This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled cgroup: fix missing cpus_read_{lock,unlock}() in cgroup_transfer_tasks() to the 6.3-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-fix-missing-cpus_read_-lock-unlock-in-cgroup_.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.3 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 120ed517f9f53e00f50e37e881040813b9f92374 Author: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed May 17 07:45:45 2023 +0000 cgroup: fix missing cpus_read_{lock,unlock}() in cgroup_transfer_tasks() [ Upstream commit ab1de7ead871ebe6d12a774c3c25de0388cde082 ] The commit 4f7e7236435c ("cgroup: Fix threadgroup_rwsem <-> cpus_read_lock() deadlock") fixed the deadlock between cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem and cpus_read_lock() by introducing cgroup_attach_{lock,unlock}() and removing cpus_read_{lock,unlock}() from cpuset_attach(). But cgroup_transfer_tasks() was missed and not handled, which will cause th following warning: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 589 at kernel/cpu.c:526 lockdep_assert_cpus_held+0x32/0x40 CPU: 0 PID: 589 Comm: kworker/1:4 Not tainted 6.4.0-rc2-next-20230517 #50 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.14.0-2 04/01/2014 Workqueue: events cpuset_hotplug_workfn RIP: 0010:lockdep_assert_cpus_held+0x32/0x40 <...> Call Trace: <TASK> cpuset_attach+0x40/0x240 cgroup_migrate_execute+0x452/0x5e0 ? _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x28/0x40 cgroup_transfer_tasks+0x1f3/0x360 ? find_held_lock+0x32/0x90 ? cpuset_hotplug_workfn+0xc81/0xed0 cpuset_hotplug_workfn+0xcb1/0xed0 ? process_one_work+0x248/0x5b0 process_one_work+0x2b9/0x5b0 worker_thread+0x56/0x3b0 ? process_one_work+0x5b0/0x5b0 kthread+0xf1/0x120 ? kthread_complete_and_exit+0x20/0x20 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 </TASK> So just use the cgroup_attach_{lock,unlock}() helper to fix it.
