    blk-cgroup: Fix RCU correctness warning in cfq_init_queue() · dcf097b2
    Vivek Goyal authored
    
    
    It is necessary to be in an RCU read-side critical section when invoking
    css_id(), so this patch adds one to blkiocg_add_blkio_group().  This is
    actually a false positive, because this is called at initialization time
    and hence always refers to the root cgroup, which cannot go away.
