Never mind. I just failed to see the warning on x86_32. The warning is spurious and fixed with the following commit. Applied to cgroup/for-5.5. Thanks. ------ 8< ------ >From d7495343228f30d8206e92dccfd1c41adcfa142d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 14 Nov 2019 14:46:51 -0800 743210386c03 ("cgroup: use cgrp->kn->id as the cgroup ID") added WARN which triggers if cgroup_id(root_cgrp) is not 1. This is fine on 64bit ino archs but on 32bit archs cgroup ID is ((gen << 32) | ino) and gen starts at 1, so the root id is 0x1_0000_0001 instead of 1 always triggering the WARN. What we wanna make sure is that the ino part is 1. Fix it.
