Message-ID: <20210716084805.273744-1-yangyingliang@huawei.com> (raw)

When start the kernel, I got this report:

To fix this, move stats_flush_lock into cgroup_rstat_flush() after might_sleep(),
unlock stats_flush_lock before sleep in cgroup_rstat_flush_locked() and lock
stats_flush_lock after wake up.
