Zefan Li bfb0b80db5 cgroup: avoid attaching a cgroup root to two different superblocks
Run this:

    touch file0
    for ((; ;))
    {
        mount -t cpuset xxx file0
    }

And this concurrently:

    touch file1
    for ((; ;))
    {
        mount -t cpuset xxx file1
    }

We'll trigger a warning like this:

 ------------[ cut here ]------------
 WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 4675 at lib/percpu-refcount.c:317 percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm+0x92/0xb0
 percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm called more than once on css_release!

 ---[ end trace a79f61c2a2633700 ]---

Here's a race:

  Thread A				Thread B

  cgroup1_mount()
    # alloc a new cgroup root
    cgroup_setup_root()
					cgroup1_mount()
					  # no sb yet, returns NULL
					  kernfs_pin_sb()

					  # but succeeds in getting the refcnt,
					  # so re-use cgroup root
					  percpu_ref_tryget_live()
    # alloc sb with cgroup root
    cgroup_do_mount()

  cgroup_kill_sb()
					  # alloc another sb with same root
					  cgroup_do_mount()

					cgroup_kill_sb()

We end up using the same cgroup root for two different superblocks,
so percpu_ref_kill() will be called twice on the same root when the
two superblocks are destroyed.

We should fix to make sure the superblock pinning is really successful.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
