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

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.
