[ Upstream commit 57b56d16800e8961278ecff0dc755d46c4575092 ]
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.
