cpuset: fix RCU lockdep splat
5d21cc2db040d01f8c19b8602f6987813e1176b4 ("cpuset: replace cgroup_mutex locking with cpuset internal locking") incorrectly converted proc_cpuset_show() from cgroup_lock() to cpuset_mutex. proc_cpuset_show() is accessing cgroup hierarchy proper to determine cgroup path which can't be protected by cpuset_mutex. This triggered the following RCU warning. =============================== [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ] 3.8.0-rc3-next-20130114-sasha-00016-ga107525-dirty #262 Tainted: G W ------------------------------- include/linux/cgroup.h:534 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! other info that might help us debug this: rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1 2 locks held by trinity/7514: #0: (&p->lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff812b06aa>] seq_read+0x3a/0x3e0 #1: (cpuset_mutex){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff811abae4>] proc_cpuset_show+0x84/0x190 stack backtrace: Pid: 7514, comm: trinity Tainted: G W +3.8.0-rc3-next-20130114-sasha-00016-ga107525-dirty #262 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81182cab>] lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x10b/0x120 [<ffffffff811abb71>] proc_cpuset_show+0x111/0x190 [<ffffffff812b0827>] seq_read+0x1b7/0x3e0 [<ffffffff812b0670>] ? seq_lseek+0x110/0x110 [<ffffffff8128b4fb>] do_loop_readv_writev+0x4b/0x90 [<ffffffff8128b776>] do_readv_writev+0xf6/0x1d0 [<ffffffff8128b8ee>] vfs_readv+0x3e/0x60 [<ffffffff8128b960>] sys_readv+0x50/0xd0 [<ffffffff83d33d18>] tracesys+0xe1/0xe6 The operation can be performed under RCU read lock.
