That'd be ERR_PTR(-13), i.e. ERR_PTR(-EACCES). Most likely from nsdentry = kernfs_node_dentry(cgrp->kn, sb); dput(fc->root); fc->root = nsdentry; if (IS_ERR(nsdentry)) { ret = PTR_ERR(nsdentry); deactivate_locked_super(sb); } in cgroup_do_get_tree(). As a quick test, try to add fc->root = NULL; next to that deactivate_locked_super(sb); inside the if (IS_ERR(...)) body and see if it helps; it's not the best way to fix it (I'd rather go for if (IS_ERR(nsdentry)) { ret = PTR_ERR(nsdentry); deactivate_locked_super(sb); nsdentry = NULL; } fc->root = nsdentry; ), but it would serve to verify that this is the source of that crap.
