cgroup: css_set_lock should nest inside tasklist_lock
cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists() incorrectly nests non-irq-safe tasklist_lock inside irq-safe css_set_lock triggering the following lockdep warning. WARNING: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected 4.17.0-rc1-00027-gb37d049 #6 Not tainted -------------------------------------------------------- systemd/1 just changed the state of lock: 00000000fe57773b (css_set_lock){..-.}, at: cgroup_free+0xf2/0x12a but this lock took another, SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock in the past: (tasklist_lock){.+.+} and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them. other info that might help us debug this: Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(tasklist_lock); local_irq_disable(); lock(css_set_lock); lock(tasklist_lock); <Interrupt> lock(css_set_lock); *** DEADLOCK *** The condition is highly unlikely to actually happen especially given that the path is executed only once per boot.
