Hmmm... it doesn't really guarantee that as css's can be offlined with residual css refcnts, os the css may well be offlined by the time it reaches the rw functions. What's guaranteed is that their refcnts wouldn't be zero. Eventually we need to implement proper sever semantics (probably by replacing the custom fs implementation with sysfs) but right now controllers still need to deal with offline css's.
