But this issue is cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem <-> cpuset_rwsem deadlock.
If I'm understanding what you're writing correctly, this isn't a deadlock.
The cpuset_hotplug_workfn simply isn't being woken up while holding
cpuset_rwsem and others are just waiting for that lock to be released.

I believe it is probably a bug in the scheduler core code. __set_cpus_allowed_ptr_locked() calls affine_move_task() to move to a random cpu within the new set allowable CPUs. However, if migration is disabled, it shouldn't call affine_move_task() at all. Instead, I would suggest that if the current cpu is within the new allowable cpus, it should just skip doing affine_move_task(). Otherwise, it should fail __set_cpus_allowed_ptr_locked().

My 2 cents.
