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 ]------------

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.
