Commit 7bc3e6e55acf06 ("proc: Use a list of inodes to flush from proc")
moved proc_flush_task() behind __exit_signal(). Then, process systemd
can take long period high cpu usage during releasing task in following
concurrent processes:

   systemd                                 ps
kernel_waitid                 stat(/proc/tgid)
   do_wait                       filename_lookup
     wait_consider_task            lookup_fast
       release_task
         __exit_signal
           __unhash_process
             detach_pid
               __change_pid // remove task->pid_links
                                      d_revalidate -> pid_revalidate  // 0
                                      d_invalidate(/proc/tgid)
                                        shrink_dcache_parent(/proc/tgid)
                                          d_walk(/proc/tgid)
                                            spin_lock_nested(/proc/tgid/fd)
                                            // iterating opened fd
         proc_flush_pid                                    |
            d_invalidate (/proc/tgid/fd)                   |
               shrink_dcache_parent(/proc/tgid/fd)         |
                 shrink_dentry_list(subdirs)               ↓
                   shrink_lock_dentry(/proc/tgid/fd) --> race on dentry lock


Curious... can this same sort of thing happen with /proc/<tgid>/task if
that dir similarly has a lot of dentries?


Yes. It could happend too. There will be many dentries under /proc/<tgid>/task when there are many tasks under same thread group.

We must put /proc/<tgid>/task into pid->inodes, because we have to handle single thread exiting situation: Any one of threads should invalidate its /proc/<tgid>/task/<pid> dentry before begin released. You may refer to the function proc_flush_task_mnt() before commit 7bc3e6e55acf06 ("proc: Use a list of inodes to flush from proc").

Somewhat related to the question above.. it would be nice if this
wrapper had a line or two comment above it that explained when it should
or shouldn't be used over the underlying function (for example, why or
why not include /proc/<tgid>/task?). Otherwise the patch overall seems
reasonable to me..


Thanks for advice, I will add some notes in v5.
