When I initially examined the function current_cgns_cgroup_from_root(), I was perplexed by its lack of holding cgroup_mutex. However, after Michal explained the reason[0] to me, I realized that it already holds the namespace_sem. I believe this intricacy could also confuse others, so it would be advisable to include an annotation for clarification. After we replace the cgroup_mutex with RCU read lock, if current doesn't hold the namespace_sem, the root cgroup will be NULL. So let's add a WARN_ON_ONCE() for it.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
