      [0.203089]  #3 Ok.
      [0.275286] Brought up 4 CPUs
      [0.276005] Total of 4 processors activated (16017.17 BogoMIPS).
      
      The cgroup_subsys_state structures referenced by idle tasks are never
      freed, because the idle tasks should be part of the root cgroup,
      which is not removable.
      
      The problem is that while we do in-fact hold rq->lock, the newly spawned
      idle thread's cpu is not yet set to the correct cpu so the lockdep check
      in task_group():
      
        lockdep_is_held(&task_rq(p)->lock)
      
      will fail.
      
      But this is a chicken and egg problem.  Setting the CPU's runqueue requires
      that the CPU's runqueue already be set.  ;-)
      
      So insert an RCU read-side critical section to avoid the complaint.

      rcu: using ACCESS_ONCE() to observe the jiffies_stall/rnp->qsmask value · 4ee0a603
      Dongdong Deng authored
      Using ACCESS_ONCE() to observe the jiffies_stall/rnp->qsmask value
      due to the caller didn't hold the root_rcu/rnp node's lock.  Although
      use without ACCESS_ONCE() is safe due to the value loaded being used
      but once, the ACCESS_ONCE() is a good documentation aid -- the variables
      are being loaded without the services of a lock.

      Here a newly created task is having its runqueue assigned.  The new task
      is not yet on the tasklist, so cannot go away.  This is therefore a false
      positive, suppress with an RCU read-side critical section.

      The sock_update_classid() function calls task_cls_classid(current),
      but the calling task cannot go away, so there is no danger of
      the associated structures disappearing.  Insert an RCU read-side
      critical section to suppress the false positive.
