cgroups: don't put struct cgroupfs_root protected by RCU
We don't access struct cgroupfs_root in fast path, so we should not put struct cgroupfs_root protected by RCU But the comment in struct cgroup_subsys.root confuse us. struct cgroup_subsys.root is used in these places: 1 find_css_set(): if (ss->root->subsys_list.next == &ss->sibling) 2 rebind_subsystems(): if (ss->root != &rootnode) rcu_assign_pointer(ss->root, root); rcu_assign_pointer(subsys[i]->root, &rootnode); 3 cgroup_has_css_refs(): if (ss->root != cgrp->root) 4 cgroup_init_subsys(): ss->root = &rootnode; 5 proc_cgroupstats_show(): ss->name, ss->root->subsys_bits, ss->root->number_of_cgroups, !ss->disabled); 6 cgroup_clone(): root = subsys->root; if ((root != subsys->root) || All these place we have held cgroup_lock() or we don't dereference to struct cgroupfs_root. It's means wo don't need RCU when use struct cgroup_subsys.root, and we should not put struct cgroupfs_root protected by RCU.
