This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled cgroup/cpuset: Change cpuset_rwsem and hotplug lock order to the 4.19-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: cgroup-cpuset-change-cpuset_rwsem-and-hotplug-lock-order.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From d74b27d63a8bebe2fe634944e4ebdc7b10db7a39 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Juri Lelli <juri.lelli@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 19 Jul 2019 15:59:58 +0200 Subject: cgroup/cpuset: Change cpuset_rwsem and hotplug lock order From: Juri Lelli <juri.lelli@xxxxxxxxxx> commit d74b27d63a8bebe2fe634944e4ebdc7b10db7a39 upstream. cpuset_rwsem is going to be acquired from sched_setscheduler() with a following patch. There are however paths (e.g., spawn_ksoftirqd) in which sched_scheduler() is eventually called while holding hotplug lock; this creates a dependecy between hotplug lock (to be always acquired first) and cpuset_rwsem (to be always acquired after hotplug lock). Fix paths which currently take the two locks in the wrong order (after a following patch is applied).
