup: convert device_cgroup internally
to policy + exceptions". It removed rcu locks which are needed in
task_devcgroup called in this chain: devcgroup_inode_mknod OR
__devcgroup_inode_permission -> __devcgroup_inode_permission ->
task_devcgroup -> task_subsys_state -> task_subsys_state_check.
