Subject: [PATCH RESEND] device_cgroup: Fix RCU list debugging warning
Message-ID: <20200406105950.GA2285@workstation-kernel-dev>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Disposition: inline
User-Agent: Mutt/1.12.2 (2019-09-21)
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

exceptions may be traversed using list_for_each_entry_rcu()
outside of an RCU read side critical section BUT under the
protection of decgroup_mutex. Hence add the corresponding
lockdep expression to fix the following false-positive
warning:

[    2.304417] =============================
[    2.304418] WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
[    2.304420] 5.5.4-stable #17 Tainted: G            E
[    2.304422] -----------------------------
[    2.304424] security/device_cgroup.c:355 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!
