Hrm... there is a PF_EXITING check there already:

         rcu_dereference_check((task)->cgroups,        \
         lockdep_is_held(&cgroup_mutex) ||        \
         lockdep_is_held(&css_set_rwsem) ||        \
         ((task)->flags & PF_EXITING) || (__c))

I see it's not happening on Linus's master so I'll run a bisection to figure out what broke it.

Hi Tejun,

It bisects down to your patch: "cgroup: drop task_lock() protection
around task->cgroups". I'll look into it later unless it's obvious
to you.

Hmmm... maybe I'm confused and PF_EXITING is not set there and
task_lock was what held off the lockdep warning.  Confused....


Because this cgroup_exit() is called in a failure path in copy_process().

It seems there was no conclusion here and it still happens in -next, anything
we can do about it?

Thanks,
Sasha
