cgroup/pids: remove spurious suspicious RCU usage warning
pids_can_fork() is special in that the css association is guaranteed to be stable throughout the function and thus doesn't need RCU protection around task_css access. When determining the css to charge the pid, task_css_check() is used to override the RCU sanity check. While adding a warning message on fork rejection from pids limit, 135b8b37bd91 ("cgroup: Add pids controller event when fork fails because of pid limit") incorrectly added a task_css access which is neither RCU protected or explicitly annotated. This triggers the following suspicious RCU usage warning when RCU debugging is enabled. cgroup: fork rejected by pids controller in =============================== [ ERR: suspicious RCU usage. ] 4.10.0-work+ #1 Not tainted ------------------------------- ./include/linux/cgroup.h:435 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! other info that might help us debug this: rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 0 1 lock held by bash/1748: #0: (&cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem){+++++.}, at: [<ffffffff81052c96>] _do_fork+0xe6/0x6e0 stack backtrace: CPU: 3 PID: 1748 Comm: bash Not tainted 4.10.0-work+ #1 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.9.3-1.fc25 04/01/2014 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x68/0x93 lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0xd7/0x110 pids_can_fork+0x1c7/0x1d0 cgroup_can_fork+0x67/0xc0 copy_process.part.58+0x1709/0x1e90 _do_fork+0xe6/0x6e0 SyS_clone+0x19/0x20 do_syscall_64+0x5c/0x140 entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25 RIP: 0033:0x7f7853fab93a RSP: 002b:00007ffc12d05c90 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000038 RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 00007f7853fab93a RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: 0000000001200011 RBP: 00007ffc12d05cc0 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 00007f78548db700 R10: 00007f78548db9d0 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 00000000000006d4 R13: 0000000000000001 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 000055e3ebe2c04d /asdf There's no reason to dereference task_css again here when the associated css is already available. Fix it by replacing the task_cgroup() call with css->cgroup.
