[PATCH 5.16 121/126] cgroup/cpuset: Fix "suspicious RCU usage" lockdep warning

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Feb 07 2022 - 07:04:01 EST


From: Waiman Long <longman@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 2bdfd2825c9662463371e6691b1a794e97fa36b4 upstream.

It was found that a "suspicious RCU usage" lockdep warning was issued
with the rcu_read_lock() call in update_sibling_cpumasks(). It is
because the update_cpumasks_hier() function may sleep. So we have
to release the RCU lock, call update_cpumasks_hier() and reacquire
it afterward.

Also add a percpu_rwsem_assert_held() in update_sibling_cpumasks()
instead of stating that in the comment.

Fixes: 4716909cc5c5 ("cpuset: Track cpusets that use parent's effective_cpus")
