The writing of css->cgroup associated with the cgroup root in rebind_subsystems() is currently protected only by cgroup_mutex. However, the reading of css->cgroup in both proc_cpuset_show() and proc_cgroup_show() is protected just by css_set_lock. That makes the readers susceptible to racing problems like data tearing or caching. It is also a problem that can be reported by KCSAN. This can be fixed by using READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() to access css->cgroup. Alternatively, the writing of css->cgroup can be moved under css_set_lock as well which is done by this patch.

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 reStructuredText 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.
