[PATCH linux-next] cgroup: fix suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage warning

[Chengming Zhou]

task_css_set_check() will use rcu_dereference_check() to check for
rcu_read_lock_held() on the read-side, which is not true after commit
dc6e0818bc9a ("sched/cpuacct: Optimize away RCU read lock"). This
commit drop explicit rcu_read_lock(), change to RCU-sched read-side
critical section. So fix the RCU warning by adding check for
rcu_read_lock_sched_held().

Thanks, I'll go stick this in sched/core so it's in the same branch that
caused the problem.

FWIW I never saw this patch because it doesn't instantly look like a
patch I should be interested in. It's classified as 'for-next' and I
don't run -next, sfr does that. Then it's tagged as cgroup, which I also
don't do.

Nowhere does that look like a patch that wants to go in sched/core and
fixes a cpuacct issue.

On top of that, I still don't agree with this, I really think
rcu_dereference_check() itself should be changed.

Oh, sorry for this.. I should've add "cpuacct" in the subject. The
"linux-next" prefix was added because I thought any patch based on
the linux-next branch should add this prefix.

Yes, I think so too. This patch is workaround to fix the warning to
follow the usage in RCU Documentation.

Maybe changes should be made in RCU code to make rcu_dereference_check()
more flexible as you expressed in the conversation with Paul.

Thanks.
